Jessica Alba hasn't had it easy

Posted at 18:12 on 16 June, 2007

Prepare to shed a tear for Jessica Alba - she had a tough start to life: collapsed lungs, pneumonia, OCD and more.

Alba's early life was marked by a multitude of physical maladies; she suffered collapsed lungs twice, had pneumonia 4 to 5 times a year, a burst appendix, a cyst on her tonsils, and asthma.[citation needed] She has also acknowledged suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder during childhood. This served to isolate her from other children at school because, as she says, she was in the hospital so often that no one knew her well enough to befriend her.
