Jessie Buckley says she was 'brutalised' on TV talent show
Jessie Buckley says she was 'brutalised' on TV talent show
Actress Jessie Buckley has said she was "brutalised" on the 2008 TV talent show that catapulted her to fame.
The 36-year-old was the runner-up on the BBC's I'd Do Anything, about the search for an actress to play Nancy in a West End production of Oliver!
In an interview with Vogue, Buckley said she experienced "unfair objectification" at a time when she was still growing and "trying to move into a space for myself".
The Irish actress has since become a Hollywood star and is tipped to win a string of best actress prizes in the current film awards season for her performance in Hamnet.
Reflecting on her time on I'd Do Anything, Buckley said: "I look back at it and I feel like, 'God, you're so brave.' I don't know if I'd have that courage now. And I don't know if that was kind of innocence or ignorance."
She added that she was "not fully well" and "depressed" at the time she took part.
Buckley said she experienced her treatment on the show as "a lot of body shaming and bringing me to femininity school".
And I was growing into my body," she continued. "I was 17. I was in a moment of discovery. As women, it's such unfair objectification.
Vogue noted that some judges and other stars on the show commented on her appearance, with one choreographer encouraging her to be "more ladylike" and learn how to dance in six-inch heels.
"Back then, I was just trying to move into a space of myself," Buckley said. "I really hope that a 15, 17, whatever-age woman never has to be brutalised quite like what happened on that show.
But I didn't recognise it fully at the time. I just felt it, which was difficult.
In response, the BBC pointed to its policies to ensure a duty of care for all who work with the corporation, which it said had been strengthened over decades.
Anybody putting complaints or concerns to the corporation are treated with the utmost care and seriousness, the BBC added.
Buckley also revealed that, after appearing on the talent series, she turned down an offer to be the understudy for winner Jodie Prenger.
Instead, Buckley pursued her own trajectory in London's theatre landscape, taking a job in Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music at the Menier Chocolate Factory theatre.
But she struggled in the early part of her career, telling Vogue: "I was just lost. When you're told, culturally, in different ways, that you have to kind of mould yourself into a shape that doesn't naturally fit you, in some ways you incubate that messaging and then it becomes self-destructive.
Once I realised that, my life goal has been to unravel myself from the sort of miseducation, from stories that don't actually serve me, and just find life.
Buckley is now widely predicted to win best actress for Hamnet at events such as the Golden Globes, Baftas and Oscars in the coming weeks.
She stars opposite Paul Mescal in the film, which is directed by Chloé Zhao and adapted from the novel by Maggie O'Farrell.
It follows the death of the 11-year-old son of William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes, which some believe led the Bard to write his play Hamlet.
