Zoe Saldana Won't Do Movies Where the Woman Is Just 'There to Make the Man Comfortable'
Pregnant Zoe Saldana wears a tight t-shirt to accentuate her big baby bump while visiting her parent’s house with hubby Marco Perego on Wednesday (October 29) in Sherman Oaks, Calif.
The 36-year-old actress recently discussed her process for picking roles in movies.
“I choose real women, in my mind. I feel like that’s different way of looking at it. In order for me to choose strong roles for women, that means that I’m noticing weakness�”and it’s not the weakness that I’m noticing,” Zoe told EW. “It’s an inaccurate interpretation, [a] portrayal of female characters in stories that I’m naturally against. I have, like, an allergic reaction to it.”
“The moment I read a story and I go, ‘Oh, OK, well, she’s serviceable. There’s nothing special that she’s contributing to the story besides just being there to make the man comfortable, soothe him, fight for him, die for him�”and he clearly doesn’t give a f–k about her, because he’s trying to find his own self.’ You kind of go, ‘Eh, no I don’t want to promote that anymore,” Zoe added. “I want to be a part of stories where women are important. It doesn’t have to be bigger roles; it doesn’t have to be action-driven.”
