According to Britain’s ITV, Diaz is speaking out along with other celebrities, including Billie Piper and Kate Winslet, against extreme thinness. The In Her Shoes star feels that ultra-skinny celebrities are having too much influence on society.
The 34 year-old actress explained, "I think it’s terrifying, it’s tragic and sad. It’s a sickness, something that’s going on in someone’s head. We get ideals from images that we see and there certainly should be more responsibility put on those people who are putting those images out into the world."
Last week, Billie Piper said that Victoria Beckham should not be a role model for adolescent girls, saying the the former Spice Girl is too thin.
Nicole Richie and Kate Bosworth are just two of the young female celebrities who are being criticized for their thin frames.
