The “Pitch Perfect” series actress and executive producer told reporters on Monday of her difficult time accepting herself as a young and struggling performer in the cutthroat entertainment business.

“I hope it doesn’t surprise anyone, I’m not always comfortable in my own skin either, and I remember when I first came to Hollywood,” Banks began. “My very first meeting in Hollywood was with an agent who told me I should get a boob job — and I left the meeting.”

“I did not get a boob job, and I decided that I was going to be happy and comfortable with who I was,” Banks explained at the Television Critics’ Association Winter Press Tour at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, Calif.

She told People magazine in 2017 that she was too broke to go forward with the procedure. “I was so grateful that I didn’t have enough money at the time to follow his advice," she said. "I also did not sign with him despite that.”
