Jessica Chastain details how tough childhood living 'without enough food and facing eviction' left her 'feeling invisible' as she poses for ELLE Spain


Jessica Chastain has detailed how her tough childhood living 'without enough food and facing eviction' left her 'feeling invisible' in a new interview.

The star - who married into an Italian noble family in 2017 when she tied the knot with her husband Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo - shared details about her childhood as she admitted that many people 'expect' her to have been brought up in the same privileged position that she now holds. That year Chastain made headlines after it was revealed that she fought for her fellow female co-stars on movie The 355, which also features the likes of Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger and Fan Bingbing, to all earn equal pay. Her determination to speak out on behalf of her fellow leading ladies was sparked by the support she received throughout her childhood, when she attended a local performing arts school in California - something she was only able to do with the help of people 'who saw she was struggling'.
