Jameela Jamil reveals why she turned down role of deaf woman
Jameela Jamil has revealed she turned down the role of a deaf woman because she did not want to deprive a disabled actress of a job.

[Jameela Jamil said,] “I said it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to take that role and they should find a brilliant deaf woman to play that role. I think you have to make those choices and not be too greedy and make space rather than take space.”

Jamil added: “I don’t want to be part of erasure.” Her comments come amid the ongoing debate over roles for minority groups in Hollywood.

However Cate Blanchett believes actors should be able to play any role, and said: “I will fight to the death for the right to suspend disbelief and play roles beyond my experience.”

Jamil said a “big change needs to happen” in the industry.

She said: “I think it’s a very tricky one. I can understand where people are coming from when it comes to suspending disbelief but I think the thing we should actually be fighting for is more roles for people with disabilities and more roles for LGBTQ so there aren’t just five a year and then those get taken by big names.”

I love her.

Season 8

Okay, I’m not upset that Allurance happened bc there is nothing wrong with that ship, it just bugs me bc throughout the show they literally had no chemistry. Up until season 7 Allura didn’t show ANY interest in Lance which is why I’m slightly bothered. You know who has had character developments and arcs together. Keith and Lance. Just saying. They were always linked in some way or another throughout the whole series. They were rivals and then friends and then each other’s support. They have grown a lot together. I understand that Allura was a lesson in love for Lance but I feel like the writers kind of used her in a way. Idk, like I’m happy with how things ended but, Lance and Allura just felt somewhat off to me. But idk, what are your thoughts??
