Interesting.

For those who have been passed over because of the way they look. Interesting realisation by Dustin Hoffman when preparing for Tootsie.

I mostly love hearing actors talk about performing and Dustin is a very thoughtful actor. I thought his epiphany was very honest (and sadly true).

yeah, i watched that the other day and was trying to explain it to my husband. now he thinks i'm beautiful, which is awesome, after 28 years he still thinks that, sincerely.

but yeah, i'm not extraordinary or anything like that, i'm not Jenifer Aniston or whoever else is currently beautiful. but yeah, that's wild. do guys think that? well at least Dustin did prior to his realization.

it made me think of all my girl friends in real life and i never really look for beauty or whatever, just that they have things in common with me. or even my customers, i think they are all cool and attractive.

interesting for sure!

Hey,

That's lovely to hear about your husband. Mine is exactly the same. I'd say we are lucky to have those positive affirmations each day (I certainly know I am blessed by having him in my life). I chatted to my hubby about it too and whereas he says he wouldn't judge a person by the way they look he agrees that it does often occur - and more often than we probably think. For Dustin, I get the feeling that it was also a Hollywood thing. It felt like he'd made those judgements in his career - the film industry would be particularly brutal when it comes to looks. I think film Tootsie highlighted a lot of those issues also.
