Naomi Scott could barely leave bed during eczema flare ups

Aladdin star Naomi Scott’s eczema problems were so bad during her teens she found it hard to get out of bed at times.
The 26 year old is opening up about her battle with the chronic skin condition in the hope that other young women will look to her for inspiration.
“You know those days where you want to stay in bed, where you can’t move your neck because it’s so sore? I’m with you,” she told fans during a candid interview with Teen Vogue. “And I guarantee you, the more you own it, the more you feel confident… This is something I wanted to speak on specifically for this interview because Teen Vogue, for me, has a real no BS (no bulls**t) honesty thing.”
The actress believes her openness could help teens grappling with their own imperfections.
She adds, “If I, out of all people, am honest about my imperfections, then I might just make… I think of a 14-year-old girl and (how) it could make her feel just that bit better: ‘Oh, she has it and she plays Jasmine (in Aladdin)’.”
Scott also discussed her ethnicity, revealing it was difficult to find her place in Hollywood due to her Indian background.
“There’s a thing of someone (being) like… ‘She’s not white, she’s not black, she’s not Latina, what is she?’ There were definitely a few leads that I went for, where I think, ultimately, I was maybe ‘the other choice’, ‘the exotic choice’.”
Scott’s career is really taking off now, however – after Aladdin, she will star in the new Charlie’s Angels revamp, opposite Kristen Stewart and Ella Balinska.
