If you’ve been wondering why you haven’t seen Mischa Barton in anything of note since she was kicked off The OC, then wonder no more. Mischa explains its because she turns down multiple projects. In fact, she turns down so many projects it would make your head spin.
“It’s strange. Everyone keeps asking me about what I’m working on right now. But it’s quite the opposite. It’s about what projects I’m turning down, which identifies me as the actor I want to be. I’m in this funny phase in my career, where it’s super important to not do a project unless I’m super passionate about it. Because what you choose to take is how people are going to view you. It is hard, though. The way you want to go isn’t necessarily the way you get to go as an actor. This industry is run by fear. When you go too long without working, you have people hassling you. The jobs I choose to do will form who I am.” Ladygunn
Her explanation must have been met with sarcasm and disbelief. Suuuure you’re turning down hundreds of projects, Mischa. That’s why you posed with raw meat in your mouth for Tyler Shields.
You know who probably does turn down multiple projects? Scarlett Johansson. You know who doesn’t pose and get smacked in the face with raw meat (outside of my bedroom, giggity) ? Scarlett Johansson.
