Zoe Saldana, 37 is an A List Hollywood actress who is nailing her career.
Saldana’s big break came in 2009 when she starred in the blockbuster movie, Avatar. But before her career hit it’s peak, the actress had one of the most slap in the face moments of her career.
“That story is true,” she told philly.com.
"A producer once told me he hired me for the way I held a gun while wearing panties, not for my opinions," she continued.
And while the head strong actress has pushed through that to work alongside female directors like Maya Forbes in Infinitely Polar Bear - who has a lot more respect for women - she wants to use it as a message for young girls.
"I wish I'd recorded it, so I could play it for every girl in elementary school and tell them never to let anybody treat them that way," she told philly.com.
Saldana has also been told to put on weight for her recent role in Infinitely Polar Bear - which is kind of ironic.
"[Forbes] wanted me to gain weight. I guess she wanted me to look more like a mother," Saldana told the Philadelphia publication.
She laughs about it because she became a mother (to twins) late last year - so that's where the irony is.
