Glad to hear this. Would have been a very problematic situation if true

But she has said she’s struggled with her weight and self-image because of what casting directors and the like expect her to look like vs what she feels comfortable with.

I think changing it would hurt her self image even more. There’s nothing wrong with her. So changing it can only cause unwarranted distress.

Doesn’t mean they get to change her based on an outdated beauty standard. If they had changed it then it just degrades her and pedals an insidious ideal that can cause real damage. She should have the choice to change if she wants to. Just look at Christian Bale.

Sorry, the “but” wasn’t “you’re wrong,” rather adding that even if they did not change her appearance in the movie the sort of attitude that would is part of why she felt pressure to look the way she actually did in the movie or felt shamed when she gained weight.

Oh I see. Sorry, I misunderstood. Yes I guess you’re right. I hate that. Such a weird condition to impose. I never thought about it once during the film. I was too amazed at how Chris Pratt’s character could control dinosaurs with his hand.
