Could this woman be any more beautiful? Well, yes. Read some excerpts from her W interview, and you’ll find out that she’s just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside (and yes, that’s as schmaltzy and lovey as I’ll ever get, OK? Iron-clad promise on that one).
Jennifer on being a bad dancer, but being an OK archer:
“I’m such a bad dancer [laughs]. I don’t have many talents: I’m not a good cook, I can’t clean, and I can’t sew. The only thing I can do well is shoot bow and arrow—which I learned to do for The Hunger Games and will probably never come in handy—and act. Imagine me 100 years ago: I would have been pointless.”
On being “raped” in the movies at 15:
“I hid the Poker House script from my parents so that I could audition for it. By the time I got the part, it was too late: They had to let me do it. During the filming of the rape scene, my mom was there. I was okay with it. I was very ballsy at that age—the typical kind of stubbornness that comes with being a teenager. I started out fearless, and now I’m terrified.”
How her experience have made her “old”:
“I’ve been through a lot. I mean, I’ve been nude and painted blue! [Laughs] Truthfully, a lot has happened in a short time.”
On fame:
“Sadly, I cannot live in Los Angeles anymore. I don’t understand how actors can do it. You have no life here. You are followed everywhere. It’s not like that anywhere else in the world. I don’t want to stay in L.A. and start thinking that’s reality—because it’s very far from normal. But I still love movies. I’m just going to love being in them from Kentucky, or Prague, or somewhere else.”
Finally, on going to the Academy Awards:
“It’s an honor and an overwhelming compliment, but it’s also a kind of bizarre thing. All of a sudden you’re at these parties and everybody’s famous, and you feel like a loser. By the time of the actual Oscars, I was so sick of fittings and trains and corsets and people asking “What are you going to wear?” I had to go on a diet, because at all the parties there’s champagne and hors d’oeuvres. I ate so much! I think I wore two Spanx on the night of the awards.”
So, so sweet and normal. So, so refreshing. And you should so, so check out the rest of the gorgeous photos from this shoot, because wow.
yay Jen <3
Love her.
I like her alot but I would have never guessed that first photo was her. Still beautiful though either way.
Gorgeous! I hope she stays this down-to-earth and awesome throughout her career.
All I can see is her nose job. That’s all I stare at when I see her face — it’s too small for her big features.
All I can think about is what a nightmare that set must be for that peacock
