She may have been portraying one of the sexiest women in Hollywood history, but Michelle Williams said that she didn’t feel sexy playing iconic figure Marilyn Monroe in her My Week with Marilyn role.
She told Piers Morgan:
“Honestly, no [I didn't feel sexy].You know, maybe in those kind of moments — in the moment line in the bathtub or the scene with the school boys… but not consistently.
“Not in your every day life, not on the weekends when all that comes off, the hair, the wig, the costume. There’s some sort of strange in between person underneath.”
While watching the film, Michelle admits that it feels like she’s looking at some other person.
“I don’t really know who I’m looking at any more.
“It’s just kind of at her. Whenever I see it, it’s a she or a her. It’s not me. And I wouldn’t be audacious to say it was Marilyn. It’s just some other being. It’s a strange relationship.”
Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams appear as lovers in their new movie, Blue Valentine, but they’re denying reports that they’re actually dating in real life.
During a recent appearance on ABC’s Nightline, the pair, who star in the new drama Blue Valentine, danced around the question of whether or not they were together.
When asked about their relationship status, Gosling and Williams smiled and giggled, before Gosling put his arm around Williams and said “No”.
Reporter Cynthia McFadden responded by saying: “I don’t believe that.”
The actor replied: “I always look like I’m lying. It’s just – that’s my face.”
Gosling previously said that he and Williams “slam-dunked” their multiple sex scenes in Blue Valentine.
They do look cute together, though. It wouldn’t be a bad thing if they got together for real…What do you think?
Michelle Williams has revealed that she wasn’t a fan of her cheesy image on the show, Dawson’s Creek.
In a recent interview, she said, “I said to a friend being on Dawson’s Creek was kind of like being a mobster. You set up a shop selling pizza, but in the back you’re laundering money. You’re doing one thing in plain sight and secretly plotting something else. I was plotting my tastes, my interests, my beliefs and hopes for what I could be.”
Williams admitted it was a struggle to get substantial work after the show ended. “Yes, it was hard getting jobs I wanted,” she said. “I was a pop tart. It took patience and baby steps.”
The Oscar-nominated star, next up opposite Ryan Gosling in the indie flick Blue Valentine, revealed her five-year-old daughter Matilda (with the late Heath Ledger) also has some more mature tastes.
“She’s into Fred [Astaire] and Ginger [Rogers] right now,” she said. “Don’t get me wrong, she has her pop culture references, but I try to make a balance is all.”
Last week it was reported that Michelle’s new movie, Blue Valentine was receiving a NC17 rating. The production company has appealed the ruling, and we’ll see if they can get the R rating they’re hoping for!
It’s Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio’s fourth film together,which officially makes them Hollywood’s hottest couple after Brad ‘n’ Angie. But Shutter Island is not just exciting because of that; it’s also shaping up to be something of a stylistic shift for Scorsese. And here’s a shot of Scorsese directing DiCaprio (as Teddy Daniels) and Michelle Williams as his wife.
Co-star Mark Ruffalo, who plays a US marshal alongside DiCaprio, said, “This could be one of [Scorsese's] great films. He gets to do everything he loves about film: noir, dream sequences, suspense, tough urban stuff. It’s absolute madness, twist upon twist.”
Scorsese himself has likened the film to Orson Welles‘ take on Kafka’sThe Trial, or Hitchcock at his weirdest, which sounds pretty darn promising to us. The film’s out on October 9 in the UK and October 2 in the US. Next year’s Oscar race starts here.
