In an interview with The Times of London, Nico talked about representation in the film industry and what she thinks of the comments about her hair in How to Train Your Dragon.
In the interview, Nico brushed off the negativity and said, “For the people that just hate inclusivity, hate change — when it comes to that side of things, I just don’t care.”
“If I wouldn’t value your opinion on most things in life, I can’t value your opinion on my hair. If I did, I would go mad,” Nico told the publication. She said that she hopes people who loved the original animated film “find something” to love about the new version.
How to Train Your Dragon hits theaters June 13. To celebrate the upcoming release of film, Nico and the cast recently visited Universal’s Epic Universe together for a special grand opening.
