Hayley Atwell shares how her dancing stops men approaching her in clubs

Hayley Atwell has revealed the “mad” method she used to adopt to fend off unwanted male attention in nightclubs.
The Mission Impossible actor said: “I used to do really ugly, intense dancing [...] that was totally out of rhythm, and almost like I was manically into them. And it would last like 10 seconds before they usually backed down.”
Atwell also discussed how she collaborated with Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie to build her character, as well as stunt and combat training for the film.

The fear Hayley talks about here is something the majority of women have felt. It's almost primal. And it's so sad it's still prevalent in what we consider to be civilised societies. Thank you for your honesty, both of you.

I can see how scared Hayley seems just by talking about it, it is really sad because it speaks for how a lot of women feel when going out.
