Sarah Michelle Gellar is so crippled by insecurity she often avoids looking in mirrors as she suffers from body dysmorphic disorder.
The 34-year-old actress, who is mother to a daughter, Charlotte, with husband Freddie Prinze, Jr., reveals she has long been unhappy with her looks and she puts her worries down to the condition, which leaves a sufferer preoccupied by perceived defects in their appearance.
She tells Health magazine, "I'm a female! I totally have body dysmorphic disorder. I think most women do. A make-up artist friend once said, 'I don't think I've ever seen you look in a mirror'. I'm surrounded by them all the time - you sit in hair and make-up - so I guess I just have this mechanism where I tune it out. So every once in a while, I'll look and I'll be like, 'Wait, that's what I look like?'
"I just have to remember that I'm human, and I'm a mom. Being a parent changes the vanity at least a little bit. It has to. Your priorities are different."
