Brooke Hogan: ‘I’m not a size 2 and I never will be!’
January 30, 2010 in Beauty & Body Image, Brooke Hogan, Celebrity Quotes by Versus
Brooke Hogan has a bikini spread in Life & Style and it’s an untouched-by-Photoshop spread. Let’s see why she chose to go the unphotoshopped way:
Brooke wishes cameras hadn’t been there to capture her vacation in Miami over New Year’s. During the getaway, the bikini-clad singer was caught in a series of unflattering poses. “They took the photos from a bad angle, and I was hunched over,” Brooke, 21, tells Life & Style. But the 5-foot-11 reality star and singer is proud of her body — and says that heavy-handed photoshopping is to blame for unrealistic expectations. “Whoever invented Photoshop was a genius, but it sets a bad example for what ‘healthy’ is,” says Brooke.
That’s why she came to Life & Style to do a bikini shoot on Jan. 12 — with the agreement that the photos wouldn’t be retouched or altered in any way. So instead of relying on airbrushing, she’s proudly embracing her natural curves. “I’m not a size 2 and probably never will be,” she says. “That’s something I had to get out of my head a long time ago.”
Although she may never be a size 2, Brooke has recently managed to lose 15 pounds. And one person who thinks Brooke looks better than ever is her proud papa, Hulk Hogan. “Brooke is absolutely gorgeous and doesn’t need Photoshop,” Hulk tells Life & Style. “She’s been working her butt off.” Most important, she’s finally just plain happy with her figure. “I feel really confident and comfortable in my body,” she says. “I feel feminine. I even like myself naked in the mirror! There’s always room for improvement, but I really do love my body.”

Okay. That first picture reminds me of Sea World….
I think she looks great- toned, muscular and well, healthy.
Good for her for not feeling the need to be a size 2. Not all bodies are meant to fit into skinny jeans!
LOL your comment made me laugh… I agree with you though. As long as she is happy that is truly all that matters!
Sea World!!! xDDDD That’s too mean… but… xDDDD
lol. you’re right and funny at it too. but of course, sadly there are still some people who thinks everyone should be a size 2 or else they’re fat. and i know this cause my friends are that way. and they’re already a size 2 but still think they need to lose weight. and for someone with curves like me(i’m a size 5-6), i’m a fatso to them.
i like brooke’s body, very healthy and fit. and her breast implants looks more natural now. but what i find weird is, she’s supposedly stand at 5’11′ yet she looks i dunno, kinda shorter than that, perhaps cause i think her legs doesn’t look very long. or it could just be that she don’t look very tall like models does cause she’s not super lean. but yeah. lol.
hi! i just wanted to say that im sorry that ur friends think of you as “fat” being a size 5-6. its defenently not fat! just wanted to let you know, its not about the dress size, but the way a woman carries herself.
Hope you have better confidence now then you did when you wrote that post.
best wishes!
she look great to me!!!! fit and healthy! i like curvy. but look don’t let ur friends rule u man.
my friend that are size 2 and really thing dont’ get as much attention as i do and i am a size 9 now! ( im 5’7) and i live in mia so im a giant here trust me! its because i am proportionate and hour glass. its how u carry your self.
i can’t lie and say i dont wish to be thinner i do! iam working out but i dont focus oN SIZE cuz its varies so much depending on height and frame and muscle. ist how you LOOK. and im just losing weight working out and getting toned .
if you want to change do it FOR YOURSELF not other people. and remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder. and this is a perfect site to see that!
looks*
thin*
it’s*
( sorry my keyboard skips letters and the word checker puts retarded words lol)
LOL!!
Where did she lose 15 pounds? She looks pretty much the same to me. Otherwise- great attitude. Now she just needs to learn how to dress accurate for her figure…uhm…and for someone who doesn’t work nights….
Anna u hit the nail on the head…She does not know how to dress for her body shape, and that i feel makes her look larger than she actually is. I love brooke’s body. She got a nice stomach, nice strong thighs, and her body is weight is evenly distrubute throughout her body.
Hm… I really think her body is gorgeous. You don’t have to be super slim to have a beautiful body. Curves are feminine. =)
I agree with you. I like her figure and the attitude.
She looks great. I’m usually not a big fan of hers, but i love her in that first pic. (Could also be because I always encourage people to jump around when I take photos of them
)
she looks good
nice nice
I think the first pic is cutttteeee! Nevertheless Brooke has a medium/large body frame and people need to get over it!!!! Thus I agree with her she’s not a size 2 nor will she ever be. I just think people are always talking about her body because she’s so tall and she doesn’t look like a high fashion model. Not that I’m crying myself to sleep or anything but I’m 6 feet tall and I always felt like in High School people expected me to look like a model or something and thus people didn’t know how to deal with a girl being so tall and not being athletic or something. Enough with me being emo point is I hope she’s finally at peace with her body.
I’m with you Natasha. I’m 6 feet tall, too, and I always feel pressured to have a modelesque body (especially in high school) because I would feel enormous otherwise. I actually have a medium frame, so even though I’m don’t have to make much of an effort to be slim, I’m not naturally thin either and so it was hard for me to stay that way. I hope you’re at peace with your body now and I really appreciate that Brooke appears to be.
same. Im 5’11 and I feel unneccessary pressure to stay slim and fit the “modelesque” body frame or I feel like a huge water buffalo!
lmfao water buffalo that made my day and I was kind of having a bad one nevertheless you shouldn’t feel the need to look modelesque I’m sure you are aware of how much your supposed to weigh for your for your frame and just try to stay around that weight don’t be too hard on yourself people in high school can be so immature. Nevertheless nowadays I’m trying to slim down for my health and if I have an off day and have pizza or fast food who cares?
The best way to dress for your body type is decked out in confidence.
I like her sense.
She looks great …a good look for healthy women…
Ok, what does this girl do exactly? The only time she can get any attention is when she comes out and says “I’m proud of my body”. I don’t think I would be aware of her “music career” if Perez Hilton didn’t make fun of it for a while (he’s a jerk but his blog has so much stuff on it!) I mean obviously she’s famous for being Hulk Hogan’s daughter, but could she please stop doing these stupid articles+photoshoots?
Between the famous-for-nothing Kim K. and the famous-for-nothing Brooke Hogan, both should stop the “article+photoshoots”.
Kim K. says she loves her curves and what-not, but insists every single time that she fits into a size two. Now, I don’t know if she is lying or telling the truth, but I just don’t care anymore. I just wished she would stop announcing it.
Brooke Hogan has had her breasts augmented, which I suppose made her feel better. And now she is admitting that although she isn’t careless of her body, she won’t be a size two. I got to admit though, this is new and does put her in a better light than Kim K.
her body is nice, but her face is awful.
Oh I agree! It’s the Jessica Simpson type thing where her body is ok but her face is just very large! Brooke was cute when that Hogan show first started. Now she’s a little strong looking (in her face).
Also—I’m glad she’s proud she’s not a size two and admits she can never be that size! I’m in the same boat, I could be stick thin but my bones are just too big. I’ll never be smaller than a 4
I used to have problems and have run the gamut of sizes from 2 all the way to 12 and the absolute smallest I get and still look good is a size 8. I just have a large frame, big hips, big butt and big boobs and if I get much smaller than an 8, you can start to play xylophone(spell check) on my ribs. I’m currently a 10 or 12 depending on the brand and I couldn’t be happier.
Anyone noticed how often she wears this color ?
for some reason a lot of bleach blondes LOVE baby blue. 2 of my best friends that are bleach blonde love it. and baby pink. and they are not kids, theyre in their 20s. its the blonde thing lol
Im tired of these girls saying:Im not skinny and I will never be.Who freaking cares??
Me too. All these consonant celebs that have nothing more to do than posing in a bikini and talking of how happy they are with their curves and shape and so on are nothing more but annoying.
Get a life.
Yay! She looks healthy and really pretty here! I love it!
good for her. she is a thicker girl, but she looks healthy and like she’s done the best with the body she has. that said, i’m not a fan of her overall look. she looks too much like her dad for me
OMG! I just read she’s only 21!! She looks MUCH older than that!
Seriously? She is only 21??? Wow, I thought she was much older than that… Dang.
that’s because she cakes on the makeup and lays out in the sun constantly.
Good for her.. I really hope she truly believes in what she is saying. She has a healthy, strong body, and she SHOULD feel proud. She looks great. Kudos to her especially if she loves what she’s got
okay here is the deal… real talk… I am 5’11 n a half lol had to mention the half… and I weight 145lbs and I have people tell me every day of my life that I am too skinny!!! Then I tell them that I am not to skinny and that in fact I actually wear a size 8! They get shocked for a moment and then they always respond with the same comment… oh it is because you are sooo tall!
Same here I’m just shy of 5’11 and 140lbs and I get the same shit
PP. I’m bottom heavy, so when I wear tight stuff on top I’m skinny; tight on the bottom untoned and fat. GRRRr.
bodywise- I think she looks great.
she is clearly a tall girl with a large frame so of course she is not gonna be very slim.
we are all made different… I would love to be tall with a nice big frame like hers but I am the complete opposite.
I can’t say the same in regards to her clothes or makeup though.
Good for her, I think her body looks good, healthy and toned. Gives girls like me – who are not a size 0, but deff. NOT fat – believe in ourselves.
Wow, I didn’t know that she is 5’11″!
She doesn’t look 5’11 in these photos tho! I think its cause she has a very wide set frame so it helps her look much shorter. I would’ve guessed 5’9″ if I didnt know she was as tall as 5’11. My boyfriend is 5’11 but he looks shorter from a distance as well because he has a wide set solid frame – you cant tell how tall he is until he is up close to you and you are looking up! LOL. I think its the same with her.
I don’t like her body personally but I think it’s the best that she can have. She’s clearly very in shape, she just has a huge frame and that’s not her fault.
She is very good at making the best out of her body and that is to be admired. She is very toned, muscular and her body really looks healthy. She has absolutely no cellulite, there were quite a number of candid photos of her and her thighs are very thight, despite their size. So good for her for embracing her body and keeping it real.
Kim Kardashian needs to take some notes! At least Brooke is honest about who she really is. I actually do like Brooke – for some odd reason she interests me! It would be hard to be that tall btw, its hard for a girl to be that tall and normal sized cause you would seem to big even tho healthy.
I have the same body as Brooke except my boobs are real – in fact I’ve had a reduction. Guys like all types of womens bodies and, perhaps this is an American thing, but women tend to only strive to be one type. It took a long time to come to grips with the reality I will never be a size two… my experience is you often feel ungirly and self-conscious of your size.
Kudos to her for being comfortable in her own skin. I think she is a good role model for body image – healthy and in-shape.
What is her body type?
It’s cool that she posed without photoshop. It does give everyone unrealistic expectations. Her face looks exactly like her mom’s in the picture though!
if she isnt size two, what is jennifer love hewitt?!?!?!?
