Zoe Kravitz Covers 'Nylon' Mag August 2015
Zoe Kravitz takes over the August 2015 issue of Nylon magazine.
The 26-year-old Divergent actress opened up about being friends with Miley Cyrus, black and white culture and more. Check it:
On the dynamics of her racial identity: “I identified with white culture, and I wanted to fit in,. I didn’t identify with black culture, like, I didn’t like Tyler Perry movies, and I wasn’t into hip-hop music. I liked Neil Young. [But things changed]…black culture is so much deeper than that, but unfortunately that is what’s fed through the media. That’s what people see. That’s what I saw. But then I got older and listed to A Tribe Called Quest and watched films with Sidney Poitier, and heard Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. I had to un-brainwash myself. It’s my mission, especially as an actress.”
On pal Miley Cyrus: “I was impressed by how much Miley loves music�you never know with pop stars.� One of my favorite activities is to sit and listen to a record, and at that point I don’t need to talk to you. You find that a lot of people don’t get that. It’s cool when you meet somebody who does.”
Mad Max co-star Nicholas Hoult on their time spent together: “She’s very committed. She draws from lots of different inspiration around her and is dedicated to learning, growing, and pushing herself. One of the highlights was watching Breaking Bad with Zo� while I knitted and she crocheted.”
