A line we might believe: "I'm just too beautiful to get any good jobs in waste management. Bosses take one look at my perfect face and they don't want to let it get sullied by garbage. Well, except this one guy who wanted me to suck on old banana peels and smear coffee grounds on my face, but he was weird." A line we do not believe: "I'm just too beautiful to get any good jobs in meaningful films. Directors won't even let me audition because they think I'm too pretty to handle tough roles." But according to Jessica Biel, people won't take her seriously cause she's so gosh dern purty. Us Weekly reports that she told Allure:
Yeah, it really is a problem. I have to be blunt. I'm in there with everybody else, fighting for the good parts. Yes, The Illusionist has made a difference — but a huge, massive difference, so I can pick and choose what I want? No. I just want an opportunity. If you don't like the audition, don't hire me!" she says. "But if you don't want to even see me — that's hurtful. And why? You know nothing about me!
Wait a minute here, this doesn't make sense. Half of Jessica's job is to look hot. There's a reason your neighbor with the goiter and the club foot isn't a huge film star even though she killed in her synagogue's performance of Fiddler on the Roof. So we think there might be a little more at work here than Jessica's looks. She thinks casting directors are looking at her head shot and saying, "Nah, too pretty." But really they're looking at her resume and saying, "The Rules of Attraction, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Blade: Trinity, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Uh, no thanks. See if Johansson's available."
