Fake Boobs Banned From Pirates
March 22, 2010 3 Comments
Disney not only discriminates against women with fake boobs but anyone who is above a size 6.
They are filming a new Pirates of the Caribbean with Johnny Depp and are being incredibly picky (discriminatory) about who they cast.
This was the description casting directors sent out to look for actresses:
“beautiful female fit models. Must be 5ft 7in-5ft 8in, size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body. Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants.”
And be warned if you do apply for the job and have fake boobs:
The film-makers warn that there will be a “show and tell” day with costume designers where potential actresses will be expected to run — a venerable Hollywood test to detect false breasts, which move less freely than the real thing during action sequences.
This is ludicrous! Not to mention probably against any discrimination laws. But of course they can get around that (probably) because of casting rules for specific looks in characters.
So does this mean fake boobs affect a woman’s acting skills? I think not.
Perhaps they think that all women with fake boobs look like trashy porn stars, but this is not so. Plenty of women look perfectly normal and still have implants.
And what about a woman who is a size 6 in clothing but just happens to be naturally well-endowed? It would be incredibly humiliating to have to jiggle in front of casting directors just to satisfy their desires.
Not to mention the fact that plenty of women who get fake boobs do it for reasons related to mental health and breast cancer.
It was also mentioned in this article that because of Keira Knightley’s lack of cleavage the posters advertising the first movies were digitally enhanced!
I’m sorry, Disney, but you have completely lost the plot on this one.






If the issue is the naturalness of the movement of the breasts during action scenes, I have to ask why Disney is so concerned. (Mick)
PS — Boom chicka, boom.
Man, employment based on little more than appearance must suck. I don’t know how models/actresses/etc do it. It seems like it would require steely resolve to prevent two things: a. eating, ever and b. punching casting directors/stylists in the balls/vulva.
I love your use of the word vulva!! If only more people knew how to use correct body language it would be great. So many insist on using vagina when it is completely wrong. (Madame X)
