‘I wish I hadn’t’: Why Disney made Demi Lovato alter her appearance

Demi Lovato has confessed that she was once told by producers to alter her appearance before she went on to make it big on the Disney Channel. 

The 23-year-old star told Allure Magazine this week that she was told to fix the gap in her front teeth when she was just fifteen before being being cast in the smash movie Camp Rock alongside the Jonas Brothers. 

"I signed with Disney Channel when I got Camp Rock, and I had a gap between my two front teeth. 

"They were like, 'Would you be willing to fix it?' I wish today that I hadn't, because my gap was really cute."

Demi went on to have problems with bulimia and self harming before going to rehab in her early twenties. 

"I realised I could help people. It creates a conversation — there's an opening for children themselves to actually come forward and say, 'This is what I'm dealing with.' Or 'I have a problem. I need help.' "

Despite going public with her issues, it has not been plain sailing for the Confident singer. 

"I'll have people who are like, 'Stop talking about eating disorders. Like, we get it. You struggled. Now shut up.' "

"I [also] started wearing sexier stuff, and I got some hate for that — like, 'You've changed.' "

But Demi has certainly come to terms with her own body image as she posted a gorgeous full body selfie from the set of her Allure shoot. 

"Posting a #nophotoshop pic because I'm proud to show my body the way it naturally is…" read the caption. 

We think Demi has never looked healthier or happier.
