18. Angelina Jolie
What could a gorgeous strong woman like Angelina Jolie have to worry about enough to resort to self-harm? Apparently the actress opened up about her past years, when she would be so fed up with things being “too easy” that she would cut herself. Sheesh, sorry that you are beautiful and independent and successful. Even so, we understand that it is a very serious thing, and that Jolie was looking for something to take the place of the hurt and insecurity. All of that pent-up energy ended up going into cutting and other risky behaviors. We hope that now she understands that she can use that energetic spirit in so many other ways!
17. Russell Brand
Yeah, no doubt that Russell Brand is a scary dude. Yet his rough exterior was actually hiding something else…when he was in his younger days he suffered from the depression and insecurity that strikes many soul-searchers. He succumbed to an eating disorder as well as cutting. He ended up being diagnosed with manic depression and bipolar disorder. He also has attention deficit hyperactive disorder, and that the drugs he was doing definitely did not help with getting help and treatment. Hopefully all of that bad stuff is behind him. Now that he is divorced from Katy Perry, maybe he can start focusing on his own health?
