Actress
Jessica
Chastain
may
be
called
gorgeous
today,
but
during
her
school
days
she
was
labelled
"ugly".
The
"Zero
Dark
Thirty" star
opened
up
about
bullying
during
her
childhood
in
a
candid
interview
with
Glamour
magazine
in
their
November
issue.
"I
was
told
every
day
at
school
that
I
was
ugly.
And
that
no
one
wanted
to
be
my
friend.
The
most
cruel
things," she
said
in
an
interview
with
the
magazine.
"If
I
can
do
anything
to
help
young
girls
and
to
be
a
cheerleader
for
people
who
sometimes
have
low
self-esteem,
I
want
to
do
that,"
the
37-year-old
added.
Jessica
has
3
big
releases
this
Fall,
‘Interstellar,'
‘The
Disappearance
of
Eleanor
Rigby:
Them,' and
‘A
Most
Violent
Year.'
Talking
about
lead
roles,
Jessica
said
Glamour,
"When
I
play
a
female
lead,
like
the
role
in
Zero
Dark
Thirty,
even
if
she's
strong,
I
try
to
give
her
as
many
flaws
as
I
can.
I
think
to
play
a
female
hero
without
faults
is
actually
doing
a
disservice
to
women.
I
think
it's
more
interesting
to
see
women
on-screen
with
flaws.
Then
it's
not
this
unreasonable
expectation
that
society
then
would
put
on
you:
‘Well,
a
strong
women
can't
be
like
this....'"
While
talking
about
her
favourite
stars
in
Hollywood,
Jessica
Chastain
said,
"I'm
really,
really
supportive
of
women
in
Hollywood.
I
love
Meryl
Streep.
She's
such
an
incredible
actress.
But
I
feel
like
she's
the
only
one
in
her
age
group
who
gets
those
parts.
I'd
like
to
see
Jessica
Lange
in
a
movie
again,
you
know?
Or
Susan
Sarandon.
Why
isn't
Viola
Davis
a
lead
in
a
film?
She's
one
of
the
greatest
actresses
alive.
And
where
are
the
Asian
actors
and
actresses?
I'm
not
saying,
‘We
don't
want
movies
about
men.'
I'm
just
saying,
‘Come
on,
all
the
men
I
know
love
women.
So
let's
also
have
some
stories
about
these
women.
Let's
write
something
for
them,
guys-and
let's
make
room
for
women
writers
too.'"
Explaining
why
she
doesn't
talk
about
her
personal
life,
Jessica
said,
"I
think
it's
important
not
to
talk
about
it.
In
the
future
I
will.
If
everything
continues
on
a
path,
of
course
it'll
be
part
of
the
conversation.
But
until
it
gets
there,
I
don't
want
to
put
any
unexpected
pressure
on
something
that
is
so
personal
and
so
precious.
It's
too
delicate
right
now."
