Scarlett Johansson
“Because I think everybody thought I was older and I’d been [acting] for a long time and then I got kind of pigeonholed into this weird hyper-sexualized thing,” she added. “It was like, that’s the kind of career you have. These are the roles you’ve played, and I was like, ‘This is it, I guess.'”
“To always be put on a pedestal as a hunk is slightly demeaning,” Kit said. “It really is, and it’s in the same way as it is for women. When an actor is seen only for her physical beauty, it can be quite offensive.”
3.
Jennifer Love Hewitt
The now-46-year-old actor remembered looking back on her career, and the uncomfortable situations she was put in because of the “image” Hollywood created for her, including men talking about her body right in front of her.

Jacob Elordi
But the premise of the films wasn’t the only thing that rubbed Jacob the wrong way. He was also “bothered” that he had to constantly remove his clothing on-screen. Below, you can see him talking about constantly being naked during an interview on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Danielle Fishel
Despite being 16 at the time of their conversation, the executive told her that he had a picture of her in his bedroom.

Richard Madden
“I read scripts where, within the first 15 pages, it says, ‘He gets into the shower…’” he told Vogue in a 2019 interview. “And I think, I know exactly what this is, it’s just a scene to get me to take my clothes off. And then I’m like, ‘Right, if you can fucking explain to me why it’s important that I have my shirt off, then I will absolutely do it. But if you can’t, which they often can’t, then I won’t.’”

Lastly, Mara Wilson
“One day, age 12, I made the mistake of looking myself up on the internet,” Mara wrote in an essay to the Guardian. “A website called Mr Cranky wrote that I was popping up in every movie these days because I would soon be entering ‘the awkward years, when she’ll be old enough to have breasts, but not old enough to show them legally.’ I folded my arms over my chest just reading that, and even as an adult it makes me shudder. Who did they think they were, talking about a preteen girl’s breasts?”
