In a new cover story from VARIETY, Amy Adams speaks with Film Reporter Katcy Stephan about growing chin hair, “Nightbitch,” Lois Lane, motherhood, being dorky, and more.
On growing her own chin hair for “Nightbitch”: “The hair on the face — that was mine,” she says proudly. “I saw it as a wonderful expression of the human experience without any artifice or filters. Or tweezers!” She adds, “I have that kind of hair that just grows overnight. One day it’s not there, and the next day it’s like I’m a catfish. That might turn some people away
On her physical appearance in “Nightbitch”: “I’ve had people be like, ‘Oh my gosh, you looked awful.I was like,‘You do realize that’s what I look like in my life, right?’”
On her “Nightbitch” character, who sometimes turns into a dog: “I love the metaphor of her connecting with a more primal and feral side of herself in order to learn how to let go and be present and engaged and flexible and find her joy.”
On Rachel Brosnahan taking over the role of Lois Lane: “I love her. She’s gonna be great. Hopefully the role will be infused with her sensibility and her natural humor and strength and wit.”
On motherhood: “Every moment needed to be dedicated to the care and keeping of my child,” she says, adding that, while her relationship with Le Gallo was “more equitable” than the marriage in “Nightbitch,” it was tough to be the first of her friend group to become a mother. “Motherhood did redirect my priorities. And I think that changed some relationships. That was hard, but I don’t think it’s uncommon.”
On not wanting to be called “cool”: “I’m dorky, and I’m OK with it.”
