Amy Adams Allure Cover: Lois Lane, Hollywood Diets and More
“perfect isn’t normal, nor is it interesting”
On her beauty routine: I have no features without makeup. I am pale. I have blonde lashes. You could just paint my face—it’s like a blank canvas. It can be great for what I do. I can’t wax because bad things happen. So I shave. I use Eucerin Calming Body Wash instead of shaving cream, and I don’t get razor burn anymore. It’s not its intended use, but I want to keep talking about it, because I’m afraid they’ll discontinue it.
On dieting in Hollywood: Some of these actresses or public personas who are very public about their disciplined diets, more power to them. I just don’t see the point. Do you know, the people I love as actresses, I’ve never, ever sought out pictures of them to see what they look like in a swimsuit. I’m just not going to be one of those people photographed in a bikini where people are like, “OMG, look at Amy!” I mean, it might be OMG, but not for the reasons I want.
On playing Lois Lane: I’ve wanted to be in a superhero movie, and this was my best chance – as some mere mortal. Let’s be real here. I don’t look that good in Lycra. I do all right, but I hadn’t anticipated that I was ever going to be cast as the girl in Lycra looking hot.
