Rosamund Pikeis speaking her mind about what it means to be “well.”
The Oscar-nominated actress, 44, opened up about how the modernwellnessindustry has led people astray.
Pike was speaking about her new BBC audio dramaPeople Who Knew Me,which features gentle ribbing ofGwyneth Paltrow’s wellness and lifestyle companyGoop.
The British actress expanded on her feelings about the ubiquitous industry.
“Yet it’s so seductive because it’s in pursuit of things that people are ashamed to want, like youth, beauty and fitness.#MeToogave women an opportunity to escape some of the demands put on them.
In the interview, Pike also spoke about the quality of roles for women over 40.
Pike has spoken before about societal beauty standards. As a guest onThe Kelly Clarkson Showin 2021, she talked about noticingher body being photoshoppedfor different movie posters.
“For the poster forJohnny English [Reborn], my breasts were augmented,” Pike told Clarkson of the 2011 comedy. “In the poster for the character shot, I’ve got a really impressive chest. Which I don’t have.”
Pike also recalled the time she noticed that her eyes were photoshopped to look brown, instead of her natural blue, for 2019’sRadioactiveposter. “I still don’t quite know why,” she said.
She went on to say that the most unsettling realization about those situations is that there may have been many other times she didn’t notice her photos being doctored.
“Those are the obvious times, right? When you do notice, ‘Oh, I’ve got brown eyes,’ or, ‘I’ve got massive breasts.’ But there’s probably countless times where our image is doctored and we don’t notice it,” she said. “Because I think we’re all losing our grip on what we really look like.”
