British actress Hayley Atwell is well-known for her portrayal of Agent Peggy Carter in various Marvel films, and the love interest of Captain America in "Captain America: The First Avenger."
However, the star recently made headlines for something else. The star was badly Photoshopped on the cover of a German TV magazine. Atwell then took to perfectly respond on social media.
A Chris Evans fan account on Twitter recently posted a photo of Atwell's magazine cover. Saying, "Why are you so beautiful? @HayleyAtwell." But instead of showing some gratitude, the "Captain America" actress quickly turned the tables.

It seems as though Atwell wasn't even aware that the magazine was out, probably seeing it for the first time. She replied to the tweet saying, "@ChrisEvansHeart why am I so photoshopped?"

Everyone knows how beautiful Atwell is with or without some Photoshop magic. But many people from the media are commending the "Cinderella" actress for speaking up about the "unrealistic beauty" that is presented in today's culture.
Fans took to voice their opinions on the overly Photoshopped photo on the same platform. One fan tweeted, "@HayleyAtwell there is no way you need to be photoshopped like that! You're beautiful and they shouldn't do that."

Others also voiced their commendation for Hayley Atwell's initiative to the imposition of beauty standards. "@HayleyAtwell You don't need photoshopping. No body does. Everyone is beautiful in their own ways, I wish the media would lay off it," tweeted another fan.

Another fan tweeted, decoding the intentions of the media, "@HayleyAtwell @CHrisEvansHeart because the media wants women to feel bad about not reaching an [inexistent] ideal."

Hayley Atwell recently threw the ceremonial first pitch at the baseball game of the Kansas City Royals and the Cleveland Indians. Sluggerrr, the Kansas City Royals mascot, caught the pitch with a homemade Captain America shield in hand.
