Kristen Stewart Says Actresses Are Treated Like ‘Puppets’ in Hollywood
Kristen Stewart on Hollywood Industry: Veteran Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart has revealed many secrets about the industry. Find out what Kristen said about the status of women...
The treatment of actresses in Bollywood is a point of discussion, and many actresses have put forward their point of view regarding the same. But now, an actress of 'Twilight' fame, Kristen Stewart, has commented on the treatment of actresses in Hollywood. She also mentioned that actresses are being treated like puppets.
According to Variety, Kristen Stewart, speaking about the mistreatment of actresses in Hollywood, said, "Actresses are treated very badly in the industry. I have to tell you." People think anyone can become an actress, but when I sat down to discuss my film as a director for the first time, I thought, "Wow, this is a different experience. They're talking to me like I'm some genius." Reflecting on her recent directorial debut, the actress said, "The perception that directors possess supernatural abilities isn't true. This perception is perpetuated by men. It's not that I complain all the time, but it's worse for women than for men. They're treated like puppets, even though they're not."
This isn't the first time Kristen Stewart has expressed her opinion on the status of women in Hollywood. She said, "It's a common thing on set before acting starts. If actors can hide their weaknesses and behave like a gorilla, beating their chests before crying in front of the camera, it feels a little less embarrassing. It makes it feel like magic, like what you're doing is so impossible that no one else can do it." Men are glorified for maintaining self-confidence, while women are not.
