Melanie Lynskey revealed in a new interview that she was body-shamed on set of 'Yellowjackets' and she competed with Christina Ricci for roles in the 90s.
“I was the person who was sort of just sitting there while everyone was excited about somebody prettier,” Lynskey said of Winslet. “She was very confident, she found it very easy to do interviews. And it was hard for me. I was so shy.”
“It’s hard to have a dream come true and do this thing that feels so special and amazing and then have to just go back to your pretty small town,” she said. “I felt like an impostor.” In the same interview, the 44-year-old actor recalled the enduring criticism she has faced as a woman in Hollywood regarding her body and sex appeal. She recalled the difficult audition process for"Ever After," explaining, “It was the mid-90s and there was a look that was popular and it wasn’t this chubby, dark-haired New Zealander.”Ann Summa / Getty Images
“I was very unwell for a long time,” the"Don't Look Up" star said. “I had eating issues and at a certain point I was like, ‘I’m not going to survive’ — not like I was on death’s door or anything, but I was so unhappy and my hair was falling out.”
