Sarah Snook called a ‘nobody’ after being body-shamed on set. The Succession star told The Sunday Times that she was berated by an unnamed producer, early on in her career. After eating some chocolate cake on set, the producer told her off infront of her co-stars. “All the while I was dying inside.” Prior to the body shaming incident, after she had just landed the role, she recalls being told: “We don't really want you because you're a nobody, but the director and the writer think you're good for the role.” “So, what we'll do is change all of you so that you're marketable: we'll whiten your teeth, darken your hair, we'll give you a personal trainer so you can lose weight and look the part.” She said she went along with it because she thought: “In order for me to be successful, I have to be all the things that aren’t me.” Sarah just took home the Best Actress in TV Series award at the 2024 Golden Globes for her portrayal of political strategist and media heir Siobhan 'Shiv' Roy. She said in her acceptance speech, “This show, it's changed my life.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
