KINGS OF LEON STAR'S ANOREXIA HELL

We're used to hearing female celebs tugging at our heartstrings with tales of eating disorders and bad body-image, but we were pleasantly surprised and inspired to hear Kings Of Leon frontman Caleb Followill open up about his battle with anorexia...

The handsome and healthy 26-year-old has now overcome the killer eating disorder, and has bravely spoken out about his experiences. Cutie Caleb made the shocking revelations to Q Magazine, and explained the extreme lengths he went to in order to look his best. "I always thought I wasn't good enough", he confessed, before adding, "I'd do anything to keep my hands and mouth busy without eating". Oh God. Poor Caleb subjecting himself to a life of black coffee and sweat-filled jogs, where he'd cover himself in several layers of clothes in a desperate attempt to sweat off further weight. Fortunately Caleb beat the disorder before hitting the big time with the band, and he's now healthier and happier than ever. Thank God for that, and well done to Caleb for speaking out! It's super-rare to find a male celeb talking about such matters, so we're glad the Kings of Leon cutie has done it. Well done Caleb!
