The 18-year-old actress and 23-year-old actor, along with costar Emmy Rossum, presented their film earlier in the day with a press conference at the St. Regis Hotel.
“Viola Davis was the first person cast in this film, and I think I was the second or third. That, alone, said something to me. I really love her,” Alice recently told us during a press day in Los Angeles.
“She’s someone who I love because she shows you how you can really just relax and be honest. Honesty is fantastic. Viola showed me how to not need to perform for people and know how to take your own time.”
FYI: Alice wore a Vivienne Westwood dress for the press conference and Givenchy for the premiere.
Alden Ehrenreich keeps it cool in this new feature from the new issue of VMan magazine.
The 23-year-old actor, who plays Ethan Wate in the new Beautiful Creatures flick, opened up about his character, “fame”, and
On his part in the movie: “Richard [LaGravenese, director] left in all the weirdest takes, and that’s just great,…What I’m really grateful for with Beautiful Creatures is that I got to do a movie that has a foundation to it, and I get all the benefits of that without having to sell out. From an acting standpoint, the stuff I get to do in this movie is as exciting as in any movie I’ve ever been up for.”
On his rigorous auditioning schedule: “That’s what sucks about being an actor: if you’re a writer, you write every day, and if you’re a painter, you paint every day, but if you’re an actor, it’s a lot more difficult to create and to act by yourself. Days where I get to audition are days where I get to act.”
On his future and not letting Hollywood get to him: “The main thing is just having your own fire burning, having your own life separate, your happiness unhitched from whether or not you get a part…but I do buy myself a present whenever I don’t get a part I really wanted.”
