Being a famous actress comes with a lot of perks, but as history has proven, it's not the easiest job in the world.
Kate Bosworth opened up about how "intense and overwhelming" it can be to live in the spotlight on the Ladies First With Laura Brown podcast, where she talked about her rise to fame following the premiere of the surf drama Blue Crush.
The movie came out in 2002 and was a smash hit, landing the then-21-year-old actress roles in movies like Win a Date With Tad Hamilton! and Superman Returns. But behind the scenes, Kate says she was actually having a "really, really hard time."
"I did not know how to handle that at all," she reflects. "And I also did not know how to really communicate through that very well to support systems or to my friends or family."
The 38-year-old actress continues, "I was losing a lot of weight because I was really under a lot of scrutiny, and I was so stressed and spun out that if you see images of me then, it's like seeing someone under duress."
