Dennis Quaid has hopped right onto Teri Hatcher's confessional bandwagon, telling a fitness magazine of his shameful struggle in the mid 90s with male anorexia, Page Six reports:

Dennis Quaid confesses in the new issue of Best Life that he battled "manorexia" in the mid-'90s. After losing 40 pounds to play Doc Holliday in "Wyatt Earp," Quaid says, "My arms were so skinny that I couldn't pull myself out of a pool. I'd look in the mirror and still see a 180-pound guy, even though I was 138 pounds." Quaid, now fit and elegant on the mag's cover, says, "for many years, I was obsessed about what I was eating, how many calories it had, and how much exercise I'd have to do."

Quaid doesn't get into specifics about how he maintained his "manorexic" frame or, for that matter, if his eating disorders also included the tell-tale "heaving-in-the-men's-bathroom" sounds associated with "boylemia". Still, body dysmorphia in males remains exceedingly rare, and it's difficult to say where the source lies in this case. It could have been something as simple as Quaid's then-wife Meg Ryan, whose own physical self-loathing was kicking into high gear around that time and who was always envious of how great he looked in a bathing suit, leaning over in bed and whispering the word "fat, fat, fat" into her husband's ear for several hours after he fell asleep each night.
