A Mexican actress called Thalia – who is known for appearing in Filipino soap operas – has admitted the she removed some of her ribs in order to be skinnier.

She decided to come clean about her weight loss methodology when she was asked about it on a talk show last week. Without hesitating, Thalia came out with the rib story.

Soon afterwards she posted the video you can see below on her Instagram account, along with the message:

To all my loving Filipino fans, here is the proof I love (love) My Famous Ribs, I kept them with me all these years.

As you can clearly see, it appears that Thalia had her ribs removed and then kept them in a jar as a momento which is definitely a little weird. Of course there’s no proof that they’re her ribs, or even human ribs or that they even helped with her with her weight loss, but it’s freaky enough that it might just be true.

The things people do for fame huh? I guess it beats wearing a corset 23 hours a day to get skinny.
