Kate Beckinsale suffered from a severe case of anorexia when she was younger, dropping down to a shocking 70 pounds. The star was so ill that she had to attend therapy sessions five days a week for four years to fight the deadly disease.

She explains, "I (wish) I had had a sensible magazine article to have read at the time from someone who was actually intelligent. I never really talked about that, actually. (But) when I was around 22 or 23, I decided I'd mention it because I decided I was one of the few people I knew who had that problem who didn't remain a freak about it."

The 32-year-old star insists that she has recovered from her eating disorder adding, "It's really more about fixing up your life instead of eating or not eating."
