Kat Dennings recalls criticism from casting director when she was a teenager

 Kat Dennings has dished on a criticism that she faced when she was only a teenager in Hollywood.

While chatting with People, the 2 Broke Girls actress candidly talked about her career in the industry.

She began by comparing Hollywood, at the time when she started her career to now, and said, "The time that I was auditioning and starting to act, it was a very different environment than it is now."

"There was not a lot of inclusivity at all. It was very harsh. There was a lot of extremely negative feedback and people would not hold back."

"It was pretty crazy thinking about it. I'm like, 'How can anyone say that about a little kid? This is insane,' For example, I was 12.”

Recalling her audition, Dennings continued, “I'd go into an audition and I'd do it, and my manager would call me and I'd be like, 'How'd it go?' And they'd be like.”

Moreover, the 38-year-old actress revealed the negative feedback she received, and went on to say, “'Well, they thought you weren't pretty enough and you're fat.'"

However, she appeared in the episode titled Hot Child in The City of the hit series S** And The City at the age of 13.

Before concluding, the Thor actress laughingly shared, "That was my attitude. For some reason, it didn't break my spirit. I was like, 'I'll show them,' I guess props to my parents, because they were like, 'They're idiots. Don't listen to them.' And I was like, 'They're idiots, I'm not.' "

Kat Dennings’ comedy series Shifting Gears has just been just released on January 08, 2025.
