Christina Hendricks: Women hit on me as much as men do

Christina Hendricks, famous for her role as the office manager Joan Harris on the TV series “Mad Men,” has revealed that both men and women hit on her equally.

She has been receiving compliments from people of all genders and sexual orientations since playing the character.

The actress, known for her voluptuous curves and infectious self-confidence, has become somewhat of a poster girl for women with curves.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Hendricks says that her husband finds it odd that so many women hit on her.

She adds that gay men are also infatuated with her. They tell her, “‘Well, I’m not straight, but if I was…’.” The actress considers it flattering and takes it positively.

Hendricks, who is now 35, was nominated for an Emmy this year for her work on the AMC drama.

She has also become a source of inspiration for curvy women.

During the first season of “Mad Men,” a fan approached her and said that she made her feel better about herself.

“I am a curvy woman, and you’ve made me feel sexy and beautiful,” the fan said. The actress got teary-eyed and was proud of herself for being a source of inspiration.

Hendricks’ husband, actor Geoffrey Arend, has also become impressed with the actress for being a source of inspiration for curvy women alike.

He told her that she was doing an amazing job.

On the flip side of her positive notoriety, Hendricks has also experienced criticism for her fuller figure.

Earlier this year, a New York Times writer sparked controversy for calling the actress “a big girl” when she attended the Golden Globes wearing a ruffled peach gown by Christian Siriano.

Hendricks wasn’t always so confident about her changing shape. She had doubts about her figure when she was 12, 14 years old.

As a dancer, her body was changing, and she was not happy with it. She started getting breasts, and her body was not playing along with her game plan.

It got depressing for a bit because she desperately wanted to be a ballerina.

Thankfully for Hendricks, she credits her upbringing with giving her a healthy body image. Her mother never said she needed to lose weight, and diets were never a big deal.

Hendricks’ mother was always beautiful and voluptuous and curvy, and she always thought she was gorgeous.

Hendricks’ confidence in herself has helped her become a symbol of body positivity.

She says that when the attention started to be about her figure, she was surprised because it wasn’t something she was focused on.

She is proud to be a role model for women with curves and is happy to inspire others to feel confident in their own skin.
