Imogen Faith Reid moves fans with emotional revelation about her physical struggle after TV success

Imogen Faith Reid, who plays Natalia Grace in the Disney+ series “Good American Family,” made an emotional revelation about her condition of dwarfism. Both Reid and Grace share the same condition.

In an interview with Pop Sugar, Imogen Faith Reid opened up about her challenges living with dwarfism. The actress portrayed Natalia Grace in the Disney+ series “Good American Family,” and the character also shares the same medical condition.

The series tells the story of Natalia Grace, a young Ukrainian girl adopted by American couple Kristine and Michael Barnett in 2010. At the time, the Barnetts suspected that Grace was actually an adult pretending to be a child.

The girl was accused of being a sociopath who wanted to kill her adoptive parents. Years later, it was proven that Natalia Grace was indeed seven years old in 2010. She had been kicked out of her home by the couple.

Imogen Faith Reid, like Natalia, has dwarfism, though she lives with a different form of the condition known as Russell-Silver syndrome. She spoke about her experiences in the Pop Sugar interview.

“Sometimes, even though I know I have dwarfism, people still make fun of my appearance. Depending on my mood that day, it can either affect me deeply or I simply brush it off,” she said.

She added that many people often see her as a child. “I think that happens because of the lack of awareness about dwarfism and the many types that exist, which people simply don’t know about.”

Imogen Faith Reid hopes the series will inspire people to seek more knowledge about dwarfism.

“I’m a very open person and I’d love to help you understand. Maybe you’ll leave the conversation with a new perspective on life,” she shared.
