“I have body dysmorphia. I don’t ever see myself really the way other people see me. There is (was) never a point in my life where I loved my body. Never, ever,” she told Sports Illustrated.Megan revealed that since she was a little child, she had an “obsession” to look a certain way. She also says she has no idea how she had an awareness of her body that young, because she “grew up in a very religious environment where bodies weren’t even acknowledged”.

The actor affirmed that the “journey of loving myself is going to be never-ending”.

The actor also wished that people would notice her “rainbow aura” rather than her body. “I wished everyone noticed my aura, because I have a rainbow aura, and it’s special,” she said.

Megan later joked about her “murderer’s thumb”, and says that because she has such a short thumb, people assume she could have a short temper. But she says she is usually very patient and gets angry only when really mad at something.
