Being a celebrity has its obvious perks, but one thing that probably isn’t so enjoyable is the constant pressure to look flawless — otherwise being picked apart on social media by the ever-insatiable internet trolls.
But there are some celebs that are fighting back, by simply being themselves with the utmost confidence; something many people —non-celebs included —struggle with.
