"how on earth are we gonna make her attractive?" This was said of Kate Beckinsale. Like, there are many reasons that I don't find myself attractive and a comment like this is one of the reasons. She was gorgeous in Pearl Harbour.

"Emma Thompson said that she almost quit the 2008 movie Brideshead Revisited after her female costar was asked to lose weight." This was said of Hayley Atwell.

Which dick said that to Chloe? You're in your twenties, you shouldn't date her period!

[sarahvma]

The Brideshead thing was especially ridiculous because it was partway through filming and they’d already cast her so what… she was supposed to lose weight halfway through the shoot and ruin continuity?

[sarahvma]

Obviously not saying that she should’ve been asked to lose weight beforehand either, just that it proves it has nothing to do with the look of the film and everything to do with wielding power.

i think the michael bay experience permanently fucked with both kate beckinsale and megan fox's perception of themselves. i was young so i don't remember the exact timeline but there was a point where kate wouldn't step out the house until a glam squad had turned her into la barbie and megan started messing with her face pretty soon after transformers

and michael bay looks like that...what a fuckng cretin

[patenipat]

Kate is still such a babe, I hope she's not always that dolled up b/c of the bad experiences she had. It does seem like she puts so much effort in her looks.

Not Kate Beckinsale what the fuck
Hayley is gorgeous too

"how on earth are we gonna make her attractive?" This was said of Kate Beckinsale.

Whoever said that must of have been on crack.. she's one of the classically prettiest actresses to ever be on screen.

[rihaty]

It's implied Michael Bay said that at the source. And yeah, not that it should be said to anyone but to say that about Kate of all people is truly wild.
