Lily Collins Takes On Role That Hits Close To Home

In her latest film project, To the Bone, Lily Collins plays the role of a woman suffering from a serious eating disorder. For Collins, the fictional character’s struggle hit close to home.

“This was definitely a more dramatic role for me. I suffered with eating disorders when I was a teenager as well,” Collins, 27, told reporters at the Sundance Film Festival, adding that the film required her to “emotionally revisit” her own struggles.
