Charlize Theron slams Hollywood for double standards

Charlize Theron has taken a bold dig at the film industry for having double standards.

The Oscar winning actress has claimed that “guys will get a free ride” in Hollywood.

In conversation with New York Times, the actress said, “it’s harder. That’s known. Action films with female leads don’t get green lit as much as the ones with male leads.”.

“When women do this and the movie maybe doesn’t hit fully, they don’t necessarily get a chance again.”, she added.

Talking about her upcoming project with Uma Thurman, Charlize said that she is very aware of the pressure it has on them.

“It’s not a risk that studios want to take, but they’ll take it many times on the same guy who might have a string of action movies that did not do so well.”, she said.

Charlize has been vocal about the mistreatment of women in the film industry as she has famously called out a director, who she does not want to name, for harassing her.
