"Supermen still dominate in Hollywood," the star admitted.
On October 17, the thriller "After the Hunt" starring 57-year-old movie star Julia Roberts will be released in theaters.
The actress plays the mentor and friend of a young female scholar who accused a fellow professor of sexual harassment. In an interview with The Sunday Times, Roberts admitted that it was very difficult to play this role, as the character in the film is her complete opposite.
Julia also expressed her outrage that the world around is misogynistic.
- In Hollywood, supermen still dominate. Often, I was the only woman at the table. I have fought against this situation for all 35 years of my career. I managed to break through because I was not afraid, - Roberts does not hide.
Earlier, in honor of the 35th anniversary of the release of the cult melodrama "Pretty Woman," film critics shared information not widely known to the general audience. 22-year-old Julia Roberts was not the main contender for the role of prostitute Vivian - the chances of Drew Barrymore and Winona Ryder were rated higher, but they turned out to be too young.
For the role of billionaire Edward, not only 40-year-old Richard Gere was considered, but also Sean Connery, Al Pacino, and Burt Reynolds. When asked why he declined to shoot, Reynolds replied: "Because I am an idiot."
- It was supposed to be a much darker film. Vivian was a drug addict, Edward threw her money on a side street and drove away, - Roberts recounts.
The film was supposed to be called "$3000." That was how much the rich man paid for the escort.
