Christina Ricci’s battle with anorexia inspires new role
Christina Ricci has set out on a new career – as an eating disorder counselor.
The 28-year-old star has been candid about her battle with anorexia during her teen years. And according to reports, she has registered for a series of online classes to become a certified counselor to girls struggling with their self-esteem.
A source tells Star magazine, “Christina went through hell and back growing up. For years she struggled with her self-esteem, so she knows how hard it is for young girls.”
The source added that Ricci hopes “to learn how she can help them get better without having to go through all the pain she did as a child”.
