Billie Eilish has felt for years that her body was trying to hold her back. The singer tells Vogue that a hip injury was the cause of his distrust of his body.
The 21-year-old American developed hip problems in her youth, which prevented her from pursuing the dancing career she had in mind. “During my teenage years, I hated myself,” she says. “A lot of that hate came from anger at my body and the pain it caused.”
Eilish felt that her body “limited her for years.” It took her a long time to realize that her body didn’t want to boycott her.
The singer has often spoken out about her struggles with her own body. For example, she has previously stated in interviews that she knowingly wears loose clothing so that her body can be hidden. According to Eilish, this is partly a result of social media. Including the number Overheated denounces the unattainable ideals of beauty.
