Eva Longoria Says She Landed Her Latest Director Job by Thinking Like a 'White Man'
, Eva told the publication that she walked in the room with a completely different mindset compared to her other jobs. She thought like a"white man."
Longoria recalled,"I was practicing pitching [for the job] with him and he said, 'Stop right there. Put on your male privilege pants and stopto do this movie. Walk in the room as if that movie's yours and you're directing it and tell them this is how you're going to cast it, this is how you're going to shoot it.'"
"And I thought, 'Oh my gosh, yeah! I'm not a man and I'm not white, so I wouldn't think to do that,'" she shared."It was a change in approach to every sentence that came out of my mouth.""Because as a woman, we want to be amenable. We want to be seen as cooperative," she noted.The actress and director has definitely come a long way, and remembers what it was like to go on those auditions early in her career.
"You don't have a choice when you're starting out. You need experience. You need to show people what you can do," she explained of how the process was for her in the beginning. "I had nine auditions and I was changing in my car, driving from audition to audition—as a nurse, then a hooker...," she added."I was changing, changing, changing, not thinking, 'I don't want to play a hooker!'"Fast forward to 2020, and the acting roles come to her.Flamin' Hot
