Zoe Saldana is on the latest cover of L.A Confidential, the mother of two is photographed by Omar Cruz in a white layered tulle frock on the cover page.
In her exclusive with the magazine, the star actress talks on being a Hollywood mom, Star Trek, Ben Affleck’s Live By Night & lot more .
Asked to play heroine in a periodic movie would not have been Zoe’s first choice, she’s rather futuristic :
“I would have never considered gangster movies. I was like, ‘Me? It’s a period piece—I do more future stuff.’ And then I just told myself, ‘Why not just work with Ben Affleck? Why not just play an Afro-Cuban that sells molasses to make rum in the 1920s in Florida?’ Like, ‘Why not do that?’”
On Embracing Feminity :
“Now I am into being a woman in a different way,” she says after her string of empowered roles. “I react very negatively to feeling vulnerable or having others think that I’m in a vulnerable position. So I’m listening to those fears, and I’m addressing them by playing roles that make me feel more vulnerable. I’m embracing that femininity, that strength, that I used to mistake for weakness.” She admits that when she became a mother—and especially the mother of twins (she and her husband, Italian artist Marco Perego, are parents to two-year-old twin sons, Bowie and Cy)—she expected the doubled-down demands of parenthood to sap her vitality.
She soon proved herself wrong. “I would think it would slow me down, and it hasn’t,” she beams. “I have all this energy now for so many things that I want to do.” “It’s fantastic having twins,” she adds. “This is something that we certainly didn’t plan for. We wanted to start a family, but being blessed with a two-in-one shot is great. I grew up in a family of women. Now I have these three gentlemen who I’m living with, and who are just Mowglis: savages and super playful and spontaneous. I’m encouraged to keep up. I drank the Kool-Aid, and I love it!” See more pix.
