The Body Image Problems in Hollywood
Today's episode is where we dive into the world of acting and Hollywood's ever-changing opinion on our bodies!
We discuss the struggles of body image from London to Los Angeles, and how that has affected each of us. We delve into the challenges actors face, from the pressure to undergo physical transformations for roles to the harsh realities of typecasting. We discuss the notion of being "too fat" to be anything more than an extra or relegated to the role of the "funny fat friend," and how actors like Emma Thompson challenge these stereotypes.
Join us as we shine a light on the realities of the acting world, one conversation at a time.
