Comfortable - 50 People 1 Question_  by [Eliza Berman](https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/)  ## Eliza Berman Berman is a senior editor at TIME. Nov 5, 2014 4:13 PM UTC  by [Eliza Berman](https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/)  ## Eliza Berman Berman is a senior editor at TIME. Nov 5, 2014 4:13 PM UTC We’ve grown accustomed, thanks to Dove, to videos in which people reveal their insecurities only discover that they’re actually beautiful just as they are. And despite their feel-good intentions, many of these videos leave viewers questioning their impact: They [reinforce](http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/04/beauty-above-all-else-doves-viral-ad-problem.html) the importance of physical beauty, some say, and sometimes lack diversity in the body types they present. A new video, “Comfortable: 50 People 1 Question,” continues the “[You Don’t Know You’re Beautiful](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJO3ROT-A4E)” trend, although this time it’s a PSA from a non-profit rather than an advertisement masked as a PSA. (Though, to be fair, it is sponsored by a skincare company.) In the video, adults and children are asked what they would change about their bodies, if they could only change one thing. Not surprisingly, the adults answer immediately, having trouble picking just one. The kids, on the other hand, have to think a bit harder, and their answers are imaginative and uncorrupted, aiming to enhance their existing bodies with fantastical superpowers rather than dismantle the bodies they have. It’s not earth-shattering, but it’s a useful reminder to tap into that childlike positivity when you’re less than thrilled with what you see in the mirror. ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] Thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me. Alright, let's do this. Scene zero take one. Mark. So we've got one question that we wanna ask you today. Okay well. What's that question? The question is. If you could change one thing about your body, what would it be? Only one? I would change my forehead. I have a really big forehead. I'd like to be taller. The puffiness of my face. My ears. I have big ears. Stretch marks after having a baby. A lot of times like kids would make fun of me. Like hey man you got big ears, you got Dumbo over there you know. Definitely my skin because I have dealt with acne and exema issues ever since I was a little kid. [ FOREIGN ]. Growing up like a lot of people called me five head or like your foreheads so big they would always like say something to me about it. When I was younger I felt like I wasn't quite adequate enough. [ MUSIC ] Can you sit on the chair? No. [ MUSIC ] Alright I'm gonna ask you one question. What's the question? If you could change one thing about your body, what would you change? Hm. Hm. [ MUSIC ] You know have a mermaid tail. Having like a shark mouth. So I could eat a lot of stuff. I could have teleportation in my body. Extra pointy ears. I want legs like a cheetah so I can run faster like a cheetah. I could have wings, so I could fly. I don't think there's anything to change. I like my body, actually. Yeah, you wouldn't change anything? Nothing else. Just [ UNKNOWN ] [ LAUGH ] [ MUSIC ] A lot of people obsess about getting older and about the wrinkles [ MUSIC ] I love my white hair. I loved it when it started turning white. It's one of those things cuz I've chose to stay this way because it just wouldn't be me if I totally changed the way I look. Hey guys, thank you so much for watching the video, we hope you enjoyed it. We want to give a bit shout out to iNature Skincare for sponsoring the film. Make sure you check out their link below. We wanted to make this film because these days it's so easy to be insecure about our body and our appearance [ UNKNOWN ] and we were just wanted to make a film that really encourages to be comfortable and confident in your own skin. For more film from Jubilee Project please make sure and subscribe. Otherwise, thanks. Chip your love. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3558383/video-adults-kids-change-bodies-question/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3558383/video-adults-kids-change-bodies-question/"},"headline":"This Is How Adults and Kids Respond to the Same Question About Changing Their Bodies","datePublished":"2014-11-05T16:13:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-01T09:01:59.040Z","description":"“Probably like a shark mouth, so I could eat a lot of stuff”","url":"https://time.com/3558383/video-adults-kids-change-bodies-question/","keywords":["Living","Body Image","beauty","dove","psa"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3532160a21a091b5/6987643ce53aba6f154d568a/screen-shot-2014-11-05-at-11-07-58-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3532160a21a091b5/6987643ce53aba6f154d568a/screen-shot-2014-11-05-at-11-07-58-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-11-05 at 11.07.58 AM","caption":"","creditText":"YouTube","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3558383/video-adults-kids-change-bodies-question/","name":"This Is How Adults and Kids Respond to the Same Question About Changing Their Bodies"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Comfortable - 50 People 1 Question","description":"Comfortable - 50 People 1 Question","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/IXZST9q4/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-11-05T21:27:17.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/IXZST9q4.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3558383/video-adults-kids-change-bodies-question/","duration":"PT4M13S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3558383/video-adults-kids-change-bodies-question/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
