Imogen Poots opens up about having an 'attitude problem'

Imogen Poots is not holding back when it comes to her views on Hollywood and the media industry.

She recalled being told by a director in front of an entire film crew that she had an “attitude problem” during a candid conversation with The Independent.

Looking back, the actress admitted that there was some truth to the comment, saying "bulls*** has always been pretty primed."

“I thought [his] idea was silly," the Baltimore star continued. "But he said that to me in front of a whole crowd of people, which was lame. He was a nice man, but we weren’t creatively right for one another at all, and it’s funny in hindsight how me not feeling comfortable or not understanding something warranted that comment. He was treating me like a kid. But at this point, I see it as a compliment. Yay for attitude problems."

Poots, known for her performances in 28 Weeks Later and All of You, went on to say that she’s always been aware of how things really work behind the scenes.

“People often assume I’m not aware of the trickery, but I’ve got big eyes. I see all the stuff,” she remarked.

Sharing her blunt take on the film industry, Poots described it as “an industry of absolute Looney Tunes parading as if they’re normal.”

The actress further said that it’s ironic how those same people “make movies about the real world and the human experience.”

Her new film Hedda hits select US theatres on October 22 before streaming on Amazon Prime Video on October 29.
