Eiza González told how she handled rejection in Hollywood at the beginning of her career
The Mexican actress confessed that being underestimated at the beginning of her career in the United States gave her the freedom to perfect her skills without pressure.
After more than a decade making her way in the United States film industry, Eiza González has established herself as one of the most important Latin faces in Hollywood.
With participation in more than 20 productions in English—such as “Baby Driver,” “I Care a Lot,” and the series “The 3 Body Problem”—the actress starred in the most recent cover of Vogue magazine, a space where she opened up about the tough obstacles, criticism, and constant rejection she faced in the beginning after deciding to start from scratch outside of Mexico.
In the conversation with the magazine, González shared a deep reflection on how he managed to change his perception due to the lack of recognition at the beginning of his career.
"Over time I understood that being overlooked was actually a superpower. Because when no one is looking, you have the opportunity to work in silence, to develop your craft, to build something solid without depending on external validation," she explained.
Although being underestimated resulted in emotionally devastating moments, the actress claims that these experiences forced her to delve deeper into her identity and strength.
Over the years, he had to deal with constant external judgments about his abilities. “I have been judged on whether I was talented enough, pretty enough, or suitable enough for something,” she confessed.
However, he highlighted that factors such as passion, discipline, perseverance and heart are attributes that no one can measure from the outside, and they were precisely those that defined his career.
Aware of his current position, González carefully evaluates each character he accepts, always taking care of the representation of the Latin community and maintaining a strong bond with his roots. His current goal goes beyond accumulating important roles; seeks to open doors so that more Latin talent finds fair spaces in the US industry.
