Why JoJo Felt Insecure About Her Body While Filming Aquamarine


Joanna “JoJo” Levesque didn’t always feel comfortable in her shell. 

The “Too Little Too Late” singer shared that she often struggled with her body image while filming the 2006 movie Aquamarine alongside costars Emma Roberts and Sara Paxton

As JoJo explained during a Sept. 19 appearance on The Viall Files podcast, “I was not as skinny as the other girls.”

“I felt really like,” she paused before using her arms to mime having a larger body, “next to them.”

But JoJo doesn’t think she was alone in that insecurity. In fact, she believes the tendency to compare your body to others is instilled in women early on. 

“From a young age, I think, we’re all kind of aware, or we’re measuring ourselves up next to other girls,” the 33-year-old said, “and I was no different.”

But filming Aquamarine wasn’t all bad. JoJo—who had never acted in a movie before—said she “learned a lot” playing her tomboy character, Hailey Rogers, and working on set in “awesome” Australia.
