Karla Sofía Gascón opened up about her struggles in her acting career due to the bias toward the transgender community.
The Emilia Pérez star attended Madrid’s Platino Awards ceremony on Sunday, April 27, where she moved to tears while discussing her return to Hollywood for upcoming projects.
In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Karla stated that the actress might work in English films due to the ongoing political tension in the country.
The 53-year-old Spanish actress noted, "I’m looking forward to it. The question is whether when I get to the United States everything will be okay."
She continued, "I hope so, but if they don’t let me in or they don’t let me work because they consider that I am not a sufficiently qualified person or they want to discriminate against me because of my sexuality, then it will be very difficult."
