PART 2 IS UP NOW!! and its better than the first, if I do say so myself 🤭
title: "Reimagining the Bombshell: Ugly Roles, Aging in Hollywood, & The Power of Fan Girls"

I feel like Sydney has the acting capabilities to be in a horror movie. The way she screams, the way she gets angry, the way she cries, it’s PERFECT for horror.

Sydney does feminine rage so well. I really hope she does a role that involves some type of crazy woman in history or literature.

This aged INCREDIBLY well.

I think this applies to women in music too. Lady Gaga and Doja Cat have been intentional about playing into being "ugly" to make their art be taken more seriously

This is the way Margot Robbie escaped the blonde bombshell trope.
Edit: I know this has been discussed in the video but I commented even before watching the video. It is something I often noticed. Many people think that actors who are very attractive are not good at acting.

Not just Margot in I, Tonya, her role in Mary Queen of Scots too. Tackling a historical drama is another facet which I think diversifies an actresses skills

I feel this is very true for Scarlett Johansson. She has a great potential for drama, but she built her whole career on being a blonde bombshell and even when she acts in dramatic roles it is seen as sexy (her voice acting in Her, for example). As a result, no one mentions her as a great award-worthy actress, even though she is. Marriage Story was the first movie in which I actually thought they toned down her looks to make her acting shine more.

Sydney's small role in The Handmaids Tale is still my favorite of hers. She clearly has the potential to play authentic and heartbreaking roles that have no ties to her body or her looks.

@mochixxmellow 2 years ago

Sydney is easily one of the best actors on Euphoria, only beat by Zendaya tbh, and people only talk about her breasts and it is so god damn frustrating. I also think that's why her character is so viscerally hated in season 2 even though she's clearly in an abusive relationship. Because she is first and foremost eye candy for the camera.

Coming back two years later asking for your updated take with all the controversy and the fact that she’s played “ugly” now

I’m from the future 😂 I DIDNT WORK

@peppermint9777 2 years ago

Charlize Theron really broke out of the "sexy" typecasting with Mad Max, where she is nearly bald, filthy, and not sexualised at all.

@lizzetvarillas5361 2 years ago

It's not about looking "ugly", but about playing complex characters and not taking off your clothes every 10 minutes.

@Vermouth88 2 years ago

If u think about it many actresses HAD TO BE nude at some point to become internationaly successful like Scarlett Johannson, Margot Robbie, Emilia Clarke, Sydney Sweeney etc. Hollywood sucks at this

@JasonsAccount15926 2 years ago

Amanda Seyfried is less well known in part because she has also been trying to avoid that bombshell trope since Mean Girls. I think she could probably get more roles and money plying bimbos but seems to take sort of weird ones instead

@sobekmania 2 years ago

Sydney Sweeney is a great actress, but she needs to be cast in a role that doesn't center on her looks. I've seen her in other films where her character is better explored, and she really does a great job. She has a lot of potential, and her next role needs to be something with value instead of just being eye candy.

@dra2521 2 years ago

Margot robbie and Charlize Theron are my favorite examples. Charlize in Monster in particular is shellshocking. Primarily because she cared SO MUCH about the authenticity and the story of her role.

Brie Larson's role as Ma in Room became her breakout role that rightfully got her numerous accolades after being in the industry for twenty-something years. While Larson wasn't a blonde bombshell, her role in the movie was "ugly", gritty, raw, and vulnerable. I felt that it finally got her recognized as a serious actor and opened doors for her in Hollywood.

Bruh i truly believe anyone can be attractive or 'ugly'. From either losing OR gaining weight, to outfit changes, to just getting enough sleep and resting well enough. I can go from looking like a crypt keeper to a bombshell. Its quite empowering
