Current Events > Sansa, JLaw, Robbie, Kloss admit: 'Studios ORDERED us 2 lose weight for roles.'

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's always sad to hear tales like this. I wish out industry was better.

Millions of women in America are fat and/or ugly and do plenty well for themselves in life.

If a guy was told to bulk up or work out for no other reason than appearance none of you would think twice about it. But since there are women involved some of you feel the need to put on your champion shoes and cry foul.

If I got paid half of what they do, I'd lose weight and do it with a smile on my face.

Remember this the next time you complain about something stupid happening at your job

If your job consists of selling your body contractually, then it probably wouldn't be the worst thing for you to lose some weight.

There's nothing weird about that concept at all.

They need to get on Bale's level (Pay special attention to the years):

The Dark Knight Rises is the only film where I liked Bale as Batman because it was the only time he looked and acted like someone who could genuinely kick your ass. In the first two films, he's just a whiny pretty boy.

How do you 'sell your body' by looking grossly underweight for no particular reason

It sounds like you're conflating looking below what is considered "normal" weight with looking anorexic. I can't recall the last time I saw a Hollywood movie with a female character looking unhealthily skinny where that wasn't a plotpoint.

Honestly just seems like you're bodyshaming women for looking good.

Y'all are just some of the most bitter people out there. There's literally a 100 percent overlap between the people who don't understand why asking tiny, gorgeous people to lose more weight for no reason and creating the perception that even they are still fat is a bad thing and the resident anti-feminist brigade. I guess this is just one more battle in the culture wars, huh?

If you have a problem with men being forced to bulk or cut excessively for roles, oppose that, don't use it as a weapon when someone else complains about it.

I don't think it makes sense to take contextless quotes at face value or to listen and believe. Do you see any a-list actresses who look like Margo Robbie minus 20 pounds?

It's also not healthy when studios force actors to use steroids because they need to gain 20 lbs of muscle while maintaining body fat under 15% and they only have 3-4 months to do so. Guess what if you know anything about bodybuilding and anabolics you know it's not biologically possible. It's part of the game.

Cry me a river, build yourself a bridge, and go troll under it. I'm tired of your white knighting patheticness.

No one is forcing these actors to accept these roles. Who gives a flying fuck if it's not healthy? Just like athletes sacrifice their bodies and risk injury to win championships, actors have to sacrifice to play these roles. If they don't like it they should get a women's studies degree and work at Starbuck's.

Oh this some bullshit, I'm sure men have to lose weight and gain muscle to fit the "superhero" type. Nobody wants a fat Superman.

This is art, you should look like what the creator pictures. It's like complaining that you have to wear make-up.

I don't pay too much attention to Hollywood. Have any of these women been within a country mile of being fat even one day of their lives? And please, don't say yes without pictorial evidence.

Also, you realize losing weight when you're already thin as fuck is on the unhealthy side, right? Whereas working out... isn't?

Are you concerned with their health, or the amount of value placed on their looks?

Find me one picture of these actresses looking unhealthy. Either from a movie, or just an everyday pic. Just one picture where they look so skinny you have actual concern for their health.

I am worried about the icons women have to look up to, yes. It's this way in gaming books and movies. But also these girls look much smaller then the white girls I know irl. Plus recent Angelina Jolie pics aren't worrisome...

They're not being asked to fill superhero roles.

So? Men have to lose weight just like Women if they wanna be in movies. The only exception is fat funny guys and now women are getting into that as well.

Melissa McCarthy alone shatters that narrative. There's a big list of successful plus sized actresses. Plus that's conjecture on your part, no actress is told to be skinny their entire career. They voluntarily take these role knowing they have to lose weight, get the fuck out with this victim shit. They make millions to lose weight and fill roles.

If you want to go for the top roles in your industry for which you get paid millions, the producers will want you to appeal the broadest because millions are also spent on them. There are "lower leagues" of film making, of stage acting, of Hollywood productions, of indie productions. Lower standards for a lower pay.

Nobody is telling you to go for the fucking cream of the crop and then cry that the standards are high.

stfu you white knight

Charlize Theron got fat for roles before. Also how is that even an argument? Women have ONE job! Maintain low body fat.

Men have to be scrawny, chubby, average, or buff whenever the role calls for it with far more range. Once again women have it embarrassingly easy compared to men and STILL complain

No you bigot. Don't EVER try to hold a woman to any type of standard. Holding women to any type of standard is misogynist hatred!

because for the last goddamn time, this is about how it's stupid for already skinny women to have to lose even more weight for a non-specific character role.

They voluntarily sign the contract and get paid MILLIONS to lose that weight and preform the role, so who gives a fuck? Same goes for actors and actresses.

Lol you are an absolute goofball. There are instances where both men and women have to maintain weight for a specific character role but that's besides the point, because for the last goddamn time, this is about how it's stupid for already skinny women to have to lose even more weight for a non-specific character role. It doesn't create appeal. It accomplishes nothing besides potentially creating unhealthy habits. I'm probably wasting energy typing this because you'll just think anyone who tries to spell this out for you is a white knight or feminazi.

You are being a white knight though.

These women don't need to take these roles. They're paid millions of dollars to perform, and look a certain way.

Don't you feel stupid buying into this crap that margot actually cares? Don't you question whether or not this is real, or just a ploy to generate female and white knight fans? "Omg the told me to lose weight i hate it so much, but im still gonna do it, and continue to do it" get a grip, these people don't give a fuck about having to lose weight, they're just complaining for an article.

Margot, had she actually given one fuck at all about this whole situation could step away and not work with these directors or agents. She has enough money to live the rest of her life fine. She could go school and become a doctor, or a lawyer, or even become a womens activist. She's not gonna do anything, because this is a buncha bullshit. She's gonna stay skinny and keep making millions while you and other losers cry about how it's not fair they're asked to do something for their job.

It's almost like people can complain about something while realizing the risks of dropping the career completely. When you complain about stupid shit that happens at your job, is your first thought "fuck this, I'm quitting and finding a different career"? No, because the situation isn't that black-and-white, right? So I don't even know why you came up with that stupid response (especially when that was already explained over earlier itt)

The rest of your post is just lol r/incel nonsense. Wonder how your reaction would be if this article was about skinny guys having to lose weight. No doubt it'd be a lot different (my point would still remain tho)

You seem to not understand. They. Don't. Need. To. Take. The. Role.

This isn't like me at my job, where my livelihood depends on it. Someone like Jlaw or Margot can find work in their field with directors who dont ask them to lose weight if they really wanted too.

I don't even know what r/incel is, but whatever you say man.

If the article was about skinny dudes, i'd say the same thing. Stfu and go do what you're paid to do. It's stupid of you to even make that assumption. Hollywood actors that complain are low.

Most everyone in most every job has some sort of bs they have to deal with. They are alot less likely to get sympathy at the pay they make. They just have a bigger voice and when they complain it's gonna be seen by alot more people.

I'd put up with alot of bull for millions of dollars. Drastic weight loss and gain is unhealthy sure but I am pretty sure most the health issues can be resolved once they get to a better weight. They have a decent complaint but in the eyes of many it's not one worth any sympathy.
