The Girl On the Train star Emily Blunt opened up when the topic of conversation touched on double-standards regarding gender portrayals in the film industry!!!

Find out what and how Emily Blunt feels about Hollywood’s Gender Double-Standards…

CelebNMusic247.com has this interesting story on Emily Blunt who discussed the double standards she believes exist in Hollywood when it comes to how men and woman are portrayed.

Blunt spoke about her role in ‘The Girl On the Train’, and what it taught her about double-standards regarding gender portrayals in the film industry.

She tells HR:

“With so many movies, women are held to what a man considers a feminine ideal.”

“You have to be pretty. You have to be ‘likable,’ which is my least favourite word in the industry. Rachel isn’t ‘likeable.’ What does that mean? To be witty and pretty and hold it together and be there for the guy? And he can just be a total drip?”

The 33-year-old actress also believes this permeates into wider society:

“A woman is a drunk, a whore, whereas the guy’s like a partier, a player. I’ve been around both women who drink too much and guys who drink too much and it’s just as ugly on the guys. It makes me crazy. I don’t think that women should be seen as any less sexual than a guy. And maybe she doesn’t want to settle down, and that’s OK. And maybe she doesn’t want a kid, and that’s okay. And she’s just happy playing the field. There’s so much judgment with women.”

In regards to The Girl On the Train, Emily Blunt talks about the generally unglamorous character she portrays and whether she was concerned about not looking glamorous

“I was so liberated by it… we went all the way, in every aspect that we could, of trying to make her look like an alcoholic. That’s not the same as rough, I think there’s a lot of people who can hold it together, and I think she was one of these girls who could hold it together for a long time, and that excess and consumption does start to show.”

We agree with Blunt. You can’t always look pretty onscreen. We all have ugly days, its human. Flawed, imperfections of wrong but right moments in life makes us who we are.

The Girl On the Train hits theaters on October 5th, 2016.
