Kat Dennings says casting directors called her 'fat' and not 'pretty enough' when she was 12: 'They're idiots'

Kat Dennings reflects on the harshness of Hollywood during her early years, describing a lack of inclusivity and the cruel feedback she received from casting directors, even as a child. "There was not a lot of inclusivity at all. It was very harsh. There was a lot of extremely negative feedback and people would not hold back," she stated, emphasizing the stark contrast with today's more supportive environment.

Despite the harsh criticisms she faced at a young age, Dennings maintains that they didn't break her spirit. "For some reason, it didn't break my spirit. I was like, 'I'll show them.' I guess props to my parents, because they were like, 'They're idiots. Don't listen to them.' And I was like, 'They're idiots, I'm not.'" This attitude helped her navigate the tough landscape of acting and maintain her confidence.
