Zoe Saldana: Star Trek phaser on stun for 'big-bellied old Hollywood producers'
Star Trek actress Zoe Saldana has slammed "big-bellied Hollywood producers with comb-overs" who give actresses a hard time.
The 34-year-old, who is about to return to the big screen as Uhura, told magazine InStyle UK: “I’ve been told by producers, ‘we need to get on this because you’re not getting any younger…’
"Women are reminded of their age all the time and it’s usually by a fricking fat, big-bellied old man with a comb-over and you look at him and you’re like: 'Really? Give me a break. You just have more money and more power in this situation than I do, but not in my life'.
“I’m tired of watching these 50-year-old actors with these 23-year-old actresses and they’re soulmates in the movie. What? (In real life) a 23 year old would look at a 50 year old and go: ‘Are you kidding me?’”
