Tatiana maslany, Canadian actress

Los Angeles, Nov 15 Actress Emily Blunt during a recent interview rejected the term strong female character and said she's "bored" of getting scripts where her character is labeled a "strong female lead.""It's the worst thing ever when you open a script and read the words 'strong female lead,'" Blunt told The Telegraph (via IndieWire), reports 'Variety'."That makes me roll my eyes. I'm already out. I'm bored. Those roles are written as incredibly stoic, you spend the whole time acting tough and saying tough things."Blunt said that her latest character, Cornelia on the western revenge series 'The English', is far "more surprising" than what the simplified "strong female lead" label describes."She's innocent without being naive and that makes her a force to be reckoned with," the actor added."The English" stars Blunt as a frontier woman hellbent on avenging the death of her son. Cornelia partners with an indigenous farmer named Eli (Chaske Spencer), who is also on a mission of revenge in order to reclaim his land."I love a character with a secret," Blunt said. "And I loved Cornelia's buoyancy, her hopefulness, her guilelessness... She startles Eli out of his silence and their differences become irrelevant because they need each other to survive. I thought that was very cool."Blunt joins a growing list of female actors who have spoken out against the "strong female lead" label. "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" actor Tatiana Maslany told The Guardian in August that it's "frustrating" for roles to be reduced to that one "strong" trait."It's reductive," Maslany added. "It's just as much a shaving off of all the nuances, and just as much of a trope. It's a box that nobody fits into. Even the phrase is frustrating. It's as if we're supposed to be grateful that we get to be that."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
