Actress Tatiana Maslany, most recently known for her role in Orphan Black, is standing up to Hollywood's beauty standards.

During an interview with People, the 29-year-old Canadian-born actress gave an inside look at some of the ridiculing and sexism that she has endured in Hollywood, from being asked to wax her mustache to wearing unnecessarily sexy outfits.

"I don't think that any woman in this industry hasn't [experienced sexism]," Maslany told People. "I think we all have in various ways, and sometimes you can't even tell that it's happening because it's so ingrained in the way things are structured."

Maslany, who started her acting career on the Canadian show 2030 CE while she was still in high school, is well-versed in the problems with working in Hollywood, saying she "can't even name the number of times" she's personally experienced sexism while working.

"Like being told, 'Let's not talk about that, sweetheart,' if I have an issue with being hit on by a 50-year-old when I was 17 and on set," Maslany told People. "It's never ending. Being put into this little outfit that showed my midriff in a scene where I'm supposed to be grieving the death of a family member, and it's like, 'Make sure that her belly button is showing' — it's just pathetic. It's so pathetic."

Maslany also revealed that she has been asked to alter her physical appearance, such as shaving her armpits.

"And wax my mustache," Maslany added. "Which I refused to do!" For what it's worth, we're having a hard time spotting much facial hair on Maslany, who noted, however, that she'd wax if it fit the role.

"I'll do it if the part calls for it and it makes sense."

Maslany said, though, that she has seen changes in Hollywood, crediting people voicing their opinions as the charging force.

"I can't imagine that it's going to stay stuck like this. I hope not! People are too upset, people are too pissed off and too many strong voices are now being heard," Maslany said. "There is a big shift happening, and I think we are at the messy puberty stages of it right now, but I hope that at some point it becomes the default that every racial group has their own stories that are being told that aren't stereotypical."
