Charlize Theron Says It’s Hard to Land Roles Because She’s Gorgeous
Charlize Theron says Hollywood is a tough place for beautiful people who want to work.
In the upcoming May issue of British GQ magazine, Charlize claims that pretty people are the first to get turned down in the casting room.
She asked, “How many roles are out there for the gorgeous, f—ing, gown-wearing eight-foot model? When meaty roles come through, I’ve been in the room and pretty people get turned away first.”
She also said she’s turning 40 in August and women don’t get to age like fine wine the way men do. She added, “We live in a society where women wilt. It feels there’s this unrealistic standard of what a woman is supposed to look like when she’s over 40.”
