Misogynistic attacks against Brie Larson don't faze the 'Captain Marvel' star, suggesting she wasn't responding to online toxicity in a viral 'Star Wars' post.
's Kate Aurthur asked Larson about the"horrible comics fans who were rooting against it, because it had a woman lead character, and because of your politics," citing in particular YouTube videos wishing for the movie to bomb at the box office, Larson said she was largely unaware of the social media discourse around the movie.
"Oh, I didn't even know," Larson said."I don't have time for it, you know? The things that I have extra time to really look at are, like: Am I eating healthy food? Am I drinking water? Am I meditating? Have I called my mom today?"An outspoken advocate for gender equality, Larson was a pivotal part of the"Time's Up" movement, created in 2018 to combat sexual harassment.
Larson added"I've never Googled myself," answering a question she says many journalists have posed to her, particularly after therelease."I have genuinely never needed to look at the internet to explain to me who I am. I'm extremely committed to that in my day-to-day life!"
