"Snow White" actor
Rachel Zegler
says online comments can be alarming, but she chooses to avoid having a "victim mindset" and instead focuses on positivity, light and happiness.
Zegler, who most recently appeared in the fantasy film "Snow White", received mixed reviews on her casting, with many questioning the makers' choice of the actor in 2021.
In 2022, she was criticised again after her comment on Prince Charming from the original 1937's story as she called him "dated", adding how he "literally stalks" Snow White.
The 24-year-old actor was asked about the comments people put out on social media. "It's interesting...It's really alarming at times," Zegler told i-D magazine in an interview.
"I think a victim mindset is a choice, and I don't choose it. I also don't choose nastiness in the face of it.
I don't choose negativity in the face of it. I choose positivity and light and happiness. And I do believe at times, happiness is absolutely a choice, and every day I wake up and I think I'm very lucky to live the life I live," she added addressing negativity.
Zegler has also been supportive of Palestine amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
"My compassion has no boundaries, is really what it is, and my support for one cause does not denounce any others.

That's always been at the core of who I am as a person. It's the way I was raised," she said.
Asked if she thinks her open support can bring potential professional consequences. She said, "There are obviously things that are at stake by being outspoken, but nothing is worth innocent lives. My heart doesn't have a fence around it, and if that is considered my downfall? There are worse things."
"Snow White" was directed by Marc Webb, best known for films such as "500 Days of Summer", "Amazing Spider-Man" series and "Gifted". It also featured Gal Gadot in the role of the Evil Queen and released in March.

'Meet the Fockers': Barbra Streisand reveals she was underpaid in this romantic comedy: 'I'm pissed Off'
While discussing Barbra Streisand 's new album with Variety, the seasoned singer and actress offered her thoughts on whether she would return to her role as Roz Focker from Meet the Fockers in the upcoming Meet the Parents movie. She pointed out that, considering the pay gap on the 2004 sequel, she would need to be paid "a lot of money" for that to happen. "Oh my God," Streisand said in the interview with Variety, "they'd have to pay me a lot of money because I didn't get paid what the other people got paid, and so I'm pissed off." "I was in the time when women were getting paid less than the men. The head of Universal was Ron Meyer at the time, and he actually sent me a bonus check. It was very sweet." As the parents of Ben Stiller's Greg, Streisand and Hoffman played Dustin Hoffman 's on-screen wife in the sequel. To the disappointment of Greg and his fiancée Pam (Teri Polo), they meet (and argue with) their son's future in-laws, Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner . A fourth Meet the Parents, a follow-up to the 2010 threequel Little Fockers, was recently announced by Universal. Many of the original stars (aside from Streisand) will return, and there will be one noteworthy new addition: pop star Ariana Grande , who recently starred in Wicked, in an unspecified role. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gentle Japanese hair growth method for men and women's scalp Hair's Rich Learn More Undo The fourth entry was written by John Hamburg, who also co-wrote the first three and will serve as director. Additionally, Streisand's next album, The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, which is a compilation of duets and a follow-up to her 2014 album Partners, will feature Grande on the song "One Heart, One Voice." Mariah Carey will also be featured on the song. "They're the hottest, biggest, most wonderful voices," Streisand told Variety of tapping the music superstars. "And they both said yes to join me." As for whether she would consider a return to the big screen, Streisand noted that she does "get a lot of offers" when asked how often serious acting offers came her way. "But they're funny offers," the star of Yentl and Funny Face said. "Well, one was good. It was something that Peter Bogdanovich was going to do, and Guillermo del Toro sent it to me, I think. It's a subject that I actually love, but I'm not going to tell you. I'm not ready to direct again. I think I've probably had it."
