LONDON: Female actors are facing increasing pressure to strip off for “pornographic” television roles, British star Dominic West said.
He praised the #MeToo campaign against harassment but said treatment of women on the small screen has “taken a big step back” over the last 20 years in an interview with the Radio Times magazine published on Friday.
“Television … has become more pornographic and the burden of that falls squarely on young women,” he said.
“The parts young actresses get, particularly pretty ones, involve violent rape.”
His comments come after the #MeToo campaign last year which saw women came forward with a slew of allegations against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, and others, in a scandal that sparked a wider global debate over sexual abuse and harassment.
