Audrey Tautou has revealed that the reason behind her decision to not pursue a career in Hollywood was that she did not want "every single millimeter" of her body to be scrutinized.

Talking to the Radio Times, she described the scrutiny of Hollywood actresses as "unforgiving", the Independent reported.

She insisted that the pressure in Hollywood is different than that in France.

The actress explained that people in Hollywood stare at every single millimeter of your body and clothes, which is a huge pressure.

She said that some celebrities are happy with that, but she does not feel the same.

The 36-year-old star, who got acclaimed for her roles in 'Amelie' and 'The Da Vinci Code', is now set to appear in the lead role of an unhappily married woman in a French film 'Therese Desqueyroux', set in the 1920s.
