15 Actors Who Refused To Change Their Looks For Roles

1.

In 2023, Jenna Ortega told Harper’s Bazaar, “As a child actor, there are two jobs that you can get: you’re either the younger version of someone or you’re playing somebody’s daughter – and there were just not many leading Hispanic actors who I could be that for. So a lot of the jobs that I was going for growing up would never work out, because I didn’t look [a certain] way. That was really hard, to hear that something you couldn’t change was what was preventing you [from succeeding]…I wanted to dye my hair blonde so that I would look like Cinderella.”

In 2024, Joel Kim Booster told Vulture, “[In an Instagram Stories Q&A] someone straight up asked me, ‘When you get famous, are you gonna fix your teeth?’ It was the first time someone had clocked me for having bad teeth. At that point in my career, I didn’t necessarily have the means to address it. My response was simply, ‘No.’ And I internalized that response to such a degree in the years since that, as I’ve become more and more successful, I sort of put off addressing any dental work.”

At the start of her career, Sophia Loren was often advised to alter her appearance. In 2014, she told The Hollywood Reporter, “I always tried not to listen to these people. They were saying that my nose was too long and my mouth was too big. It didn’t hurt me at all because when I believe in something, it’s like war. It’s a battle. But even Carlo [Ponti, my husband] said, ‘You know the cameramen, they say that your nose is too long. Maybe you have to touch it a little bit.’ And I said, ‘Listen, I don’t want to touch nothing on my face because I like my face. If I have to change my nose, I am going back to Pozzuoli.'”

And finally, in 2015, Halle Berry told Yahoo Beauty that she feels pressured to get cosmetic work done. She said, “It is pressure. When you see everybody around you doing it, you have those moments when you think, ‘To stay alive in this business, do I need to do the same thing?’ I won’t lie and tell you that those things don’t cross my mind, because somebody is always suggesting it to me. ‘You know, if you just did a little bit of this and that, lift this up, then this would be a little bit better.’ It’s almost like crack that people are trying to push on you. That’s what I feel like.”
