'It was ridiculous,' the 'Yellowjackets' star said.
And in a recent interview, Lynskey opened up about one of her earlier roles in a little movie called“But the scrutiny that was on Piper [Perabo], who’s one of the coolest, smartest women, just the way people were talking about her body, talking about her appearance, focusing on what she was eating. All the girls had this regimen they had to go on. It was ridiculous.
Lynskey went on to explain that there was “Really intense feedback about my physicality, my body, people doing my makeup and being like, ‘I’m just going to help you out by giving you a bit more of a jawline and stuff.’ Just the feedback was constantly like, ‘You’re not beautiful. You’re not beautiful.’”
Naturally, people came to Lynskey’s defense and wanted names. She clarified on Twitter that the costume designer she was referring to left the set early and was ultimately not credited for the film. “In your early 20s, so much of it is about beauty, and how people respond to you, and do people want to f*ck you? Do people think you’re their best friend? Even the best friend thing, I started to be like, ‘I don’t want to do that too many times,’” she said.about their trials and tribulations throughout their Hollywood careers.
Lynskey started to cry and went full mama bear when she answered “So much. I feel very protective. At the beginning of production, I sent them all an email, and I just was like, “Whatever you need, if you need a voice, if you need someone to go to the producers for you, whatever you need,” and they were kind of like, “Cool. Thanks.” They’re fine.”but that was quickly rectified when she and her co-stars stood up to the producers.
