In a 2018 interview with The Irish Times, Maisie Williams slammed Hollywood for its fixation on physical appearance. According to her, the phenomenon has impacts on her career. She said, “It’s only now I’m starting to realise the characters that are available to me because of the way I look and the characters that aren’t available to me.” She elaborated on her concerns, explaining, “It’s a very shallow industry. And I don’t look like someone who is cast in roles that are, well, sexualised. Don’t get me wrong. I’m completely in awe of Hollywood’s leading ladies. I love looking at those totally jaw-droppingly beautiful women.” In her opinion, the industry’s standards are limiting and unfortunate. She added, “But I think it’s sad that you only get to see one type of beautiful on screen.”
This isn’t the only time Williams has spoken out about beauty standards. In April, she shared her candid thoughts in a cover story for Porter magazine. She revealed, “For the longest time, I was battling with wanting to look traditionally like what people picture as beautiful and I was getting really lost in that.” The actor decided to make a change. She shared, “Then, I cut my hair into a mullet and said, ‘Well, I’m not going to even try any more and I’m just gonna do something which I think really suits me and is still very different to everything I’ve been doing but feels right.'”
