Jessica on Glamour–Actress Jessica Chastain is all smiles on the November 2014 cover of Glamour Magazine. The star has been landing covers left and right recently, posing in a sultry Interview Magazine shoot too. Tom Munro captures her for Glamour in designer looks from the likes of Altuzarra, Lanvin and Derek Lam. In her interview, she talks about acting, becoming famous in her thirties and more.
Jessica on becoming famous in her 30s vs. at age 19…
“I would have been a disaster. If I was 19 and I had the attention that I’m getting now, I would have just said stupid things. I would have partied more. All these expensive dinners and people giving me champagne? All these stupid things that we criticize 19-year-olds for doing when they’re famous, I would have done.”
Jessica on playing strong female leads…
“When I play a female lead, like the role in Zero Dark Thirty, even if she’s strong, I try to give her as many flaws as I can. I think to play a female hero without faults is actually doing a disservice to women. I think it’s more interesting to see women on-screen with flaws. Then it’s not this unreasonable expectation that society then would put on you: ‘Well, a strong women can’t be like this…'”
