Phoebe Dynevor is calling out a sexist and ageist dual criterion in Hollywood.
The “Younger” outbreak celebrity, 28, kept in mind there are extra functions for “older women” actresses and “young men” however not women celebrities her age. The buzzy “Bridgerton” alum informed The Night Criterion that to fix this and develop functions for herself, she is aiming to create.
“I have read some great scripts recently. And yeah, I probably shouldn’t be saying this, but there is still, like, not that many parts going,” Dynevor claimed. “There is such a space for male actors…There are so many of them. And they’re all great. They’re all very talented young men, and they do not stop working, and good for them. But you know, when I think about the girls my age…There’s way more room for them and there is still not enough room for us.”
The “Fair Play” celebrity included, “It’s a really good time for older women, which is amazing and there’s a lot for these young men, but not a lot for the actresses that I know in my age bracket.”
While Dynevor led novice attribute filmmaker Chloe Domont’s sexual thriller that had a document bargain at Sundance 2023 to land at Netflix, the starlet is currently aiming to assist “create” components that are “missing” for twentysomethings in the present Hollywood landscape.
“I eventually want to produce,” Dynevor claimed. “I would like to create the material that I feel is missing. I don’t know when that will be, but it’s a dream of mine.”
As Dynevor laments remaining in her late 20s (she’s 28), “Feud: Capote Vs. the Swans” starlet Naomi Watts just recently praised just how the trend is changing in the market to take even more functions for older females.
“I was told, ‘You better get a lot done because it’s all over at 40 when you become unfuckable,’” Watts remembered to Amusement Weekly of her very early occupation. “And I’m like, ‘What? What does that mean exactly?’ Then you think about it, and you go, ‘Oh, right. When you are no longer reproductive, when those organs are no longer functioning, you are not sexy, so, therefore, you are not hirable.’ That just made me so mad.”
