According to his own statements, pop star Robbie Williams (“Let Me Entertain You”) is struggling with a perception disorder regarding his body. He always feels ugly, so the Brit. “I could write a book about self-loathing when it comes to how I perceive my body,” the 49-year-old wrote on Instagram. If he had one wish, he’d rather be able to eat as much as he wanted without getting fat than fly.
He suffers from body dysmorphic disorder, Williams wrote in the post published on Monday. At the same time, he was 18 kilograms or more overweight at times. But even losing weight doesn’t help. “Right now I’m skinny…but as I am I say to myself, ‘Damn great Rob, you managed to get skinny and now you’re old, congratulations, sarcastic clap’.”

Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental illness in which those affected are very concerned with subjectively perceived defects in their own appearance. The disorder can take on delusional traits and is often associated with eating disorders. People usually get sick in early adulthood. According to the British health service NHS, the disease can seriously affect everyday life and lead to depression, self-harm and even suicidal thoughts. Behavioral therapy, antidepressants, or antipsychotics are recommended for treatment.
The situation was a “damn catastrophe,” Williams wrote. He added: “It’s a real fight. The sadness is shocking. I’ve had it my whole life and it just doesn’t stop.” Williams stressed he wasn’t doing this publicly to fish for compliments, but to get rid of it. “And if someone recognizes themselves in the words I wrote, maybe it will help us both,” said the former Take That star.
