Melanie Lynskey opens up about body image issues

"Two and a Half Men" star Melanie Lynskey says she suffered from body image issues.
The 38-year-old "Togethernes" actress said she struggled with eating issues and deep unhappiness coming from her "different shape," reported People magazine.
"I was losing my mind trying to conform to something that was not physically possible for me. I was very unwell for a long time. I had eating issues and at a certain point I was like, 'I'm not going to survive' - not like I was on death's door or anything, but I was so unhappy and my hair was falling out.'
"I was like, 'I just need to look the way I'm supposed to look' and have faith that people are going to want to put someone in a film or on a show who looks like this. I did have to truly become comfortable with myself, because you can't fake it," Lynskey said.

The New Zealand-born actress has also starred in films such as "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," "Up in the Air" and "Ever After".
