- 4 years ago
Jamil has insisted that societal expectations of physical beauty don't concern her.
"I don't ever really feel beautiful. Also, I'm not interested in feeling beautiful. I just like feeling like myself, which is normally when I'm lying in my boyfriend's arms. I'm not interested in beauty terribly", Jameela Jamil, to 'Entertainment Tonight'.
"I like fashion and make-up and I like playing with colors and I used to paint and so I think I find that quite fun, but yeah, I never really feel beautiful. I prefer to feel funny or smart or happy", Jameela Jamil, to 'Entertainment Tonight'
Jamil explained that she wants to break down boundaries to prove she's "capable of [living] outside of a man's dictation of my value.".
"As women we're always told what we're capable of, which is not much, and that's why we're told we have to be so beautiful 'cause we have no other value", Jameela Jamil, to 'Entertainment Tonight'
