The Grammy and Oscar winner who uses they/them pronouns — revealed that they went under the knife as a teenager during early struggles with being obese.

“For me, it was always my weight,” Smith, 33, shared in the latest episode of the “Podcrushed” podcast . “My weight as a kid was the hardest thing for me in school, and weirdly the thing I probably got teased the most about.”

They told host Penn Badgley : “I had surgery on my chest when I was 13 years old because I had a growing chest. There was all sorts of reasons why, but mainly that I was just getting so teased. I couldn’t go swimming in school, and getting changed in the locker room was hell. So I got liposuction when I was 13 years old.”
