Eiza González pictured in NYC as she promotes new miniseries La Máquina after saying her good looks have cost her roles

Eiza González was pictured in New York City on Sunday, two months after she caused a stir by saying that her good looks have been a detriment to her acting career.

The Mexico City-born actress, 34, donned a lacy purple top with denim blue jeans and black leather boots as she was seen crossing a street in the Big Apple.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare actress, who attended the Met Gala last month, carried a black purse and a phone, with her wavy brown locks parted on the side.

González took to Instagram Stories Sunday in which she said she had a ‘press day’ for her new Hulu mini-series La Máquina, which costars Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna.

In the social media post promoting the Spanish-language boxing drama, González looked amazing as she donned a white silk shirt with a light layer of makeup.

González caused a bit of a stir this past March when she told InStyle that her good looks have cost her parts in the past.

The Godzilla vs. Kong actress told the outlet, ‘I remember being [told for] so many projects, “She’s too pretty for the role. She’s too hot for the role.”

‘Then I’d just be like, “What is Margot Robbie?” She’s the hottest, most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life!’

The Baby Driver star said that the repeated issue led her to have ‘an identity crisis for a very long time’ in which she considered drastically changing her appearance in an effort to boost her career.

‘I was like, “Do I shave my head? Do I make myself less attractive? Do I make myself more attractive? Do I not dress super-hot or do I dress super-hot or do I cover myself all the time?”‘ she told the outlet.

González’s remarks brought forth a strong response via social media, as many users said her remarks had an arrogant tenor to them, and that she had overestimated her acting skills.

González earlier this month took to the social media platform to defend Jennifer Lopez from what she said was online bullying.

‘I have to say the level of bullying that this woman has received in the last few months is so disturbing and heartbreaking,’ González said. ‘How can you complain about someone being mean while enjoying [being] mean about them.

González said fans should take a more sensitive stance in how they view celebs such as Lopez, who made headlines amid reported marital woes with Ben Affleck and a canceled summer music tour.

‘People are humans, make mistakes and some have personal things happening while also having to be constantly perfect in the public eye,’ González said.

She added that ‘the world is a pretty complicated place’ and ‘the best thing we could be doing now is be kind, as ‘we have no clue what people are experiencing.’
