Christina Ricci: “I Eat Crap”
Category: Celebrity Diets, Christina Ricci
The lovely Christina Ricci recently did an interview with the Telegraph UK, where her past and present eating habits were briefly mentioned. While once upon a time she suffered from a bad bout of anorexia and got down to 84 pounds (six stone), nowadays she seems healthy and slim (but not overly so).
Christina admits that she isn’t the healthiest eater, however. She claims to forget to eat for a period of time, then will grab something like a bag of potato chips.
I ask if she usually eats well these days. ‘No. I eat crap. I’m an inconsistent eater - all the things you’re not supposed to be. I forget to eat, then I’ll eat a bag of potato chips. And then you get to a point at a certain age when you’re, like, “All right, I guess I have to take care of myself now.”‘
(Well, at least she’s honest!)
Christina also works out with a trainer three times per week to keep fit.
Here are some recent photos of Christina at LAX… and it could be my imagination, but she seems a bit skinnier…

FIRST!
FIRST! She’s cute!
ooof she does look like a 12 yr old though - very skinny.
i agree…no big fake boobs or huge ass = 12 yr old
if you are not tall and skinny you will always look like 12 yr old. i am small and look the same.
Congratulation Chloe!
I am such a fan of hers. But the inteview is full of lies. No one in Hollywood ‘forgets’ to eat!
Several starlets admitted to excessively smoking to wart off hunger and laxative abuse. Why can’t she just admit that she watches the scale like a hawk. It can take up to seven years to ove come an eating disorder. I still like her movies though.
i actually think she has lost several pounds…not a good thing, shes getting a bit too skinny.
I think she looks cute here.
she looks very thin in these pictures. i kinda don’t like it. i liked it when she was a bit heavier with boobs and hips.
I like skinny women, but they must have boobs.
If Christina has boobs, they are sure covered up.
she looks really good here aside from that hideous jacket. petite but not too thin.
I remember reading an interview where she said that once she quit worrying about what she ate and how much she exercised her body was the best it ever was.
Christina looks excellent in these phtotos.
Love her, but definitely getting skinny. Almost a lollipop-girl…
I think she looks good, I would love to know what brand her jeans are…….too cute!
oh so much weight lost, last time i saw her on this site her legs looked chunky, and arms soft. and now she looks very slim.
lol……….
i love her……….
she looks fabulous….
not fan of that hair color….
she does look a bit skinnier but you can see the muscle tone even through her jeans legs.
she kinda looks like victoria beckham in the last pic. the way she holds her bag, her big glasses, nose and mouth area, the thinness in her cheeks, jaw.
ive always loved her, not ur conventional beauty but still beautiful!
i like how honest she is, and she is gorgeous. i do think she’s gotten thinner. the whole “forgetting to eat” thing for a person who had struggled with anorexia seems more like an excuse than what really happens. just throwing that out there…
having big boobs and a big a$$ is disgusting, trust me I have them both and its not a good thing. You have to wear a bra with everything because you don’t feel like you have support and your back hurts. You can’t wear short skirts because your butt makes you skirt stick out and look way shorter. I’d rather have a tiny bum and small boobies…like a b-cup would be perfect for me. I thinks she looks great being tiny…
how about a post of disney girls like miley cyrus
Perfectly teeny tiny. She looks good that thin.
Short people always looks better when they’re underweight.
I like her much more when she as a bang on her forhead… but she dose look good!
Yep, she’s definitely lost. She looks lovely.
I am small and have small butt and small boobs and I would not change it for anything. It feels really great and you have no problems to move and you can go out with no bra. When you are small it will really look funny if u have really big boobs.
She looks VERY thin!
she is totally adorable, but man she looks teeny again!
if she was 85lbs when she was truly ill, she should healthfully weigh probably 105, but she looks more like 95 now to me.
thanks oksana…must be nice
What is UP with everyone calling petite women that don’t have giant knockers and a big butt “a 12 year old boy”??? Yes, you can have small breasts and STILL be feminine, FYI. Women who are naturally petite usually look ridiculous with implants anyway (Think Victoria Beckham).
Christina looks really good here. I don’t think she’s any skinnier than she used to be, but the fitted jacket and the jeans make her look slimmer. But I still don’t think she “forgets to eat”. More like: she doesn’t want to eat, so she drinks Diet Coke instead. And when she’s about to pass out, she eats a cube of cheese, lol.
She’s too thin. Her head looks to big for her shoulders. Her neck and hair look like she is malnourished and dehydrated. Her hands look like a man’s hands stuck on a child’s arms. Even the bones of her foot are sticking up between her shoe and hem. This is a person with health issues.
I think she looks great.
And by the way, AmyQ, I don’t believe it is appropriate to discuss the bodies of 15 year old children like Miley Cyrus.
I LIKE HER,BUT SHE IS TOO SKINNY NEEDS TO PUT ON WEIGHT
I believe that there are those who forget to eat. My skinny workaholic husband always forgets to eat when he’s working. It just doesn’t seem like priority when you are trying to solve a probelm at work. I have another female coworker like that. Both my husband and coworker are about 10 lbs underweight for their height. Some people just aren’t into food.
I truly can’t imagine “forgetting to eat”. I mean yeah, there are those days when you’re so busy you can barely squeeze in a granola bar, but forgetting to eat seems so far from my world.
small girls are cute!
I like her!
her poor body!! it looks really starved down. I really doubt that she “forgets” to eat…when you’ve been arorexic, it will ALWAYS stick with you.
Aww! She is so tiny! I love us, but honestly, I’m smaller than her. crazy right! But yea, we don’t need big boobs and ass - think proportion!
AmyQ- Big boobies and butts are nice, (especially if the boobies are natural).
I love the gray shoes. Plus, CR was great in Buffalo 66.
she is so small! but didn’t she have breast reduction surgery to make herself appear slimmer a few years ago?
I can’t stand when women say they regularly ‘forget to eat’. Coming from a supposedly recovered anorexic, I call BS…I don’t buy it for a minute. She’s basically admitting that she still does the eating disorder thing…but now calls it ‘forgetting’. Like some other well known eating disordered celebs have said they ‘were stessed’ or ‘going through a difficult time’. It’s just more of the game. And she does look thinner than usual to me..
I think she looks good. She has pretty bone structure on her face.
whatever happened to her being cool (now she has the big glassses, big bag, all that stupid shit)
I like her build she’s petite and would look strange with more curves
but she really should change her hairstyle
this one makes her forehead look huge
She has revealed she was anorexic in the past and this is a statement that would totally come from a girl with an ED. Like, oh I eat crap but look how huge my head is on top of my malnourished body!
i’m wondering how recent. she’s wearing a jacket… and it’s been HOT in LA for the past 3-4 days.
Yep, I forget to eat. It happens. Sometimes we’re just too busy or too tired to even notice that we’re hungry. I’m a med student with a job, and a life. I’ve gone until 11 p.m without noticing that I’ve been living on black coffee all day.
Shouldn’t this headline read, “Christina Ricci: ‘I talk crap’”??
I know i’m gonna get busted for saying this but i like women who are really petite, looking delicate or slender …but surprisingly STRONG!!! that’s a dream girl.
About Eating disorders…”forgetting to eat”..or whatever you want to call it…
” IT’S ALL IN THE MIND “
i’m often so busy that i forget to eat, and don’t have the time to go to a proper lunch.. and then i either not eat, or i buy a slice of pizza or sth. but i too used to suffer from an ED and before that time i would never forget to eat or eat nothing the entire day…
she looks like an alien here!
I think she looks anorexic again. Seeing stars in pictures is sort of warped; you have a different curve for skinny vs fat in pictures of stars. What would look tiny for a facebook picture of a friend looks normal if it’s Christina Ricci. Well, I just made believe that it was someone I knew instead of a celebrity and all of a sudden she just looked so skinny to me. And with her history of eating disorders and that diet coke in her hand, I’d bet that she’s still struggling. That sort of thing often doesn’t go away. She really is looking anorexic when you think about how she’d look in person. Like the width of her thighs and the size of her head in relation to her body. I hope she’s okay.
i think she’s too skinny. she looks like a 12 year old girl. i know she has a tiny build but these pictures it is unflatteringly so.
nice jeans
I don’t call it “forgetting to eat” when I don’t eat anything until maybe 3 p.m., especially on a busy day. And no way is it an eating disorder - it’s just that I don’t eat when I’m supposed to, I eat when I’m hungry.
But then I don’t binge on crap but eat a normal meal.
Forgetting to eat yeah right my ass. Too busy to eat maybe but when you say forget that is just a BS excuse.
Here ladies and gents is proof that you can be skinny and still be FUGLY. ugh.
I have days where I forget to eat. I think of getting something to eat but by the time I actually come round to I’ve gone over my hunger. And yes, sometimes all I eat is a bag of crisps.
I thought she had breast reduction, too. In any case, her chest looks smaller than in the past. She used to look so voluptuous.
She forgets to eat??? Who forgets to eat??? Doesn’t everyone get hunger pains if it gets to that point? I think not only does she eat CRAP, but that comment is CRAP!! She’s
an admitted anorexic, and what makes us think she’s not now. Look at her– she definitely looks underweight to me. I’m so sick of stars saying dumb things about their weight…” I
forgot to eat”, or “I’m just naturally thin”
when they’ve gone from 120 lbs. down to 90lbs.) Yae right!! They need to get some help. Give me a break!!!
I think she looks really cute here.
i think eating disorders are very personal, and if thats the way she wants to put it, i understand. the truth with me is that rather than forgetting to eat, i forget that I’m supposed to eat and that i have to take care of myself. when you are stressed and overwhelmed, sometimes old habits sneak back before you realize it, some days…. so i think she is admitting that recovery is hard for her, but i think she’s trying. it’s a long process, you dont just decide to recover and do so immediately. i’ve been trying for a couple years now and sometimes i “forget” its hard to explain because, its forgetting but not really forgetting. either way, i dont think people here should give her a hard time for being embarrassed and not explaining it perfectly. it’s hard to do anyway… and when you’re suffering from an ED and just wanna be perfect, it makes it harder to admit you’re not recovering perfectly either.
She needs some serious bangs to cover that forehead. She’s a tiny woman and, proportionately, her body looks good to me. I have no idea if she’s BSing or not. I mean, who really knows for sure.
She really lost weight. I bet she saw her latest appearances on talkshows and was repulsed. (her arms/legs looked thick)
Her hair is even thinning a bit.
Maybe shes on the “forget-me-so” diet.
I did that when I worked FT and went to school FT.It does happen.
That rubbish about “I forget to eat” sounds like a non fully recovered anorexic…
Love her Louis Vuitton bag and her flats. I think she is cute and love her shape. I like her hair darker and wearing bangs.
AmyQ- I disagree. PLEASE NO MILEY CYRUS. I’m SOOOOOOOOOO tired of her, she’s not cute@ all (Lord, forgive me for talking about a child, but seriously, she’s a bit fugly) & if it weren’t for Disney, we’d know nothing of her. BOOOOORING! (IMHO
)
I also disagree with Anna- I forget to eat ALL THE TIME, and trust me, NO ONE would consider me anywhere near anorexic! Get busy, forget to eat, scarf down a bag of potato chips from the vending machine. Sounds kinda honest.
Ricci is adorable- love LOVE her purse!
Spectra- “cube of cheese”- HAHA!
I actually have a gay bf that did the “Devil Wears Prada” diet. It worked, but then he ate a whole pizza’s worth of cheese @ our movie night, therefore ruining his hard work.
thats bull… i eat crap is just another way of saying i dont eat….but she does look great, i wish i could forget to eat.
I just left a huge meal for her in the toilet!
has anyone else of you noticed that she wore this jeans several times before? she had this one on in the last 2 pics..i think she looks very healthy and not underweight, but normal!
I wish I could forget to eat too.
same shoes, same bag, same pair of jeans??
anyone know what brand of jeans they are? I’m always on the lookout for jeans fit for shorter people!
This doesn’t ring true. She used to be quite plump (like 1998 when she was in the movie “the opposite of sex”), then she got really skinny (ed) now she says she forgets to eat and then eats crap…? NO, no, no. You don’t just recover from an ed, issues stay with you your whole life. I understand why she wouldn’t want to talk about it, but why do they (celebrities) have to say such stupid things?
No hips, small boobs, short legs. It’s genetics and she’s rocking the body she was born with. The haters are hating because that body type appears thinner than the curvy ones.
Obviously there are some here who have never been so involved in a project that they’ve forgotten to eat and that doesn’t mean not eating for days, just skipping a meal here and there. Then you just grab the nearest thing, which tends to be crap to curb your hunger.
celebs are so full of crap with that “forgetting to eat BS”
do the basic biological functions of her body no longer work? Anyone with a stomach and a brain is going to eventually get hungry (which to most people would me a “reminder” its time to eat)
“Obviously there are some here who have never been so involved in a project that they’ve forgotten to eat and that doesn’t mean not eating for days, just skipping a meal here and there.”
Well she doesn’t really do anything anymore that I can tell so Im not sure she can use that excuse…
guess no one wants to cast a grown woman that looks like a 12 year old
If she was recently on talk shows and looked “thick” how can she look like this just a short time later? Anyway, she does look way skinnier than the last post about her and I love her jeans. You can tell her thighs are muscular and not just little. I know I’ve heard her talking about having an ED but when was that? I don’t really remember her being too tiny except for when she was a kid.
she “forgets” to eat, but remembers to meet with a trainer 3 times a week
Have to agree with both zoey and and Anna. Once anorexic, difficult not fall back into old habits.
Never seen a skinny girl drinking Diet Coke…
So is there a manual for ed’s somewhere I haven’t seen? Lord, maybe she is recovered, maybe she does forget to eat. Shades of grey, people.
I love her grey flats.
They are adorable with those jeans!
Love you christina ricci!
I don’t forget to eat. (I also don’t have enough of an exciting life.) But I have to say that this does not look like a weight that would be easy or effortless for a grown woman to maintain. She has not always been this thin. My guess would be that it’s a struggle. I don’t know. She’s a talented actress, in any case. I wish her the best.
FYI, this is info. from Wikipedia: For her role in Black Snake Moan, Ricci was required to lose several pounds and wore a forty-pound (18 kg) chain during filming.[14] Apart from having to lose weight, Ricci ate only food items without any nutritional value to achieve her unhealthy appearance.[15]
Damn…look at those CURVES
as far as i remeber ricci had nice boobs. where have the gone Oo and that outfit is ah-gly
“she ‘forgets’ to eat, but remembers to meet with a trainer 3 times a week” hahahahaa
Skinny but not too thin. very cute!!!
i think she’s the most beautiful human being to ever live. and we have the same funny neck thing and same body shape… so it makes me feel better.
i have had periods of time where i’ve had a serious eating disorder, and now, i honestly forget to eat, too. it does happen. whether it’s habit, or caffeine, or i just don’t feel hunger pangs anymore, or what, i don’t know, but i don’t always do it on purpose. and the more weight you carry, the more calories you’re burning all the time, so if you’re heavier you’ll feel hungry sooner after eating.
and i am naturally thin. at my heaviest i was 125. it’s difficult for short, naturally thin girls, because a few pounds shows up so much more on us. and on the opposite side, even a five pound loss looks pretty drastic.
i think the sign that she is recovering is that she can go a while without eating and then eat something like chips without stressing about it. if she were still in the depths of the disorder, she would probably force herself to go longer without food, and when she did eat, she’d probably either eat more than that or beat herself up for it pretty badly. and she wouldn’t want to tell anyone about it. she would obsess and yell at herself and make promises to never do it again. i’ve gotten to the same point she has… i still go without eating sometimes, and i still eat crap, but whether i eat or not, it’s transient, and i come back to some sort of equillibrium. i let myself behave however comes naturally when it comes to food, and accept what happens. she seems happy and healthy, and i’m really pleased about that
.
She is teeny-tiny!
How can she forget to eat but remember to meet with her trainer? Even if she was really wrapped up in something and skipped an occasional meal, she wouldn’t like she’s starving herself like she does now. She’s falling back in her old anorexic ways. Duh
Haha… definitely my type of girl. I’m exactly the same.
She looks very good. Keeping the weight off and staying healthy.
she looks good, very cute and she’s like me:she always has a diet coke in her hand!!
Im the same way dont eat for a reaaly lonf persiod of time and then down some shit. its really anoying
she sure does like those shoes. i love looking at this girl. we have the same body shape, mine’s just a lot heavier. i would look like her if i were thin… minus the forehead.
She allways look strange and weird on her face, especially when smiling.
