Eiza Gonzalez missed out on movie roles because she’s “too pretty.”
The 34-year-old actress suggested that her beauty has actually hurt her career, adding that Latinas are held to different standards.
The beautiful brunette said In the style: “I remember being told for so many projects: ‘She’s too pretty for the role. She’s too sexy for the role.” Then I would just ask myself: What is Margot Robbie? She’s the sexiest, most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life!’
Eiza was unsure of what to do with her appearance and considered shaving her head in an attempt to improve her outlook.
The Baby Driver star shared, “I had an identity crisis for a really long time.”

The brunette beauty told InStyle: “I remember being told on so many projects, ‘She’s too pretty for the role.’ She’s too sexy for the role.” Then I would just ask myself: What is Margot Robbie? She’s the sexiest, most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life!’
“I was like, ‘Do I shave my head? Am I making myself less attractive? Do I make myself more attractive? Do I not dress very warmly or do I dress very warmly or do I cover up all the time?’
Meanwhile, Eiza previously called for greater representation of Latinas in the fashion and beauty industry, after appearing in a campaign for Louis Vuitton.
The actress – born in Mexico City – told Vogue: “I grew up watching all these beauty campaigns in the ’90s and I didn’t see a lot of Mexican women there, especially in these big brands.
“It’s always kind of convinced me that I have to be a specific style of woman to be that, and the fact that Mexican girls who are brown and Latina like me will see a campaign like this and relate to it with the magnitude of the brand makes me so honored and happy.
“It’s about normalizing an image for people and making them feel included and seen.”
She posed for the spring 2024 cover of In the style this month. The brunette beauty looked stunning in an all-gray ensemble.
She opted for a tight tank top that showed off her toned figure with trendy flowy pants. Her snake-shaped diamond necklace served as a sparkling centerpiece. And she added natural makeup with a bold red lip that made her pout pop.
During her interview, she talked about her love life. And Eiza admitted that after being cheated on, she now only dates men who have undergone therapy.

Eiza suffered an “identity crisis” at one point in her career, with the actress admitting she considered shaving her head in a bid to improve her outlook. The Baby Driver star shared: ‘I had an identity crisis for a very long time’
“I was like, ‘Do I shave my head? Am I making myself less attractive? Do I make myself more attractive? Do I not dress very warmly or do I dress very warmly or do I cover up all the time?’
The actress shared that when she was a teen idol, she learned that her boyfriend had recorded an intimate video with another girl. She claims to have learned of his infidelity “from the cover of a magazine”, like everyone else.
But that didn’t leave her in ruins. She decided to take this unfortunate situation and turn it into something positive. Since then, she has enjoyed her greatest success.
The Mexico City native reflected on the scandal, saying she faced a mix of partying and crying as a young actress in Los Angeles.
So she worked tirelessly to distract herself from the failed relationship with her career.
Although distraught and emotional, she revealed that her mother pushed her and made movements while she was healing. When she updated her IMDB page and found a manager in the United States, the jobs started flowing in.
With 10 years of experience in acting and signing in Mexico, she had a resume to back it up.
