As you say, you find somebody attractive? F****** great. Have a Coke and a smile and get on with it. There\u2019s some people that I look at that I find attractive. And isn\u2019t that OK?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDespite this, Aidan believes that male objectification is distinctly different to female objectification.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe shared: &#8220;It probably feels different than it would for a woman, certainly.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Some women might feel there\u2019s a danger that comes with it. I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m in danger. If a woman is objectified and she has men leering at her, that quickly becomes a different situation to one that I might be in, even if the situation can be read as similar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAidan also believes that people want him to feel angered by the objectification.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I just don\u2019t know how to answer it any more. Because I don\u2019t know what people want me to say. I feel like people are disappointed in the answer. I think they want me to feel p***** off and objectified. And I don\u2019t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Aidan believes that the entertainment industry is changing for the better.<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, he thinks there is still room for improvement in terms of representation and gender equality.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I think there are efforts being made. Is there enough being done? Probably not. But if you\u2019re asking if I\u2019m seeing change, I suppose I am, on a smaller level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/aidan-turner-hates-talking-sex-symbol-status-1382129.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16 July 2023 Aidan Turner finds it &#8220;difficult&#8221; to talk about his sex symbol status.
