British-raised Hollywood actress Thandie Newton used to suffer from
bulimia and still bares the scars, she revealed in a new magazine
interview.
She began suffering from the eating disorder when she was 14 and training
for a ballet exam, Newton -- who won best supporting actress at last
year's British BAFTA awards for her role in "Crash" -- told Easy Living
magazine.
"I ate nothing but cottage cheese. It didn't seem so strange. My mum was
a health visitor, so we never had butter in our house, we had Flora. I
had a very healthy, nutrition-conscious upbringing," she said.
The disorder turned into an obsession when she started going out with an
older man, said the 34-year-old.
"We used to go out to dinner all the time, and he'd get so excited about
eating... and it must have been my way of separating myself from him - by
becoming bulimic.
"I would go back to the flat that we were sharing at the time, and I'd
throw up," she said.
Explaining that she suffered from "horrible bulimia for about a year,"
she said: "I've still got the scars on my knuckles from where I put my
fingers down my throat."
Newton, who also starred in "Mission Impossible 2," was born in Zambia
and raised there and in England, where she went to Cambridge University
before embarking on a glittering movie career.
