“Try to be prettier”: Julianne Moore confides how her red hair made her vulnerable in her debut

As the actresses try to free themselves from the dictates imposed by the movie and beauty industries, they aren't shy about revealing the pressures they faced in their early days.

After Kate Winslet who suffered grossophobic remarks or even Jennifer Lopez who was advised to do botox at 20, it's Julianne Moore's turn to confide.

The actress explained to the

that in her early days, "someone in the middle [lui] had advised to try to be prettier".

To which she replied that she didn't know if she could.

"Objectively, I know that our industry is partly based on physical criteria, but beauty, and the perception of what we find pretty, remains subjective."

The one who won an Oscar for her role in

in 2014 also confided in the feeling of insecurity brought to her by her red hair.

“[They] made me feel like an outsider growing up.

Redheads make up 2% of the world's population.

Nobody wants to feel out of place, especially when you're a young child."

And even if this flamboyant hair is essential today as her signature, the actress has several times thought of dyeing herself blonde.

"Now I'm very identified with my hair and my freckles, but there's still a part of me that would rather be a tanned blonde."

And if she has not always been in agreement with her hair color, she knows today that it has also given her youthfulness, because she never exposes herself to the sun.

"I can't be in the sun for half an hour without burning.

I look like my mother and she told me "stay out of the sun".

She therefore never exposes herself without sunglasses, high UV protection and a hat.

“And that's what made the difference in preserving my skin.

But people don't want to hear it”, regretfully concludes the one who is the face of the makeup brand Hourglass with her daughter Liv.
