Charlize Theron tells GQ that it's hard being gorgeous, and beautiful people usually get typecast to play stereotypical roles. They don't get the good stuff, basically. So she's saying that being beautiful is tough. What do you think?
“We live in a society where women wilt and men age like fine wine," she says. "And, for a long time, women accepted it. We were waiting for society to change, but now we’re taking leadership. It would be a lie to say there is less worry for women as they get older than there is for men ... It feels there’s this unrealistic standard of what a woman is supposed to look like when she’s over 40.”
She said:
"Jobs with real gravitas go to people that are physically right for them and that’s the end of the story," she says. "How many roles are out there for the gorgeous, f*cking gown-wearing eight-foot model? When meaty roles come through, I’ve been in the room and pretty people get turned away first.”“We live in a society where women wilt and men age like fine wine," she says.
