Mischa Barton told PEOPLE magazine she will be playing a “bitchy” model on The CW pilot A Beautiful Life produced by Ashton Kutcher.
“Ashton developed it about his life growing up as a model from Iowa, so it’s about the whole fashion world that he was in, and obviously I have a lot of friends in the fashion world, so I’m used to being around a lot of people in that,” Barton told PEOPLE at a a GQ magazine-hosted party Thursday to celebrate new men’s fragrance Burberry the Beat.
According to Mischa, she plays a “a bitchy model-type character, like it’s a totally different character for me.” Mischa also touched on how she uses her official website and Twitter account to debunk rumors.
“Like right now I’m supposedly too skinny. I just had to release a comment about how I’m eating enough and I’m healthy.” Mischa said. “I’m more concerned for young girls these days … and I think it’s important that you say I’m comfortable and I’m fine and you should to be too because it’s, like, silly … You’re always too skinny or too fat or too something.”
Mischa says it also helps clear up misconceptions her fans may have about where she goes, who she is with, etc., while allowing her to show some of her personality by sharing her favorite music and books.
Last week, she broke the news of her breakup with The Kooks’ Luke Pritchard on her blog.
