After Elordi explained that he takes his roles because he 'needs a job' and was praised for his candor, fans called out how Zegler basically said the exact same thing months ago and was instantly criticized for it.

Jacob Elordi is being praised by people on social media for being candid and honest about taking a role because he "needs a job..."

*record scratch*


... but didn't Rachel Zegler catch a bunch of Shazam for saying the same thing earlier this year?

Recently, Elordi has made some statements about his work in The Kissing Booth films, telling GQ last week:

“I didn’t want to make those movies before I made those movies."
“Those movies are ridiculous. They’re not universal. They’re an escape.”

Now the actor is out promoting two major films, Priscilla and Saltburn, and when asked about how he chooses his roles, he told IndieWire:

"I mean, I just play what they give me."
"You know, I need a job."

And the Twitterverse is applauding him for being so "real" and "keeping it honest."





But some on social media noted society's double standard, pointing out that Zegler was heavily criticized while promoting Shazam! Fury of the Gods for saying basically the same thing.

Back in March The Hollywood Reporter asked the actor what made her want to join the "world of DC heroes," to which she replied:

"I needed a job."

Zegler continued:

"I'm being so serious. The reality is we're in the middle of a pandemic and I was not working and I could not get a job for the life of me, because 'West Side Story' hadn't come out yet."
"It was really hard to book work for me."

Zegler was later called out when speaking about her lead role in Snow White when she referred to some of the elements in the original film as " weird," explaining to Variety:

"[Snow White is] not going to be saved by the prince, and she's not going to be dreaming about true love."
"She's going to be dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be."

How dare she.

Those observing the hypocrisy expressed their disappointment.








Very, very interesting 🤔

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
