A producer once told me he hired me for the way I held a gun while wearing panties

Action veteran Zoe Saldana isn’t pulling any punches when describing the sexism she’s faced in Hollywood over the years.

“A producer once told me he hired me for the way I held a gun while wearing panties, not for my opinions,” she told the Philadelphia Daily News in a recent interview promoting her new film, Infinitely Polar Bear. “I wish I’d recorded it, so I could play it for every girl in elementary school and tell them never to let anybody treat them that way. ”

Though Saldana stopped short of naming the offending producer, she’s had to battle almost in the buff in a pair of action movies, The Losers (2010) and Colombiana (2011).
