After an up-and-down struggle with her weight for years, Mischa Barton is finally comfortable in her own skin, and is baring her bod for the May issue of U.K. Cosmopolitan.
“Surely there are more important issues than if someone has cellulite,” Mischa tells the mag of her own experiences facing media scrutiny for putting on a few extra pounds.
The former O.C. actress adds, “And I don’t understand the point of people looking for bad things. Why bother? I know it’s human nature to want to pick on other people, but I find it a little shallow.”
Barton, 23, tells Cosmo she went from a size 12 to a six or eight after breaking up with her rocker boyfriend Taylor Locke, last September.
Mischa was recently cast in the CW show A Beautiful Life to play a model, but recently rumors heated up that the actress was ordered to pack on the pounds for the part.
Whether or not Barton will be adding a few extra lbs is still up in the air, but for the first time in a long time, she says she’s happy with her body.
“Everyone has issues about their body, but I feel confident now. I’m healthy and happy.”
