The craft of being an actor is often described as being this glamorous gig where parts are falling from the skies and and life goes on between a pilates class and a big bright smile on the red carpet. Too bad, because it’s much more interesting than that.
I’ve always been awed by good actors. And because I’ve found myself having to mimic an emotion in front of the camera once or twice, I realized it’s a real talent and a real job.
And I am a big fan of Rashida Jones.
For her work of course, in The Office, Parks & Rec, The Social Network and I Love You Man for example, but even more since I’ve seen her movie, Celeste & Jesse Forever, that she co-wrote, produced and in which she plays along with Andy Samberg.
But also for everything else, her sense of humor, her style, her coolitude, her political engagement… A real modern woman!
When she told us she’d be happy to talk about her career with us, I jumped with joy (does that sound stupid in English ? It works fine in French :)
I knew she would be open and honest and that we were going to be able to talk about everything.
Then I met her for real and totally fell in love, but that is another story…
What is your profession?
Writer/ actress would be the right thing for now.
