Amy Adams loves doing family films
Amy Adams loves starring in “family films”.
The ‘Enchanted’ actress was delighted to be given the chance to sing and dance on screen in the 2007 movie, and would be more than happy to star in a musical film in the future.
She said, “I love doing family films. They give you so much permission to play. Of gosh, that’s fun. Of course, I adore drama, but on a purely selfish level, nothing compares to the joy that fills my heart when I sing and dance. Everyone I know says, ‘Oh Amy, you should just go and do a musical and be done with it.’ I absolutely love acting, but my characters aren’t usually bursting into song from joy. They’re usually feeling and crying their way.”
Amy can soon be seen in ‘Julie and Julia’, in which she plays Julie Powell, a woman who decided to make all 524 recipes in Julia Child’s ‘Mastering The Art of French Cooking’ and write a blog about the experience.
The 34-year-old star was given cooking lessons before filming, and admits she needed all the help she could get.
She explained to Britain’s Vogue magazine, “I learnt to cook. I didn’t grow up eating fresh food. Not as one of seven kids! But I could have made you something really decent with canned food. We were given cooking classes. All that stuff when you see me cooking – that’s really me. I did bone the duck.”
Has anyone seen ‘Julie & Julia’? If so, how was it?
