In a recent interview, Emma Watson criticized the “impossible standard of beauty” that’s promoted in the media. “I’m not sure what this utopia is where everyone is the same, perfect-looking person,” she said. “But it’s not real. If you look at the most beautiful people in the world, they’re all different and unique. What I wish more people knew is that this idea of perfection is unattainable. It’s not real.” She also revealed that she struggled with body image issues growing up and felt immense pressure to maintain a certain look. “I think it’s really important to have a healthy relationship with yourself, to be kind to yourself and to know that you’re enough.”

Chris Pratt has openly talked about the pressure to maintain his physique for roles. In an Instagram post, he shared before-and-after photos from his transformations and wrote, “Six months no beer. #GOTG Kinda douchey to post this but my brother made me.” He revealed that he had to go on an extreme diet and exercise regimen to achieve his chiseled look for “Guardians of the Galaxy.”
Pratt also addressed the unrealistic expectations placed on men to look a certain way, saying, “You get on these diets, you have to eat insane amounts of protein, you can’t have carbs at certain times, you can’t drink water after a certain hour… It’s the stuff they make you do to look ‘perfect’ for a role.” He added, “It’s important for people to understand that it’s not sustainable, and it’s not something that’s easy to maintain.”
