Sarah Snook recalls being body-shamed and told she was a ‘nobody’<\/p>\n
The ‘Succession’ actress – who just landed her second Golden Globe and second Critics Choice Award for her portrayal of Shiv Roy in the HBO drama series – has recalled the uncomfortable moment on an unnamed project when she was blasted in front of the entire cast and crew.<\/p>\n
She told the Sunday Times magazine: “One particular day, I had the tiniest bit of chocolate cake.”<\/p>\n
A costume designer intervened and told Sarah to keep eating.<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cAnd all the while I am dying inside…<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe infantilising of women, to not be able to make their own decisions, why would we do that to women?\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhen she went for the job, the 36-year-old star was told she was a “nobody” and ordered to overhaul her appearance.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201c[The casting agency told me] ‘We don\u2019t really want you because you\u2019re a nobody, but the director and the writer think you\u2019re good for the role. So what we\u2019ll do is change all of you so that you\u2019re marketable: we\u2019ll whiten your teeth, darken your hair, we\u2019ll give you a personal trainer so you can lose weight and look the part.’<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIn order for me to be successful I have to be all the things that aren\u2019t me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nOne of Sarah’s early roles came as a prisoner of war in a TV movie and she recalled feeling insulted when she was told she had “got hot” as a result of losing weight – but felt it ws something she needed to maintain as a result.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cRealistically for the role I had to lose a bunch of weight. And then I remember this guy going, \u2018Oh, when did you get hot?\u2019…<\/p>\n
\n“[I saw that as] Well, I wasn\u2019t hot before. So I must have been disgusting. Therefore I must maintain this shape at all costs, and I\u2019m only worthwhile as an object in the eyes of another person by being a shape that is appreciable to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
