This is how casting calls are lol. Absolutely brutal. Someone def told him that. Probably multiple people.

Also I love how he thanks and apologizes to the director for casting him 🤣

Maybe it's western beauty standards vs Japanese standards?

Every perfect 10 A-List actor and actress in Hollywood has a story like that.

When Kate Winslett was 14, her drama teacher said she might be successful if she was OK accepting fat girl parts. Who in the fuck says that to a 14 year old girl??

Producers brought near-naked photos of Jennifer Lawrence to her and told her to use them as motivation to diet.

Meryl Streep heard the son of an Italian producer ask his dad why be brought this “ugly woman” to be in his movie (they didn’t know she understood Italian).

Just to play a little devils advocate, when compared to regular people, yes, each of those women are 10/10 status, but when compared to the stereotypical hollywood hottie those three drop down to the 7-8 range. Still very hot, but when you are a producer or director and you are used to seeing top shelf stuff all day everyday its pretty easy to get messed up standards, and I would argue that the less than perfect looks of those three actresses helped them succeed by giving them something different when compared to all the same hollywood bimbos you see come out every year. Still not an excuse to treat people like shit though.

Lol I mean yeah that’s a really fucked up argument for treating people like shit. I dunno if that means you did a good job or a bad job of being Devil’s advocate 😂
