It’s part of him that is beautiful and that I want people to know, too.” She adds, “He is the most loved actor I have ever worked with on a movie. And he’s not saintly, and he’s got a big mouth, and he’ll do gross things your nephew would do. But I knew the minute I met him that I would love him the rest of my life.” [AP]

And then he does something so bizarre that I can’t begin to wrap my mind about it.

For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it.” [Rolling Stone]
