From the outside looking in, Ashley Benson is on top of the world. The stunning Pretty Little Liars [1] actress has a successful career and an awesome girl squad [2], but she recently shared intimate details about Hollywood's pressure to maintain a slim figure in an interview for her March Health magazine cover story [3].

"I get told all the time to lose weight. I got that a month ago. It's just weird," Ashley told Health. But Ashley has remained true to herself despite the pressures from Hollywood. "I'm just sitting here like, 'Wait, what? Do you want a skeleton?' But I feel good. I don't want to lose 20 pounds, because I don't need to."

And while she claims her body-confidence strategy is a work in progress, Ashley is all about acceptance — even though she doesn't hesitate to throw on a pair of Spanx every now and then. As for her go-to workout move [4], Benson says squats give her the biggest results. Keep scrolling for a glimpse at her gorgeous spread in the magazine on stands now.
