The actress went on to explain that her drastic weight loss was for a role. “It’s just connected to my work…I’m very ready to change my body or change my appearance depending on my role,” she added, sternly mentioning that her skinny appearance had nothing to do with trying to satisfy any beauty standard.

Whenever, wherever, or however my appearance is, I am very satisfied with it. And I have my reason to be in that body shape. But I don’t think that’s very important for me…I wanted to focus on my role. That’s all.

This clear response has drawn a huge response from netizens who voiced their support and appreciation for her honest and fierce attitude toward body standards.

Lose weight, and they b*tch about it; gain weight, and they b*tch about that too. Being a female celebrity is seriously tough.

All this controversy just because she lost weight? It’s so exhausting dealing with all the chatter. People complain if you gain weight, and they complain if you lose it. Just leave her alone, for crying out loud.
