How Nathalie Emmanuel Fought Hair Discrimination On Set
glamour.comalum Nathalie Emmanuel, who currently stars in The Invitation, spent her 20s fighting on set. Now 33, she’s made a big change—but there's "joy, defiance, and empowerment" in her new, cropped look.In my teens and 20s, I was already acting and started being in the public eye.
Suddenly I had to present myself a certain way and had the expectations of the world on me. I felt a bit overwhelmed. My mum was always like, "It's not about your appearance.
You are beautiful. You don't need anything. You're talented, you're smart, kind, funny." I could only be me at the end of the day.
But I was on a TV show in England called Hollyoaks, which was a teen show. A lot of students watched it and a lot of the women [in the cast] were very beautiful, glamorous.
