Sophia Bush Loves Her Healthy Curves


By Jancee Dunn
From Health magazine

One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush is only 26, but for her, good health is a lifelong mission. “I’ve started to treat my health like a science project,” says Bush, who can rattle off lists of bone-density-building exercises and antioxidant-rich foods with aplomb. Bright and refreshingly levelheaded, the Pasadena, Calif., native is the only child of father Charles, a photographer, and mom Maureen, who runs a photo studio. And Bush has done her parents proud: You won’t find her spilling half-naked out of a limo. (In fact, the only time she made tabloid news was when she and her Hill co-star Chad Michael Murray divorced in 2005 after five months of marriage.)

Bush spends most of the year commuting from her Los Angeles home to the Wilmington, N.C., set of One Tree Hill, which has just started its sixth season. (She’s also in two upcoming films: The Narrows and Table For Three.) In her limited spare time, Bush is a passionate advocate for health-care reform, a role she took on after witnessing loved ones who have fallen ill. Here, she holds forth on that cause and much more.

    SINCE WHEN IS BEING A SIZE 2 CURVY FOR SOMEONE WHO IS 5′4″? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SHE IS SKINNY. IF SHE WAS AN 8 OR 10 THEN I WOULD SAY YES, BUT A 2? ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD STAR WHO THINKS SHE IS “FAT”. BUT SHE CALLS HERSELF CURVY. BECUASE SHE SAID SHE WON’T GIVE UP PASTE OR WINE TO LOSE IT.

  • Lauren

    Actually she stated that in the business of hollywood a size 2 is considered curvy. And she never called herself fat.

  • Jenn

    Sounds like Anna just gorged on McDonald’s and is feeling bad.

  • carie

    i think it depends on how you are portioned….. she has a nice shape.. but to me size 2 is boney.. thats just me.. if i was size 2 i would look sick being that i am 5′7 i weigh 162 and size 11 i could afford to loose about 15 lbs, but it aint nothing serious.

  • mary

    I think that she looks great and has a very healthy perspective of herself! It’s nice to see a younger woman with a little bit of meat on her bones as opposed to seeing ribs and spines. She is beautiful! BTW, the labels inside clothing vary quite a bit from designer to designer. One person could very easily fit perfectly into jeans with three (or more) different labels! Just depends on what designer you wear.

  • Paty

    I agree with Anna. Since when is a 2 curvy! I am 5′3 and 115, size 3/4 and I do not consider myself curvy! I am tired of “stick people” (especially Hollywood) calling them self fat or “curvy”. I would like to hold down those people and feed them pasta. Young women have enough issues growing up today; they don’t need to starve themselves to look like their role models in Hollywood.

    I have worked on ONE TREE HILL and as a man,Sophia is small and she has this way about her that is sexy.She is curvy and the picture of her holding her heal is true. When I was there she could pull it up to her head. She is kind to people and not stuck up like alot of stars are. She also has weight just like all of us. She is not like a leaf she is a fine lady.

  • Charlie

    She said a size 2 is considered curvey in LA where everyone is a size 0, she seems perfectly proportioned for her height in my opinion. It’s easy to think people are too skinny if you have body confidance issues yourself, but at the end of the day she eats healthily and exercises and is happy with herself and she shouldn’t be criticised for that. If your happy with your weight and shape at any size as long as your health isnt at risk there is nothing to worry about.

  • Carey

    She annoys me. This is obviously such a publicity stunt.. Anything to reach the tabloids.. because shes not that famous, nor a good actress.. on top of that, sometimes i see her in the ever vapid USmagazine.. and she doesnt look like 2.. more like a 6 with cankles.”Im a size 2 and curvy” whatever. just sounds sooo desperate for attention. STARS HAVE CELLULITE TOO.. duh. especially you Sophia.. just gimmicky and you sound like youre trying sooo hard, at least Ill give you credit for that : )

  • Ashlie

    uhhhh why the hell are you bagging her out for the “size two and curvy comment”? I think some of you have some basic comprehension issues– she is NOT implying that she thinks she is “curvy”, she’s making a comment about the fact that in hollywood it’s ridiculous that OTHER PEOPLE consider a size 2 to be “curvy”- as in her industry size zero is pretty much accepted as the norm these days…

    personally i think she is gorgeous and a perfect size for her naturally small frame and height, and seems to have a really good attitude toward health and fitness

  • Jane

    She has a rockin’ bods ever!!! This state by a straight girl. Love her and her personality.

  • meredith

    Sophia Bush seems like the sweetest person on the planet. She works hard to be healthy and no one should bring her down!
