It’s always dangerous to share opinions in the media, and Jessica Chastain found out the hard way how her words can be twisted.
In her interview with Glamour magazine, the “Help” star stated, “I love Meryl Streep. She’s such an incredible actress. But I feel like she’s the only one in her age group who gets those parts.”
Soon thereafter, Page Six weighed in with an article titled, “Jessica Chastain: Give anyone but Meryl Streep a Chance.”
From there, Jessica posted via WhoSay, “Page Six gets it terribly wrong. The headline is upsetting and against my thinking. I would never want to take roles away from a great actress.”
She continued, “My point has always been: Why can only one great actress of a certain age get roles in film? We need MORE roles in film for the many OTHER great actresses. It speaks to the lack of diversity in our industry.”
