I didn?t excerpt every interesting part of Brendan Fraser?s GQ interview, but I did include a few of his quotes about how his body was basically destroyed from years of doing so many stunt-heavy films, and how it?s taken years of surgery and healing to even get back to a place where he can just? move and exist. Fraser talked about how no one really cared that he was messing up his body so profoundly. I happened to read that Fraser piece the same day I read this Megan Fox interview, where she talks about the similar feeling of just being ?used up? by Hollywood, that no one really cares about your health or welfare or mental state. Some highlights (she?s promoting her Frederick?s of Hollywood deal, which is why she?s talking about lingerie, btw).
Her schedule with her sons: “[Brian] does the morning routine with them and takes them to school and I usually pick them up. We try to make it to a movie once a week or have an adult lunch so that everything isn’t always kid-centered. I try to make a rule let’s not talk about the kids, but it’s impossible.”
She doesn?t wear lingerie ?for? Brian Austin Green: “I don’t do anything for my partner. Everything I do is for myself,. I think the whole point of lingerie is to help you feel more confident in expressing who you are, it shouldn’t be so much about parading around for someone else.”
Her diet: “I eat organic all the time. I drink at least 100 ounces of water a day and I drink less than 8 ounces of coffee a day.”
How she thinks about the industry: She believes that Hollywood is “morally bankrupt? there’s not a lot of concern about what’s right for individuals. As long as you survive filming and they’ve gotten what they need from you they don’t really care if you drop dead afterwards. It doesn’t matter if you break an arm or you break a leg. You can get really sick as long as you are not bleeding from your face you are going to keep working and people don’t understand that. There’s no regard for your safety or your physical well-being at all because it doesn’t matter because you are a means to an end.”

Her comments about the rights of individual actors perfectly dovetails with what Fraser said, and what Uma Thurman said about the stunt-gone-wrong on Kill Bill too. It?s about the lack of respect for someone?s well-being, the lack of protections in place. This is the role the Screen Actors Guild and actors? agents and lawyers should play in the system, but I get the feeling that there are so many gaps. I also get the feeling that? Megan has some stories. A lot of stories.

I?ve read a lot of Jennifer Lawrence?s interviews over the years, and let me tell you something: she?s not dumb. Not at all. She?s very sharp, very witty and self-aware. But she is also uneducated, which explains some of her idiosyncrasies, you know? She wasn?t forged in a Disney lab. She didn?t grow up in a studio-education system, nor did she seem to even concern herself with having any kind of fallback. I don?t even think she was ever really a ?struggling actress? – she worked consistently even before she really broke out at a young age. But during that entire time, she had a secret: she didn?t even finish middle school, and she?s never even bothered to her her GED. Some quotes from her 60 Minutes interview:
Middle-school dropout: “I dropped out of middle school. I don’t technically have a GED or a diploma. I am self-educated.?
Whether she regrets dropping out of school: “No. I really don’t. I wanted to forge my own path. I found what I wanted to do, and I didn’t want anything getting in the way of it. Even friends, for many years, were not as important to me as my career. I mean, from the age of 14.”
School wasn?t easy for her: “I struggled through school. I never felt very smart. And when I’m reading the script and I feel like I know exactly what it would look like if somebody felt that way, that was the whole part of my brain that I didn’t even know existed?something that I could be confident in and I didn’t want to let it go. It was just an overwhelming feeling of ‘I get this. This is what I was meant to do.? And to get people to try to understand that, when you’re 14 years old wanting to drop out of school and do this, and your parents are just like ?You’re out of your mind.’”
[From E! News]
I don?t want to put words in her mouth or make some kind of dumb armchair-diagnosis, but I suspect that she didn?t feel ?dumb? as much as she felt bored in school. She?s quick and, I suspect, borderline ADHD. The kind of structured, traditional school environment probably felt suffocating to her but she didn?t know how to verbalize that feeling.
Now, all that being said, stay in school, kids! Yes, Jennifer Lawrence doesn?t even have a GED and she?s an Oscar-winning actress making tens of millions of dollars a year, but for every J-Law story, there are like 20,000 stories of school dropouts who can?t even get a job at McDonald?s.
Jennifer Lawrence says she dropped out of middle school. The Oscar-winning actress tells Bill Whitaker she didn't want anything getting in the way of her career. Sunday on 60 Minutes.https://t.co/BgAj4TcRiV pic.twitter.com/MjzH5Bgu8d
