B-O-O, H-O-O.
Cameron Diaz doesn’t want you to hate her because she’s beautiful.
In an interview with Jeanne Wolf on movies.com, Diaz talked about the important, often overlooked social issue of prejudice against pretty people:
“If a woman who’s a successful actress weighs 300 pounds and has warts, nobody ever asks her, ‘Do you think you made it because you’re ugly?’ So why should there be prejudice against someone who’s had some success in films and looks a little better than average. It’s all in my genes, so don’t hold it against me.”
Don’t blame her because her parents made her pretty! She can’t help it! If it were up to her, she’d wear a damn paper bag all the time! And don’t blame all the make-up artists and hairdressers who she saw before every movie, talk show appearance and photoshoot she ever had! And don’t blame the lighting artists or the people who invented camera filters! They can’t help your genes! And don’t blame all the alcohol ever made either, all the beer out there who helped create beer goggles eveywhere! Lots of people wouldn’t be pretty without the beer goggles!
And I do have to ask this: when is the last time anyone saw a 300 pound actress with warts be successful, despite having more talent than Miss There’s Something About Mary here? Never, that’s when. Because newsflash to exactly no one: Hollywood is obsessed with the pretty pretty people. Even you, Cameron Diaz.
Cameron Diaz, Shrek 3, Pretty People, Hollywood, There’s Something About Marry, boo-hoo
