\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tJulia Fox prefers to have an open-book policy when it comes to going under the knife, reflecting on the motivations that once pushed her toward getting plastic surgery. \u201cIt\u2019s super important when you become famous or a public figure to be transparent,\u201d the actress, 35, told Allure in a cover story published on Tuesday, August [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cThis is my dream life \u2014 having a home I bought with my best friend from childhood,\u201d she says, one where the fridge is stocked and there\u2019s no yelling or violence. \u201cWe have a child in the house and animals and it\u2019s messy. But it\u2019s warm and it\u2019s colorful and there\u2019s art everywhere and music playing and it always smells like food because someone\u2019s always cooking. That\u2019s the dream I always dreamt. It wasn\u2019t so much being famous or being a star \u2014 that just happened. This is what I actively worked toward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nIn fact, Fox was the last person to know she was headed for fame. \u201cA lot of people saw it coming more than I did,\u201d she says. \u201cThere was a lot of, like\u2026 \u2018We always knew you were gonna be famous,\u2019\u201d to which she would reply, \u201c\u2018No, I\u2019m not. Like, shut up.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n![\"Julia](\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg)
<\/div>RICHIE SHAZAM<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nI ask how she spends most of her time at home: \u201cDomestic labor, babe,\u201d she says. \u201cCooking, cleaning, bath time, playing \u2014 lots of playing \u2014 dancing, sports, art\u2026 It\u2019s always something, but then at the end of the night, we all get to watch a movie together, and it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, OK, I worked all day for this moment, yay.\u2019\u201d Though Fox may look like the coolest kid at the table, her life structure is an update of that treasured American convention, the nuclear family \u2014 and her version is one she hopes more people will choose, \u201cespecially right now, where there is just so much hostility toward women.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBeing in Fox\u2019s home is like being at a very hip, very laid-back friend\u2019s. There is a crush of footwear near the entryway (it\u2019s a shoes-off house). Valentino scuttles up the stairs. Friends and collaborators (they\u2019re rarely one or the other) shuffle in and out of rooms. The space functions as a sort of collective or commune, a bit how I picture Warhol\u2019s Factory, but more low-key. It is grand but not fancy, clearly a place where people actually live, not a look-but-don\u2019t-touch showpiece.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tJohn Nacion\/Getty Images Julia Fox is getting candid about her sexuality. The Uncut Gems actress, 34, appeared to come out as a lesbian while responding to a viral TikTok video on Monday, July 9. In the original video, a TikTok user said, \u201cI love when I see a lesbian with their boyfriend. It\u2019s like \u2018Aww, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cThe movies and all the amazing things I do are like, Wow,\u201d she says, \u201cbut it doesn\u2019t hit in the same way as the little things. I know people are probably rolling their eyes, but love is important, friendship is important, family is important. Money comes and goes and opportunities come and go. You could be an It Girl this season, and next season you\u2019re nobody. So you have to make sure there are things that do stay forever.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>RICHIE SHAZAM<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe quiet quaintness of Fox\u2019s life may surprise those who know her only from her outrageous wardrobe or preternaturally cool clique of celeb friends, which includes Madonna<\/strong><\/a> and Paris Hilton<\/strong><\/a>. And, oh, yeah, there\u2019s the growing r\u00e9sum\u00e9; She guests on the CBS hit \u2018Elsbeth\u2019 this season (as a \u201cgrief influencer\u201d!), but right now, she\u2019s in the Netflix film \u2018Night Always Comes\u2019 alongside Vanessa Kirby<\/strong><\/a> and soon to be seen in her first studio movie, \u201cHim,\u201d a football horror flick directed by Justin Tipping<\/strong> and produced by Jordan Peele<\/strong><\/a>. She plays Elsie White, the mysterious and possibly sinister wife of an athlete (Marlon Wayans<\/strong><\/a>) at the end of his career. When I ask about the filming experience, that, too, comes back to the feeling of home: \u201cWe bonded like a little family unit, because we were all in New Mexico for quite a while,\u201d she recalls. \u201cSometimes on set there will be people who are a little weird, but on this set, everyone was amazing. Even though the movie\u2019s so scary, the filming process wasn\u2019t giving that at all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nWhen I ask Fox what she thinks the public\u2019s misconceptions about her might be, she says she suspects people think she\u2019s superficial or crazy \u2014 \u201cor that I do drugs or party a lot\u201d \u2014 when in reality, she says, she\u2019s very down-to-earth. \u201cSometimes I see stuff and I\u2019m just like, Wow. If only you knew. I wish I was that exciting and interesting. I\u2019m very much a mom; my life revolves around my child and doing child-centered activities. I\u2019m not this raging party girl that I think people think I am. Sorry. I wish I was, though.\u201d Mostly, she doesn\u2019t really care what people think of her: \u201cI\u2019ve just been me this entire time,\u201d she says. If people think otherwise, \u201cthat\u2019s their business.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nAnyone who read her 2023 memoir, \u2018Down the Drain,\u2019 would know that although, yes, she was a wild child, those days are behind her. She chalks up people\u2019s inability to conceive of her evolution as a misogynistic lack of imagination. \u201cThere\u2019s people that just, you know, hate women and hate anyone who\u2019s different or doesn\u2019t conform, or doesn\u2019t live to please the male gaze,\u201d she says. \u201cThey get offended. That does something to their ego and the way they were raised to believe women should exist. So I\u2019m happy to shatter that for them. If I want to look crazy and put on an unflattering outfit that I think is cool, don\u2019t take it personally. It\u2019s gonna be OK. You\u2019ll survive it. You\u2019ll make it out alive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>RICHIE SHAZAM<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe patriarchy and sexism are ever-present themes, which I imagine impacts the way she parents her son. \u201cYou just need to raise your boys the same way you raise your girls. We put so much more pressure on our girls, and we fill their heads with so much more cautionary tales,\u201d she says. \u201cYou need to be teaching them that they can grow up and their fists can be weapons.\u201d You also need to have difficult conversations, she says, even when your kid is only 4. \u201cWe were watching a movie, and this guy comes out wearing a wedding dress. [Valentino] was like, \u2018Mommy, why is he wearing a dress?\u2019\u201d she says. \u201cAnd I was like, \u2018Well, Uncle Ben wears dresses. If I wore a suit, would that be weird?\u2019 And I saw the wheels turning.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nIt\u2019s exhausting but important work, she admits: \u201cSometimes I\u2019m just like, \u2018Do I really have to do this?\u2019 But no, I do because God forbid he goes out into the world and becomes the exact epitome of everything I hate because I was just like, \u2018It\u2019ll be fine.\u2019 As soon as they start making those remarks, we have to start deconstructing that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThough most of the responsibility falls to her, she says, Fox coparents with her ex-husband, Peter Artemiev<\/strong>, and right now, they\u2019re \u201cin a good patch. In a couple months, he might do something and then we\u2019re not anymore, but compared to a lot of other coparenting situations, mine\u2019s heaven.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n
