In the realm of Hollywood, it’s no secret that there’s a prevalence of unrealistic and detrimental beauty standards to which many celebrities are consistently subjected.
From being thin yet curvy to concealing their gray hairs and having flawless skin, it seems like few people are able to check all the boxes.
For many, not doing so comes with the hefty price of social media criticism and reduced work opportunities.
Despite this, some celebrities have chosen to challenge society's expectations, calling out those who object to their decision to celebrate their physical appearance.
Below, Bored Panda presents a list of 21 stars who have called BS on Hollywood’s absurd aesthetic norms.
#21 Ashley Benson
When Ashley was told she wasn’t slim enough for a role, she spent some time weeping. And then she stopped caring.
"I was just told I was too fat for a part," she shared in Ocean Drive, "I'm a size 2! I cried for 30 minutes, but then you have to let it roll off your shoulders or it could cause a serious eating disorder.”
The Spring Breakers star said that these comments aren’t infrequent in showbusiness, and “a lot of people in this industry hear they need to lose weight more times than they should.”
After seeing that a magazine had published an edited photo of her with flawless skin, she felt like she needed to show what she really looked like to her followers, which prompted her to share a “zit cream selfie.”
"I hate to think that girls are like, 'She's so skinny! Her skin is so perfect!' I have pimples just like they do.”
