Viola Davis of the breakout hit, “How To Get Away With Murder”, who has been vocal about her thoughts on being called “less classically beautiful,” recently opened up about her own struggles with beauty and how she balanced her health with what society thought as beautiful.

In a recent magazine interview, Davis shared her thoughts on losing half her hair at age 28 to Alopecia areata and how she would wear a wig everywhere to feel beautiful:

“I woke up one day and it looked like I had a Mohawk. Big splash of bald on the top of my head,” she says. “I was like, What is this? Until I found out it was stress related. That’s how I internalized it. I don’t do that anymore. My favorite saying in the world is, ‘The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.’ I am telling you, I have spent so much of my life not feeling comfortable in my skin. I am just so not there anymore.”
