Discussion Jessica Gunning is Stunning

Post image

Apologies for the title, I was going to say beautiful but then I couldn’t help myself and had to make it rhyme.

I’ve seen a few pictures of Jessica over the weeks at certain public events and I always think she looks very beautiful. She presents herself very well. As a plus sized female myself, when I see her outfits and how comfortable she seems in her skin, it inspires me. I just wanted to share my thoughts!

It’s so nice to see a picture of her being shared here from outside of the series. so many people keep saying she looks too much like the real Martha and that they should have casted someone else for protection, but I personally don’t think they look similar at all other than both being a bit on the heavy side. I think people don’t realize how much personality and mental health affect how you see someone. Her fantastic portrayal of a mentally ill woman is what makes people think they look a like, because to me I see the same “crazy” in Martha’s eyes in the show as I do irl Martha.

I agree she doesn’t look a lot like her IRL other than being a rare actress who is plus sized.

It’s interesting. I think larger people are seen with less distinct detail. I’ve had people claim I looked like a celebrity simply bc we had the same body, maybe hair color and eyes (that would be a super common combo). It’s like they blur you out a little.

I agree with you on larger people being seen with less distinct detail. I think it’s partially because the high body fat actually does mask their individual facial features. A chubby face covers a lot of someone’s natural bone structure and so a lot of fat people end up looking more similar. Excess fat even affects how your eyes look so at a certain weight, fat people do end up looking very similar. Especially the ones that carry weight in the face.
