'The Flash' star Grant Gustin fires back at body-shaming fans
We have known that Hollywood sets impossible standards for normal people, but as it turns out we set impossible standards of physical beauty on them as well. Grant Gustin, star of The CW show ‘The Flash’ is the latest victim of body-shaming by fans, and unlike many, he is not one to roll over and accept the unjust criticisms. He in fact took to social media to blast many fans of the show, who took to shaming him for his “skinny” body despite playing a superhero on TV.
It all started when a few fans got their hands on a leaked photo of Barry Allen aka The Flash’s latest suit on the show, which will be debuted in upcoming season 5. Many who saw the photo assumed it to be the final version that will make it to the show, which as it turns out, is not the case. Gustin wrote a lengthy post on Instagram to not only defend his casting as The Flash, but also to reassure fans that the suit that will finally make an appearance on season 5, which will premiere on October 9, 2018, will not disappoint them.
