Prom Night star Brittany Snow says she couldn’t have beat her nine-year battle with anorexia without the support of actress (and BFF) Sophia Bush.

“Sophia gives really, really good advice,” Snow, 22, reveals in the May issue of CosmoGIRL!. “I was going through a difficult time, and she was going through a difficult time figuring out the whole Chad [Michael Murray split] thing.

“We had so many slumber parties where she held my hand [as we worked] through a lot of different things,” Snow goes on. “When somebody can be there through something like that, they’re a friend forever.”

Snow says she decided to make her struggle with anorexia public after two of her friends died from an eating disorder.

“I was devastated,” she says. “I have so many girlfriends who are not even in Hollywood who struggle with eating disorders — Sophia and Amanda [Bynes] are the only two people I know who are happy with their bodies.”

Living in the superficial world of Hollywood, Snow says she is glad she overcame her battle at an early age.

“I think everybody wants to be popular, especially out here in Hollywood,” she says.

“Thank God I went through all of that so early, in middle and high school, to realize it’s not about being popular or cool — it’s about being who you are.”
