Billie Eilish, the idolized singer of the youth, has been open about psychological issues and body insecurities with her fans. This has created a great deal of empathy between Billie Eilish and her fans. However, perhaps the most surprising revelation came recently when Eilish admitted that she used to be addicted to “dark” movies since the age of 11.

Billie Eilish stated that constantly watching “dark” movies during her teenage years changed the way her brain functions, and she even believes that this harmful habit “destroyed” her brain.

Eilish revealed that she started watching “dark” movies at the age of 11 because she didn’t know how to refuse harmful things. This bad habit caused her a lot of difficulties and obstacles when entering adulthood and starting to date.

Billie Eilish will turn 20 this Saturday. In an interview on American radio earlier this week, Eilish said, “I believe that ‘dark’ movies are something bad, terrible. But I used to watch a lot of ‘dark’ movies, to be honest. I started watching this harmful content when I was only 11 years old.”

At first, Eilish thought it was a cool thing to do, but as she gained more understanding, she reconsidered: “I think the bad habit I had destroyed my brain, making me feel depressed to the point where it’s hard to describe. I’ve watched too many ‘dark’ movies.”

I was even haunted by nightmares due to some of the violent and gruesome content I watched.”

Eilish didn’t attend traditional school like her peers but opted for homeschooling, a choice that her family and herself deemed fitting for her disposition. Eilish displayed musical talent early on and spent much of her time composing and recording. Indeed, she achieved remarkable success from a very young age.

She has won 7 Grammy Awards and is considered an idol of today’s American youth. Fans often refer to Eilish as the “queen of melancholy” because her songs often carry dark undertones in the lyrics.

In the song “Male Fantasy” from her second album “Happier Than Ever,” Eilish sings about being alone at home after a romantic relationship breakup and “escaping” by watching “dark” movies.

Eilish now admits feeling angry at herself for thinking that watching “dark” movies was normal: “As I grew older, I didn’t know how to reject harmful things. I thought it was what I needed to know and should be attracted to as an adult.”

In the music industry, Eilish still holds the record as the youngest artist in Grammy history to win all four major awards in one ceremony. In 2020, at the age of 18, Eilish took home Grammy’s for Best New Artist, Album, Record, and Song of the Year.

At the beginning of her career, Eilish always wore baggy clothes to prevent comments about her body. However, over time, Eilish has changed her style, sometimes appearing in sexy and provocative attire.

Eilish also shares that her immense fame sometimes makes her life feel out of control, especially in dating, where she finds it harder to connect with someone: “It’s hard to meet, get to know, and date someone when people always feel intimidated by you, when they always think you don’t belong in their world and class.”
