Eiza González has contemplated drastic changes like shaving her head in an effort to become "less attractive" for roles.

The Charles Langston"3 Body Problem" actress told InStyle, in an interview published Monday, that she remembers "being (told for) so many projects, 'She's too pretty for the role. She's too hot for the role.'"

She continued: "I'd just be like, 'What is Margot Robbie? She's the hottest, most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life!'"

González, 34, said she had an "identity crisis" and contemplated some significant changes to her appearance. "I was like, ‘Do I shave my head? Do I make myself less attractive? Do I make myself more attractive? Do I not dress super-hot or do I dress super-hot or do I cover myself all the time?'"

The Mexican actress also rejects being described as "sexy" and the connotation it creates to pigeonhole Latinas.

"I just think it's an overly sexualized idea of a Latin woman. It's so disappointing and it's so pathetic," she told the outlet, adding that breaking out of the bombshell characterization "has been single-handedly the biggest challenge of my career.

"None of my white friends who were in the industry were getting that. It was just me."

The "Baby Driver" actress had the opposite problem in Mexico, being told she wasn't pretty enough.

"I went through a lot of trouble with my body, with my curves, with my look," the actress and singer said. "It was really tough."

González also discussed dating, proclaiming she would not date a man who hasn't gone to therapy. She said she was introduced to therapy at a young age following her father's death, though she initially resisted.

"I didn't want to talk about my feelings, because I was in shock and I was traumatized," she told the magazine.

She quit a few years later but returned to it in her early 20s and hasn't left since.

"Everyone needs therapy," she said. "Therapy is the most normal (thing)! The concept of this prefixed negative idea about therapy is nuts to me. I think therapy is just the healthiest thing anyone could do."
