Elizabeth Taylor has revealed that she will never be as thin as modern Hollywood stars, as she refuses to sacrifice the things she enjoys.

The screen legend's weight has varied throughout her time in the spotlight, and although she does not see anything wrong with the current celebrity beauty standards she accepts that it is not for her.

Taylor told Harper's Bazaar: “I wish I could be that size, but I can’t be. I enjoy food too much. In the end, I’m too hedonistic. I enjoy pleasures.”

When asked who she aimed to impress with her appearance and wardrobe, the actress was clear about her motivations.

“Men first. Myself. Then other women. ’Cause you can’t please women. They are horribly critical of each other. And more so if you’re famous. Meow," she remarked.
