Although Jennifer Love Hewitt is quite talented, like many women thrust into the spotlight in the early 2000s, her skills were often overshadowed by her looks. She shared that she watched the Britney Spears documentary Framing Britney Spears and that brought a lot of painful memories to mind.
"There's that whole section in [Framing Britney Spears] talking about [Spears'] breasts. At the time that I was going through it, and interviewers were asking what now would be incredibly inappropriate, gross things, it didn't feel that way," Hewitt explained to Vulture. "Now that I'm older, I think, 'Gosh, I wish that I had known how inappropriate that was so I could have defended myself somehow or just not answered those questions.'"
She said the conversation about her body started during her press tours for I Know What You Did Last Summer and sometimes her body would outshine her acting. Particularly, she expressed how she wore a T-shirt to a press junket for either I Know What You Did Last Summer or its sequel that said "Silicone Free" because she was "so annoyed" by questions about her boobs. She also shared it was disheartening it was to do press for Heartbreakers and have the majority of questions be focused on her looks. "I was disappointed that it was all about body stuff, because I had really worked hard in that movie to do a good job as an actress," Hewitt recalled.
