CELEBRITY Criticism

Can you imagine a world where everyone looks the same? A world where body measurements and whatever standards deemed ideal by society would be met by every single person? It would be pretty boring. We come in all shapes and sizes, and that should be celebrated, not demonized.

Celebrities, however, are exposed to a much wider audience, and their image is constantly under harsh scrutiny by the public and the media. Luckily, many stars have clapped back at body shamers. And many stars have the fanbase to clap back for them!  

Taylor Lautner shared a video on Instagram on May 22 where he confronted criticism about his looks head-on. The 'Twilight' alum reposted comments that were left on a post about him, including people saying that he "did not age well," mean remarks about his hairline, and comments that he "aged like a raisin."

"If this was 10 years ago, five years ago, maybe even two, three years ago, that really would have got under my skin," Lautner said. "It would have caused me to want to just go in a hole and not go outside." Luckily, he added, he's now "in a different place" and is no longer in an "unhealthy position" where he focuses on the "wrong things." He explained that "you find value where you put it," and he no longer puts value in what others think but rather in knowing who he is. "My biggest point is just think about and remember where you put your value in life, and also just be nice. It's not that difficult. Let's be nice to each other. Let's spread love and positivity. It's that simple."

The actor has spoken about his struggles with mental health and body image in the past, particularly how his ripped physique for the 'Twilight' films, and his extensive shirtlessness between the ages of 16-20, led to body image issues later on. "I did not know that it was affecting me or going to affect me in the future with body image, but now looking back at it, of course it did, and of course it is going to," he told 'The Squeeze' podcast in February. 

Unfortunately, society has miles to go in terms of body image. From "too fat" to "too skinny" and everything in between, in this gallery you'll learn more about how your favorite celebs have been body shamed. Click through.
