Kate Moss has said that she suffered a nervous breakdown as a teenager and has opened up about the pressures she experienced as a young model.
In a rare interview for December's Vanity Fair magazine, Moss said she cried after being asked to model topless at 16.
"I see a 16-year-old now, and to ask her to take her clothes off would feel really weird," she said.
"But they were like, 'If you don't do it, then we're not going to book you again'. So I'd lock myself in the toilet and cry and then come out and do it. I never felt very comfortable about it."
Moss said she suffered a nervous breakdown when she was "17 or 18" and working on a campaign.
"It didn't feel like me at all," she said of the work. "I felt really bad about straddling this buff guy. I didn't like it. I couldn't get out of bed for two weeks. I thought I was going to die."
She continued: "It was just anxiety. Nobody takes care of you mentally. There's a massive pressure to do what you have to do."
Moss said that former boyfriend Johnny Depp helped her during their four-year relationship but said that when they split "years and years of crying" followed.
"I really lost that gauge of somebody I could trust," she said.
