Portia de Rossi has spent the past few weeks promoting her new book Unbearable Lightness, which details her past body struggles and coming to terms with her sexuality while trying to launch a Hollywood career. After an interview with Oprah, Portia appeared on wife Ellen DeGeneres’ show to share more details, including how a modelling stint at age 12 led to an eating disorder that at one stage saw her weight plummet to 37kg.
