Eiza Gonzalez has missed out on movie roles because she’s “too pretty.”
The 34-year-old actress has suggested that her good looks have actually hurt her career, adding that Latinas are held to a different standard.
The brunette beauty told In style: ‘I remember being told for so many projects, “She’s too beautiful for the role. She’s too attractive for the role.” Then I would say: what is Margot Robbie? She’s the hottest, most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life!’
Unsure what to do with her appearance, Eiza considered shaving her head in an attempt to improve her prospects.
The Baby Driver star shared, “I’ve had an identity crisis for a really long time.”

The brunette beauty told InStyle: ‘I remember being told for so many projects, ‘She’s too pretty for the role. She’s too hot for the role.’ Then I would say: what is Margot Robbie? She’s the hottest, most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life!’
“I thought, ‘Am I shaving my head? Am I making myself less attractive? Am I making myself more attractive? Am I not dressing super hot or dressing super hot or covering myself up all the time?’ ‘
Meanwhile, Eiza previously called for greater representation of Latinas in the fashion and beauty industries after appearing in a campaign for Louis Vuitton.
The actress, who was born in Mexico City, told Vogue: “I grew up watching all these beauty campaigns in the 1990s and I didn’t see many Mexican women in them, especially in these large-scale brands.
“I was always kind of sold that I had to be a specific style of woman to be that, and the fact that girls in Mexico who are brown and Latina, like me, will see a campaign like this and recognize themselves in it with the De The size of the brand makes me so honored and happy.
‘It normalizes an image for people and makes people feel involved and seen.’

Eiza suffered an ‘identity crisis’ at one point in her career, with the actress admitting she considered shaving her head in a bid to boost her prospects. The Baby Driver star shared: ‘I had an identity crisis for a very long time’
“I thought, ‘Am I shaving my head? Am I making myself less attractive? Am I making myself more attractive? Am I not dressing super hot or dressing super hot or covering myself up all the time?’ ‘
The actress said that when she was a teen idol, she heard that her boyfriend had recorded an intimate video with another girl. She claims that, like everyone else, she learned of his infidelity through “the cover of a magazine.”
But it didn’t leave her in a mess. She decided to take the unfortunate situation and turn it into something positive. Since then, she found her greatest success.
The Mexico City resident reflected on the scandal, saying that as a young actress in Los Angeles she faced a mix of partying and crying.
So she worked tirelessly to distract herself from the failed relationship with her career.
While she was distraught and emotional, she revealed that her mother pushed her and made movements as she healed. When she updated her IMDB page and got a manager in the United States, the job offers started pouring in.
With 10 years of acting and drawing experience in Mexico at the time, she had the resume to back her up.
