Why People Still Interested in Crystal Renn’s Weight? (Crystal’s Interview for Vogue Nippon June 2011)

Share |

Crystal Renn’s book Hungry: A Young Model’s Story of Appetite, Ambition and the Ultimate Embrace of Curves was published in the autumn of 2009, and since that time people have been talking about her weight. Sometimes discussions grew too hot. There were periods when no one remembered about the model. But now, more than two years later, Crystal Renn’s body issues are again in the center of speculation. I wonder why people are still interested? Haven’t we all had enough already?

Crystal Renn (See Crystal Renn’s full photo gallery) gave a sincere interview to Vogue Nippon in which she told how much angry she was when people called her ‘emaciated’.

Crystal Renn said:

The thing is, I was recovering from anorexia. My body’s going to do some things that I don’t expect. It’s a learning process for me. The problem is when we start bashing and saying ‘Oh i think she’s not as pretty when she’s this thin’ or I even read a comment where it said I was emaciated. I’ve been called fat a million times but when someone called me emaciated, I’ve got to be honest, I got really really angry. I am not emaciated. It’s funny because if I, for instance gained the weight because I was listening to them, I’d be doing the very same thing I was doing when I started out in this industry. I was listening to others to decide where my weight should be and who I should be in general. And I refuse to do that again. It would be more hypocritical.”

The beauty who posed for a number of intriguing pictures for Vogue Nippon June 2011 issue also mentioned she might consider pursuing acting career one day because it is related to modeling which she likes a lot.

Crystal Renn told Vogue Nippon:

If you’d asked me a year ago I would have said absolutely not–I love modeling, done. Now, I really do see the connection between modeling and acting and I see the challenge in acting. As a model, I’m always aware of the camera. If there’s a camera over there it’s like a laser in the back of my head–I can feel it and I will model for it. There’s always that awareness of people watching you. When you’re an actress, however, you’ve got to lose all of that. And the challenge for me will be can I do that? And I hopefully think I can with practice and over time. I think more and more that’s going to be a direction I maybe go in. I’ve been working on a project that I can’t go into too much detail on but it’s given me an opportunity so that people will get to see me in a different light perhaps.”
