She has been open and honest about the struggle she has faced, but there are still some things that even diehard Lovato addicts do not know about her. You’ll get to know some of them at the end of this article.
Aliens:
When it comes to spooky things, a lot of people are afraid of the unknown, so they avoided it at all costs. But Demi is the complete opposite. She’s actually a huge fan of the paranormal. So it’s really no surprise that the singer and actress is obsessed with life on other planets.
In an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Demi and the hosts got into a conversation about aliens. She said she knows for a fact that aliens are real. She also said: “We as humans would have to be really self-centered to believe we are the only living things in the universe.”
Demi think there may be a government conspiracy to cover-up the existence of aliens. But she also thinks there’s a cover-up going on to hide truth about mermaids. Demi cited Christopher Columbus’s journal as proof that mermaids are swimming underneath our oceans.
After watching a documentary on television, she said she believes there may be mermaids living in the Indian Ocean. She’s absolutely convinced that there are human-like species just like Disney’s Ariel living under the scene. We love that Demi is able to speak her mind about any subject. She doesn’t care if people look at her strange or call her weird and that’s what makes her so lovable.
X-Factor:
When she was brought on as a judge and mentor on X-Factor, her fans were so excited to see her on their television screens. But her moment in the limelight was difficult for her. She joined the show shortly after battling with personal issues and an eating disorder.
Demi admitted that she jumped into the gig way too soon. Looking back, she didn’t think that she was really ready to join such a popular show and be back in the spotlight. She decided to walk away from the program back in 2013. Demi later said she almost went to rehab again while filming the show because of her eating disorder.
Beauty Queen:
Before appearing on Barney & Friends alongside Selena Gomez back in 2002, Demi was living her life as a beauty queen. She contested for the title of Miss Texas from 2000 until 2001. Her beauty pageant days opened up many doors for her in the entertainment industry. But she blames the pageant world for a lot of insecurities she still struggles with today.
Being on stage and being judged for her beauty let her down a dangerous path which included binge eating. When she was just nine years old she tried hard to look perfect and skinny for the judges so that she could take home the crown, but she resorted to unhealthy eating habits at such a young age.
Favourite actor:
Demi Lovato was well known for her days as a Disney star and her favourite actor Jake Gyllenhaal who appeared in the 2010 film Prince of Persia (The Sands of Time). Jake played the role of Prince Soston in the 2010 Disney fantasy adventure film. But Demi admitted she’s not a huge fan of acting.

She said Jake is her favourite actor because he’s pretty good to look at. We have to admit she is right. How awesome would it be to see Demi and Jake co-star in a romantic comedy together! We think their chemistry would be off the charts. The entertainment industry needs to get to work to make this happen.
Favourite Singer: Even though she has some pretty amazing songs of her own, Demi is still a fan of other artists in the industry. One of her favourite singers is none other than the first American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson. Growing up, Demi was such a huge fan of Kelly that she even used ‘Little Kelly’ as her AOL screen name.
The two were finally able to meet and now they share a very close bond. Demi received the shock of her life and the best birthday gift ever when Kelly performed a rendition of her song ‘Cool for the Summer’ during one of her concerts. Having her favourite idol sing one of her songs was such an amazing moment for Demi that she even shared her excitement on Twitter with all of her followers.
Sad Times:
Playing the role of Mitchie Torres in the Cap Rock films was like a dream come true for Demi Lovato. But being a part of the movie only brought more of her insecurities to the surface. Having to financially support her family and deal with her day-to-day life caused her to self-medicate to handle all the stress.
She admitted in an interview that her life was moving so fast that she didn’t even think she would make it through the age of 21. We’re so glad she was able to address her problems and kick her addictions right in the butt.
Favourite food: We all have guilty pleasures and Demi is no different. Even though people expect her to look flawless when she hits the stage, she likes to indulge in some unhealthy treats from time to time.
She revealed that when it comes to her favourite dessert, she just can’t get enough of cookie dough ice cream. But she doesn’t eat the ice cream in the typical way.
Demi goes through and eats all the cookie dough and leaves the ice cream behind. It’s safe to assume the singer has a major sweet tooth aside from cookie dough ice cream. She revealed her favourite food is chocolate chip cookies.
