Everyone thinks that being beautiful has no negatives, but as we’re hearing from those in the movie industry this is not the case. Halle Berry has recently come out and said that being beautiful hurt her credibility as an actress when she first started. She focused so much on choosing roles that didn’t rely on beauty strictly to show off her talent as an actress and give her credibility.
Recently, Halle stated that she had to beg Spike Lee for the role of a “crack ho” in Jungle Fever because of her beauty. It’s kind of amazing that she would have to do this considering her talent, but this kind of thing should open up the eyes of many that adversity doesn’t play favorites. Everyone faces adversity at some point in their life no matter their color, age or beauty.
