Romola Garai, Tatler Magazine [United Kingdom] (July 2011)<\/figcaption><\/figure>Having browsed through this week’s Radio Times in the agency today, we stumbled across an enlightening interview with the gorgeously curvy actress Romola Garai.<\/p>\n

Although glad to read she rightly criticises Hollywood’s obsession with weight, we were sad to discover that the 30-year-old’s “very normal size 10” figure has caused her problems in a career that’s seen her land parts in Amazing Grace, Atonement and Glorious 39, and TV series Emma and The Hour.
\n
\nSpeaking to the Radio Times<\/a>, the size 10 blonde said: “My weight was a very big issue when I started. I was then – and am now – a very normal size 10. But that’s not acceptable. Everyone’s aware of it.<\/p>\n

“It’s partly because fashion, film and television have become so interdependent. Increasingly, it’s actresses doing the big fashion advertising campaigns and now there’s no distinction between actresses and models.<\/p>\n

“There’s no way I could ring up a company that was lending me a red-carpet dress and say ‘do you have it in a 10?’ Because all the press samples are an 8 – I would say a ‘small 8’. If you want the profile, you have to lose the weight,” she revealed.<\/p>\n

Romola, who as well as acting has modelled for numerous shoots and magazine covers including Teen Vogue and Tatler, went on to explain that when she does dabble in modelling<\/a>, she’s disappointed when the final shots are subjected to heavy airbrushing.<\/p>\n

“It’s difficult because if I refuse to do any magazines at all, my work, I think, would suffer in a very immediate way,” she said. “But when I appear in these magazines, I know I’m being ‘trimmed’, I’m being airbrushed a lot.<\/p>\n

“And I know that people are accepting those images and are under the impression that that is really how my body looks, that I’m hairless and sexless and weigh 90lbs. That really worries me. And I really don’t know what to do, except talk about it.”<\/p>\n

Talent Management, a model agency<\/a> that supports real and diverse beauty, couldn\u2019t agree more – by Romola talking openly about airbrushing, body size and even having hair, we think she’s promoting great body confidence and we certainly feel better about ourselves after reading her interview!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
