Julia Stiles sat down with q's Tom Power during the Toronto International Film Festival to discuss her new film Hustlers. I have mad respect for all of the dancers on set because whatever dancing I've done, I've never done in four-inch stiletto platform shoes. I think that they had some dream sequences where I would be in the scene dancing when the men were unconscious. As the journalist and the eyes and ears for the audience, I'm kind of the judge and jury. I think that there were versions of the Hustlers script where there were kind of weird dream sequences that I was in. On her own dance training and whether or not she still dancesĪlone in my living room? Sure.
When I saw Jessica at a screening in New York, I was like, "Congratulations, how do you feel?" She was more concerned about what the women in real life were going to take away from the film. I think I was largely inspired by Jessica Pressler, who wrote the New York Magazine article - the character that I play. I feel like you could tell this story five different ways. And then I really loved Lorene Scafaria's adaptation of it. So when I was sent the script and saw that it was based on that I was like, oh, yeah, I remember that. I had read the article when it first came out in New York Magazine. “If you had talked to me two or three years ago, I might have been more nervous or more frustrated, but I'm really, really happy where I am now.She joined q's Tom Power at the Toronto International Film Festival to tell us more about Hustlers and to share a little bit about what she remembers of being a teen idol. "A movie like Hustlers to me is such an affirmation that like I have a place in the film industry and stories that I'm interested in are being told,” she said. “And then when Hustlers came along, it was so important for me to seize that opportunity and say, I really want to fight for this.”Ībove all, the film veteran is happy with where her career has taken her after getting her start in acting at such a young age. “In terms of my career, I was kind of bouncing around from project to project without a rudder,” she explained in a September 2019 interview with Katie Couric Media. Julia also joined the cast of Hustlers in 2019, portraying Elizabeth, a role she was adamant about fighting for during her career revival. Their second child, Arlo, arrived in January 2022. One month later, they welcomed their first child together, son Strummer Newcomb.
The Columbia University graduate also experienced some big changes in her personal life, marrying her husband, Preston Cook, in 2017. Julia Stiles Now: Where the Former Teen Icon Is Today
