Hollywood was just 'too much' for Alicia Silverstoneshare
While many actors would have killed to be cast in a Batman film, Alicia Silverstone says it was the role that lessened her desire to be a Hollywood star. "That definitely wasn't my favorite film-making experience," she told Today in April 2020. Silverstone was just 20 when she starred alongside George Clooney and Chris O'Donnell in the film, and Today recalled, the tabloids called the young star "Fatgirl." "They would make fun of my body when I was younger," she said. "It was hurtful but I knew they were wrong. I knew that it was not right to make fun of someone's body shape; that doesn't seem like the right thing to be doing to a human."
On top of the body-shaming, Batman & Robin went on to be a box office bomb and earned Silverstone a 1998 Razzie Award for "Worst Supporting Actress." She told Today that the entire experience made her want to walk away from the industry for a while. "I stopped loving acting for a very long time," she revealed.
As it turns out, Silverstone didn't really want to become an actor in Hollywood. "I was just a theater kid," she told The Guardian in 2015. "I never wanted to be in movies or TV. There's no support or schooling on what do you do when you suddenly found yourself famous as a young woman. It was just too much for me."
