Actress Evan Rachel Wood opened up about the uncomfortable experience she had during a photo shoot with Vanity Fair in 2003.

The 27-year-old 'Mildred Pierce' actress revealed she felt like meat while posing along with Amanda Bynes, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen, Mandy Moore, Hilary Duff, Alexis Bledel, Raven-Symone and Lindsay Lohan, reported Ace Showbiz.

Wood's tweets came after a fan named Katie posted on Twitter the Vanity Fair cover photo along with caption, "Never Forget."

The 'Charlie Countryman' actress firstly tweeted, "I was almost in tears after this shoot. They tried that dress on me, I wasn't comfortable but they told me there was no time cause everyone else took up too much time with their fittings."
 

She continued, "Then I was given a choice on whether I wanted to wear flats or heels. I chose flats and was immediately handed heels and told they looked better. Then we were all lined up, stared at and approved. I was 15 and felt for the first time my identity being erased and the pressure to shut up and do what you are told. I felt like meat. Since then, I have found my voice. Never again.
