I’m not a celebrity, but I can’t sustainably gain weight. I don’t eat much (or at all) less compared to others who have larger bodies. I know this isn’t limited to male population, too. My sister has a similar body type and never had to restrict her caloric intake for this[0] (I just asked to be sure).
It would appear that the article briefly engaged in overgeneralization and propagation of the “you can’t be skinny unless you under-eat” myth.
[0] I’m sure it’s somewhat less of a problem for her than for me, as the weight gain issue applies to muscle mass as well and that stereotypically matters more for males. As a downside that affects us both, though, we sometimes experience an issue where inadvertently not eating enough—and this would still be more than a person on a diet might eat—can result in very unpleasant states with shakes and headache (probably low blood sugar or something like that).
