Prior to her acting career, Caitriona Balfe walked the runways for brands ranging from Chanel to Victoria's Secret.

"You're supposed to just automatically be this fun, interesting, edgy person that fashion people want to be around, but then at the same time, you have to be so skinny and so androgynous," Balfe said."[I was] constantly being compared to people. I think, as a young woman in your teens and twenties, that's really really hard."

She continued, detailing the criticism she faced, as a regular part of her job."There’s so many times where you would go in to castings or even fittings for jobs that you already supposedly had and somebody in the room would just be annihilating how you look or your lack of personality or you talk too much," she said."All in front of you, and it’s really tough. I have so much admiration for girls who can come through that unscathed.

During the conversation, Balfe was clear that her career as a model provided her with opportunities she might not have received otherwise, but they came at a cost.
