Heidi Klum is challenging one of Hollywood’s biggest beauty obsessions.

Klum says she changed the way she sees her body after years of relentless pressure from her husband, Tom Kaulitz, to stay thin.

“I’m not interested at all,” Klum said. Us WeeklyIt refers to weight loss pills.
The 53-year-old actress admitted that she has gained weight in recent years, but says she now believes it suits her better than the ultra-thin look that the modeling world has been demanding for decades.
“I’ve gained weight over the years. I’m not a size 24 jean anymore. But I think the older we get, the better we look when we’re not so skinny.”
The turning point, she said, came from her husband, Kaulitz.

“In general, people should do what they want. The same goes for Ozempic,” he said. “A lot of people struggle to get that jump start, and if you’ve always struggled with your weight and been trapped for 40 years and it’s been a big focus of your life, then maybe this is a great thing to try.”

“It’s never been a part of my life, so it’s hard for me to judge. If you look in the mirror and you’re not happy with something and you want to fix it, fix it.”
