Funny thing, when I was still living in Notting Hill, London, I so happened to have a gorgeous little petite girl on the treadmill next to me, before hearing loud grunts around the corner. It was Thor working out (was not small lol) and his tiny wife 😂 I also saw Stanley Tucci and many others there, fun spotting place.
Because it’s a movie. It’s not real life. People want to see hot people on screen, whether they admit it or not. It’s not a structural inequality thing, people just prefer to look at attractive people over unattractive people. That’s why hot women are in movies over less attractive women, and likewise for men.
But, again, people have tried to do this and it has failed. Take the original Gossip Girl for instance. ALL the characters are hot, even the parents (most of whom are like 14-17 years older than the teenagers). The 2021 reboot tried to be more realistic and cast people who were still hot but in a more relatable way, and people hated it. Same with many other shows.
