Jennifer Connelly, a well-known actress in Hollywood, has recently discussed the pressure that actors face to take on sexualized roles in order to prove themselves in the industry.
In an interview with The Sun, Connelly explained that this pressure is particularly challenging for actors who are transitioning from child stardom to adult roles.
Connelly, who started acting at the age of 10, stated that this transition can be difficult due to the expectation to take on more mature parts.
She also discussed her personal struggles with body image and feeling comfortable in her own skin, saying that it was not until after the birth of her first child that she began to feel more confident in herself.
Despite these challenges, Connelly emphasized that she still has a passion for acting and will take on the right roles when they come her way.
However, she admitted to feeling nervous about whether or not she will be good enough for these roles.
In addition to discussing the pressure to take on sexualized roles, Connelly also talked about her experience as a child actress and how it has affected her career.

It was not until the birth of her first child that Connelly began to feel more confident in herself and her abilities as an actress.
She explained that becoming happier in her own skin was key to her success and that this process happens at different times for different women.
Despite these challenges, Connelly has had a successful career in Hollywood, starring in numerous films and television shows.
She is also a mother to three children – Kai, Stellan, and Agnes – with her husband of 11 years, Paul Bettany.
In her interview with The Sun, Connelly also spoke about the importance of finding the right roles and how they can help to reinvigorate an actor’s passion for the craft.
