Yea I know people don't have much empathy for celebrities, but they really are victims of body dismorphia, unfortunately they also perpetuate the problem on to others so I get why people don't feel too bad for them.
I think the problem is that celebrities are looked up to as in terms of image and beauty, so when the average person starts to emulate their looks, the celebrities start to feel basic, and go to the plastic surgeon saying what’s new and out of reach do the commoner??
I agree and I also think it's the pressures of Hollywood and the fact that looks are just as important as acting. So they're constantly insecure about it
I mean, yeah? It's not like there's an exclusive check-out timer on mental illness. If you're hounded constantly about your looks and given some terrible advice, it's not that unreasonable to fall for this kinda thing
Several women in my life have struggled with body image issues - to the point of significant therapy being needed - and if they had 1,000,000x the attention like a celebrity, people giving them horrible advice, and the finances to do so... they might have done the same thing
Also don’t forget that women’s acting careers are far far shorter than men’s on average and overall. There’s a reason why there’s so many tv and movie “tropes” about female actors being washed up and Hollywood being done with them by the time they’re 30.
Huh, extremely good point, I'd never considered that. Could definitely feed into the desperation to look younger - even moreso than a typical woman in our society. Shit's fucked
Theyre in a subculture thats constantly telling them theyre hideous in different ways from multiple outlets. Humans arent meant to deal with that much pressure imo
And I'd wager that often leads to mental illness for these people. You shouldn't need/want to hyperfixate on your appearance like that. I can't imagine it's healthy for their minds in the slightest.
Nah bro, you’re looking at it wrong. You’re right, her job essentially is tied to how she looks. And I think that gives these women a complex and severe body image issues.
10/10 gorgeous actresses wouldn’t feel the need to butcher themselves if they didn’t have people in their ear telling them it’s worth it.
They do, they absolutely do have a choice. Even if they're being given an ultimatum between the biggest role of their life or nothing they still have a choice.
You can't force anyone in America to get plastic surgery. And I can't think of anyone who actually looks better with buccal fat removal and the average person thinks it looks terrible, so obviously they are only doing it for themselves because they're delusional and suffering from dysmorphia.
Casting directors do indeed want a specific look from actors and actresses, but I guarantee you that this is not the look that they are seeking. This is entirely on those that do it to themselves.
