The casting is a joke.


Why does a beautiful actress need to be cast as Victoria?? There is a perfectly talented actress right now without a job because they had to cast this bitch.

reply

Because the show wants eye balls. Rachel Dratch from SNL would look more accurate, but who the hell wants to watch her?

reply

she wouldn't be accurate, that's not how Victoria looked either.

reply

Who should have been cast then?

reply

I don't know, as I said, some young actress that looks like Victoria and that can act but she's unknown because they had to cast that stupid ass fucking bitch they casted as Victoria, who is also an unknown but she now has a career because of her beauty. That's fucked up. People complain about whitewashing well what would this be?? This woman looks NOTHING like Victoria, it's almost offensive because as I said, actors aren't given equal chances.

reply

Yeah, you have no names so shut up until you do..

fuck off.

Nah, he's right.

Honestly, I believe that Jenna Coleman has quite a resemblance to a younger Queen Victoria. And even if she's a bit prettier, who cares?
Jenna does an awesome job.

reply

Yeah I don't want to watch something with an unattractive lead. Television is a visual medium, so everything should look visually appealing, including the people.

reply

OP just wants to troll and use nasty offensive sexist language for an actress that he doesn't like.

reply

It is a shame that our history has to be dumbed down and beautified to make it saleable. The real Victoria had many admirable qualities but beauty wasn't top of the list. I would have liked to see an unknown in the role too, or at least someone who is known more for her talent than her looks.

Bryony Hannah, perhaps?

Did morons complain about Emily Blunt being cast in "The Young Victoria" movie?

reply

You didn't get the job, madam. Perhaps you think it's because Jenna is prettier than you, or perhaps you just can't act. Don't be so bitter.

reply

LOL!

reply

Have you seen portraits of the real young Queen Victoria?

reply

Why did you feel the need to call her a bitch? That was really uncalled for!

Anyway, I believe that Jenna looks enough like a young Victoria to be given a pass. And if she's a bit prettier, who cares?

reply

Actually Jenna’s not THAT different to a young Queen Victoria.

She’s believable in the role and the show is quite a success, whatever profanities Random Internet Dude wants to hurl at her. I’m sure she couldn’t care less.
