Sophie Turner, Jennifer Lawrence, and Other Stars Who’ve Been Asked to Lose Weight for Roles

At 21, Sophie Turner hasn't been in Hollywood for long, but she's already learned some of the pitfalls of her industry. For a cover story in Porter magazine, the Game of Thrones star opened up about being asked to lose weight for a role. "There are often times when I have done jobs and they’ve told me that I have to lose weight, even when it has nothing to do with the character. It is so f***ed up," she said. She shared plenty of insight into how casting in 2017 works, admitting that she once beat out a "far better" actress for a role because she has millions of followers on social media. "It's not right, but it is part of the movie industry now," she said.
