Veteran actress Diane Keaton says there was a time in her life when she was trying to fill an emptiness in her heart by eating too much.
Veteran actress Diane Keaton says there was a time in her life when she was trying to fill an emptiness in her heart by eating too much.
The 71-year-old actress, who suffered from bulimia in her 20s, says she still cannot find words to explain what led her to indulge in such behaviour back then, reports FemaleFirst.
"I was trying to fill a vast hole. I had a massive appetite for ... everything. Just wanting a lot. I can't explain it - I still don't really know why.
"But I will tell you why I stopped - I went into analysis with a woman five days a week because it was real bad," Keaton tells Radio Times magazine.
Ask her whether close friend and actor-director Woody Allen had any idea about her condition, the "Hampstead" actress says, "No, not at all. No one knew. I was really good at hiding. But I asked him about an analyst. Maybe he did know, but I don't know for sure.
"I think it came up in a conversation like, 'Maybe I should... Do you know anyone?' that kind of thing," she says.
