Pop star Miley Cyrus says she used to be depressed about how she looks but is now more self-confident.
The 22-year-old "Wrecking Ball" hitmaker said she was not always as body confident as she is now and used to have severe issues with her appearance, reported Female First.

Cyrus said she does not want to be bound by gender stereotypes and is constantly breaking them.

"And the other night I wore a pink dress because I felt cute. I can bake a cupcake and then go play hockey.
