Are we expecting too little of male actors?

People have been talking about Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles lately—and not just about their reported brewing romance. Wilde took to Instagram recently to gush over Styles’s “humility and grace” in the face of being a male supporting actor in a women-lead film (*tear*), prompting many to ask: What’s the big effing deal? It’s literally his job.

Underneath a black-and-white photo of Styles sitting in a vintage car, Wilde wrote: “Little known fact: Most male actors don’t want to play supporting roles in female-led films. No joke, it is hard to find actors who recognize why it might be worth it to allow for a woman to hold the spotlight.”

“Not only did he relish the opportunity to allow for the brilliant @florencepugh to hold centre stage as our ‘Alice,’ but he infused every scene with a nuanced sense of humanity,” the caption continued. “He jumped on board with humility and grace, and blew us away every day with his talent, warmth and ability to drive backwards.”

Comments have since been limited on the Instagram post, but Twitter has been lit aflame by people calling out Wilde for praising Styles for doing the “bare minimum.”

“This is worthy of appraisal? Man doesn’t take lead role in film?” one Twitter user wrote. “We’re applauding the bare minimum now?”
