Despite being one of the Philippines' biggest and brightest stars today, Liza Soberano is still a normal girl. Proof? The 25-year-old actress revealed that she still has insecurities, just like anyone else.
In a recent vlog with Dr. Vicki Belo, Liza got candid about her number one insecurity in her showbiz career—her weight.
"Throughout my showbiz career, I would always get criticized for my weight fluctuating back and forth, and the rumors about me being pregnant just because of me gaining a little weight, it would really affect my mental health," Liza admitted.
According to her, she would always get compared to girls who had smaller body types than her. "Because I am [half-American], I also am a little bit on the bigger side," she added.
Due to that, she would always try covering herself up in baggy clothing or "by dressing in the same silhouettes over and over again because that became my comfort zone."
Liza also shared that she got her fair share of bullying while growing up due to her skin issues.
"I had really bad skin growing up. I had allergic reactions to the air, [the] changing environment. Because I grew up in America and I came here, all of a sudden, I had all these rashes coming up my legs."
"I kind of got bullied in school for that. People would call me 'Hayop' instead of saying 'Hi Hope.' People would say I had galis like a dog because my skin was really bad," she revealed.
Liza also got candid about her most recent insecurity. "As I got older, my hair started thinning a bit," she noted, sharing that she got alopecia back in 2020 due to stress.
"I guess the nature of the industry that we are in, we are constantly getting our hair and make-up done, constantly under a lot of pressure, and then lack of sleep," she noted.
