We haven’t seen her in a magazine for a long time!
Christina Ricci has landed on the front of BlackBook‘s October obsessions issue giving the world a glimpse of what’s up her nose.
Luckily the inside spread is MUCH better than the cover with a lot of boob grabbing and fierce high fashion poses.
The actress also dished to the magazine about her life past and present.
Here are some HIGHlights:
On her eating disorder as a teenager:
“I had been really anorexic until I was like 16. They were going to hospitalize me, and I was worried about people force-feeding me through a tube. I didn├óΓé¼Γäót want that, so I fought the disease. I still think about it, but I could never do it again. I remember the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness when I was in the middle of it. My brain had basically become my biggest tormentor. I├óΓé¼Γäód become afraid of myself. I was outed in a magazine article when I was, like, 17, even though I├óΓé¼Γäód been in recovery for about a year. The interviewer talked to a producer, who, being a total jerk, said I wasn├óΓé¼Γäót eating on set. I think that was the thing that caused me to be ridiculously open about everything, so that I never again felt ashamed or embarrassed, or like someone was holding something over me.”
On her rebellious past:
I wasn’t very… marketable back then,” she says, laughing. “I always said crazy shit. I was living in New York, and I was uncomfortable and angry. I was going clubbing all the time, partying with Chloë Sevigny and the cool kids. I woke up one day when I was 19, and it was like I hadn’t seen the sun forever. So I moved to L.A., where it was okay to be responsible, so that I’d stop acting like a crazy maniac.
On her new movie Bel Ami, co-starring Robert Pattinson:
“I read the book when I was 13. It was one of my tutor├óΓé¼Γäós favorite stories, so there was a lot of discussion about it my entire life. Getting the part was one of those things that made me sort of believe in├óΓé¼┬ªwell, fate. But, yeah, Rob├óΓé¼Γäós fans are crazy. We filmed in London, and they were always around base camp, gathered at the barriers.”
She sure has come a long way from playing Wednesday Addams, don’t U think???
