Kate Bosworth Talks About the Industry's Initial Perception of Her

Kate Bosworth looks stunning on the cover of Flaunt magazine‘s latest issue.

Here is what she had to share with the mag:

On the industry’s initial opinion of her: “For so many years I was a young blonde actress, getting pats on the head. ‘Oh you’re cute, can you not have an opinion?’ ‘Oh, you read?’ ‘You got into Princeton?!’”

On falling in love with husband Michael Polish on set: “He can give me a piece of direction that’s so freaking ‘out-there’ and I’ll just understand what he wants. The first scene I did in Big Sur I was nervous and all over the place—Michael affectionately calls it ‘fireworks’ because I was overacting. We were sitting at the dinner table and it’s Jack Kerouac and my character, and she’s in love with him but he’s drunk and f–ked up and crazy at the table in front of her son. Most directors and producers want you to pick up the pace, and you can lose a sense of the magic. But Mike told me not to say anything until I believed it, and I sat there for four and a half minutes, silent, until it clicked and I finished the scene in a way that surprised him but was also just how he wanted it. He called ‘Cut!’ and looked at his first AD and said, ‘I’m going to marry her.’”

On why she’s an actress: “The reason I do what I do is to connect with people. I love the feeling I get when I know I’ve impacted others.”
