In a move that's shaking up Tinseltown faster than a Kardashian scandal, Hollywood's elite starlets have banded together to demand a ban on 'ugly' extras from movie sets. Leading the charge is none other than Margot Robbie, who claims that unsightly background actors are causing 'aesthetic pollution' and ruining the vibe of her perfectly lit close-ups. 'It's not personal,' Robbie allegedly said, 'it's just that their faces clash with the color palette.'
The campaign, dubbed 'Extras Only If Extra Hot,' has garnered support from A-listers like Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet, who argue that only the genetically blessed should grace the silver screen, even if they're just holding a coffee cup in the background. Industry insiders are buzzing about the potential fallout, with one anonymous director quipping, 'Finally, a way to make sure my films look like Instagram filters come to life.'
Critics of the ban point out the obvious hypocrisy, noting that many stars rely on CGI, makeup, and favorable lighting to achieve their flawless looks. 'If we're banning ugly extras, shouldn't we start with the actors who show up without their glam squads?' asked one disgruntled extra who's been blacklisted for having what Robbie calls 'an asymmetrical nose.'
Union representatives for background actors are up in arms, threatening strikes and lawsuits. 'This is discrimination based on hotness,' said a spokesperson for SAG-AFTRA. 'Next thing you know, they'll be measuring waistlines at auditions.' But the starlets remain undeterred, proposing mandatory beauty audits before anyone steps foot on set.
Rumors are swirling that this could extend beyond extras to crew members. 'Why stop at actors?' pondered one producer. 'Let's ban ugly grips and gaffers too. Imagine a world where even the boom mic operator looks like a supermodel.' The idea has some studios salivating over the marketing potential: 'Our sets are so beautiful, you'll forget to watch the movie.'
In a satirical twist, some extras are fighting back by organizing 'Ugly Pride' parades on studio lots, complete with signs reading 'Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder, Not the Director.' One participant, proudly sporting a unibrow, declared, 'If Margot doesn't want us, we'll start our own industry—Uglywood, where realism reigns supreme.'
As the debate rages on, Hollywood might just be on the cusp of its most superficial revolution yet. Will this lead to better films or just prettier flops? Only time—and a whole lot of Botox—will tell.
