• A week without a bra. We have tried it and these are our conclusions
  • Once and for all: this is your bra size

It is not the first time that Sidney Sweeney, the actress who lives Cassey in 'Euphoria' talks about how her breasts negatively affect her life. Last year, in fact, she told the Washington Post that although she had felt empowered to appear naked in 'Euphoria', she had also insisted on hiding her chest in several scenes, because, "everyone is going to look at my boobs without appreciating the scene for what is happening,'" she explained to the journalist. Now, 'The Sun' publishes some statements of her according to which her exuberant bust would also be damaging her acting career. "I have big tits and I'm blonde. It's all people see." She has also said she is being "ostracized" because of the size of her breasts.

From Marilyn to Christina Hendricks, when the chest marks

It is not necessary to have an exceptional film culture to find cases in which a particularly voluptuous physique has marked the career of an actress, starting with Marilyn Monroe herself. In 1955 she took a pulse on Fox, which she won, because she was up to her nose to play a dumb blonde: "I'm tired of roles where I'm just a sex object. I wanted to broaden my sights as an actress. People have looks, you know?" he told a reporter.

In 2015, 'Modern Family' actress Ariel Winter underwent breast reduction surgery because of her back problems due to the weight of hers, but also because, she said, she was "fed up" with her cleavage being talked about. Other performers such as Scarlett Johansson or Drew Barrymore also chose to reduce the size of their chest at a certain point in their careers.

Christina Hendricks ('Mad Men') also felt harassed and disgusted by the exaggerated attention her bust deserved from the press and public. In 2012, during a promotional event for a brand of eyewear in Australia, the actress refused to answer the question of a journalist who referred to her with the expression 'full figured', which in English is used to call a woman full of curves. Later she would say that she had found it tremendously rude to address her in those terms. We stayed, and not for good, with a detail that is not at all: that it was a woman who referred to her like this ...

As María Bellmonte wrote in her recent report A week without a bra, the big chest is always a handicap: "Since I started working I have been used to men looking at my tits when I meet them from the front (of course, because I have no eyes on my back. No breasts). Although accustomed is not the word... Because the truth is that you do not get used to it, and in fact today I still find it uncomfortable. The number of times my boobs have looked at me first and then, as if urgently, my eyes! And he (because it's always him) with a look first as of surprise and then of guilt, in the plan "oh, that has escaped me". Come on, like when you have an aunt who sports a wart on her nose and comes to visit your house and your mother tells you: "Please, Maria, don't look at the wart at the aunt", and you... Well, that, impossible, your eyes go irremediably to the damn horrific lump. Well, the same, but in boobs. Bosses, colleagues, delivery people, messengers, strangers... as if abducted by my breasts. And that, wearing a bra." Well, Sidney Sweeney, the same, but on a planetary level.
