After Ariana Grande’s experience with body shaming, Ann Taylor-Joy garners support for the same issue. Being in the Hollywood industry demands more than just acting skills. It requires one to look perfect both on screen and off the screen. People with different features or with the slightest changes in body go under heavy scrutiny. This is especially common for female celebrities. While the issue has existed for a long, actresses are now speaking up on the forbidden issue.

Opening up about her struggles in 2016, Ann Taylor-Joy revealed to W magazine about suffering at the hands of her bullies. When the interviewer touched on the topic, she said, “I kind of stopped looking in mirrors for a very long time. Apart from her acting skills, the actress is known for her unique physical features. She has big beautiful eyes but would get bullied because they are far apart from each other.
