White star Rachel Zegler sparks concern with strange facial expressions at Met Gala"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Hollywood star Rachel Zegler has sparked concern across social media after a video of her making a series of bizarre facial expressions while posing for pictures at the Met Gala went viral.<\/p>\n<p>A clip of Zegler appearing to be struggling to find an appropriate way to rest her mouth spread like wildfire online.<\/p>\n<p>As the video went viral, fans expressed their confusion at Zegler\u2019s strange movements. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is not normal behaviour,\u201d claimed one concerned fan.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"poster-img\" src=\"https:\/\/content.api.news\/v3\/images\/bin\/cd9d4f64d25a9c3dec8d3ebc4293e844\" data-sctrack=\"op-poster-img\" alt=\"Rachel

\u201cGenuinely what on earth is she doing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another added: \u201cWhat the heck is up with her mouth?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, others jumped to the defence of the star, saying she looked \u201cbeautiful\u201d and \u201cradiant\u201d and questioned why some fans were being so \u201cmean\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>It comes after Zegler recently said that if she had known about the backlash that would follow her casting as Snow White, she would have thrown her phone away.<\/p>\n<p>It was first announced that Zegler had been cast as the titular Disney princess in the live-action Snow White remake in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The young actress, who has Colombian and Polish roots, faced backlash from fans after the casting announcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was told I wasn\u2019t enough of one thing for West Side Story and too much of another for Snow White,\u201d she told Harper\u2019s Bazaar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a really confusing time to be in my early twenties and hearing that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI grew up proud of being Colombian \u2013 eating the food, wearing the dresses, drinking the coffee, doing all the things that were so intrinsic to who I was as a kid and who I am as an adult \u2013 but I do think there\u2019s an argument to be made that, in the public eye at least, when you\u2019re two things, you\u2019re simultaneously nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I refuse to assimilate for anybody else\u2019s comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Zegler revealed that therapy and anxiety medication helped her overcome the monumental backlash she received around her role in the Disney film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy f***ing psychiatrist has seen me through all of it,\u201d Zegler explained in an interview to I-D, noting that her medical doctor constantly reminded her that \u201cwhat you\u2019re going through isn\u2019t normal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hollywood star Rachel Zegler has sparked concern across social media after a video of her making a
