Sarah Snook's experience in Hollywood was not always smooth sailing. The talented actress, known for her role as Siobhan Roy in the hit HBO drama Succession, recently opened up about a mortifying incident early in her career. She revealed that an unnamed film producer body shamed her for eating a small piece of cake during a production break.
The incident occurred after Sarah had landed the role and was told by the casting director to lose weight to improve her "marketability." Despite being told that she was "good for the role," the producer allegedly said, "We don't really want you because you're a nobody." He then went on to suggest that Sarah change her appearance to fit the Hollywood mold, with teeth whitening, hair darkening, and even a personal trainer to lose weight.
Feeling insecure and pressured to conform, Sarah followed the advice, thinking it was the only way to succeed in the industry. Looking back, she realizes that she was compromising her true self in order to fit someone else's standards of beauty and success. As she reflected on her early experiences in Hollywood, Sarah shared that she felt she had to be everything she wasn't in order to be successful.
Thankfully, Sarah's hard work and talent paid off when she landed the role of Shiv Roy in Succession in 2018. The role proved to be a game changer for the 36-year-old actress, who recently won a Golden Globe for her performance. In her acceptance speech, Sarah thanked her co-stars and the entire team behind the show, calling it a "team effort."
Looking back on her journey, Sarah hopes that her success in the award season is proving her naysayers wrong. She no longer feels like a "nobody" and is proud to showcase her talent as a successful actress. Despite her early struggles, Sarah has come a long way and is grateful for the opportunities that have come her way.
As she continues to make a name for herself in Hollywood, Sarah remains humble and focused on her craft. Whether she is attending award shows or filming for Succession, she is determined to stay true to herself and not let anyone dictate her worth based on her appearance. As she said in her Golden Globe speech, "This show, it's changed my life." And it's clear that Sarah Snook's star will only continue to rise.
