Christina Hendricks: Full-Figured Comments Rude

Christina Hendricks doesn't like to be called full-figured. The "Mad Men" star sat down with an Australian interviewer, Kate Waterhouse to promote Specsavers 2012 Spectade Weare of the Year competition. During some questionings, the interviewer asked: "You have been an inspiration as a full-figured woman, what is the most inspiring story that you can remember?"

Looking off camera towards her publicist Hendricks replied, "I don't know." Her publicist then asked Waterhouse to rephrase the question. The interviewer started again and said, "You've been known as an inspiration for women as being a full-figure... "

Immediately, Hendricks cut her off and said, "I mean, you just said it again." Waterhouse backtracked and continued the interview with different subject: her opinion on Australia. Hendricks complimented the beautiful continent and gushed, "It's so beautiful."

Allegedly, after the interview the actress told the Waterhouse, "I think calling me full-figured is just rude." Hendricks response may come to a surprise since she is known full bringing a curvier look back into Hollywood.

In an interview with Health.com she was previously asked about being a role model to women who weren't size zeroes, she simply responded, "It's such a compliment, because of all those times I had agents who were, like, 'You have to lose some weight,' and all of a sudden, people are celebrating it. It's like: 'Oh, thank you! Thank you for letting me be me.'"

Does the term "Full-figure" bother Mstarz readers?
