Jessica Chestyne appeared on the Hollywood Sky recently. First, only passing roles in the series, and then it suddenly noticed large directors and began to actively call in their projects. At the same time, on the castings, the girl continued to confine that her appearance was too old-fashioned. But now every movie is Chestain - one hundred percent hit. Perhaps because she is confident in his abilities and believes that girls, if they really want, is absolutely absolutely?
"Jessica, now you have already five nominations for the" Golden Globe "and one victory. Probably managed to get used to?
- Not at all. The first nomination happened in 2012 for the film "Delivery", and now they are already five. And for such a short time: only six years passed! Fair? Yes, I'm shocked!
"Let's talk a little about the film for which you nominated," a big game. " His heroine Molly Bloom was a successful skier, but after the leg injury unexpectedly decided to arrange poker games for VIPs. Was it interesting to play such a character?
- Initially, I generally did not hear about it, and this is a real person. And they say she insisted that I played it. I do not know, the truth is or not, but I don't care. So, Aaron Sorkin sent me a script - and he shook me. I began to look for information about Molly, read her book. I remember that in the whole story I was particularly struck by the fact that men are ready to accept a woman in their world only if it causes sexual interest. Intellect, ambitions - all this is not important. It sounds just a nightmare, but such is life! And I try to change these creepy stereotypes for many years. Think, in the film, people constantly point to Molly, what to wear. That is, at first she only slightly changes his appearance under their dictation, adding a note of sexuality, and then no longer sees the face. In court she has to remember what it means to dress normally.

- So the outfits in this film are very important?
- Yes exactly. At the beginning of the picture, Molly even says: "For the sake of the first game, I bought a dress in which it does not look like." Clothing changes man. It becomes his mask. I told a lot about it with Molly himself, when I was preparing for the role. And she said that sexual outfits in the men's world make you noticeable. Otherwise you are just invisible. We have to dress as you wanted to, but the goal is being pursued quite different - not to find a man, but to draw attention to yourself so that you are doing business with you. I do not condemn it at all. Woman should be upset as she wants. Show so much bare body as it is comfortable. But no one should dictate to her that wearing to be successful. She can wear anything! And Molly twice in the film declare that she is dressed in incomprehension and it would be necessary to change the suit. This is a bad tone, I think. Such advice people should leave with them, if only the woman herself does not ask opinions.
- About poker Did you know something before the movie?
- I was complete zero. (Laughs.) But it is repeated with each picture. When I played the lobbyist Elizabeth Sloan in the "big game Sloan", I had to learn all these political words. But before that, there was a "number one goal" about the liquidation of Bin Laden, and, of course, a new vocabulary again - this time Slang CIA. It will always be so, and it is inevitable: it is impossible to be the pros in all areas. Your task is to quickly understand, otherwise the public will understand that you pronounce wise words, but in fact you do not understand anything. People do not like when they are deceived.
- How did you work with Aaron Sorokin?
- I will not delve it, he is the best screenwriter in Hollywood. For his directorial debut could choose any story. And he decided to make a film about a strong heroine. In fact, this is not nonsense. I know a bunch of mastted directors who are successful in the profession and stamps the hits are already more than thirty years old, while they have no paintings about a woman! I can't even understand this. Are we uninteresting? That is why I started working with Aaron with such a joy, this film is really important for understanding the female images in the movies.

- Is there a difference in how you are preparing for the role of a real person and fiction?
- Of course have. With a real person, especially if he is still alive, you can talk. But when you think up the image, you need to work yourself. For example, preparing for the role of Sloan, I studied the lobbyists. It was important for me to create a character that will be as much as possible to me.
- Now you play all dramatic roles. And in comedy would like to be held?
- Type as in "servant"? Of course! By the way, when I studied in Giulard, I constantly participated in student comedies. I liked it insanely. In the end, the emotions that you worry on the set, influence you. If it is an eternal fear or tears - there is nothing to be surprised that you will quickly die. But the joy and laughter can not get bored. So yes, I am now looking for a suitable comedy project.
- What does fame mean for you?
- I try to strictly distinguish your personal life and work. For example, there are restaurants in Los Ange-Forest and New York, where photographers will probably find themselves, - I will not go there for anything. If I'm not moving in the film and do not engage in progress, it becomes extremely difficult for me to find. I just live the usual life as possible. Mostly, people understand my desire to leave personal personal - and there are no problems. But at the wedding there was just a nightmare! (Jessica is married to a businessman Jian Luke Passion Di prepacked. - Approx. Aut.). I did not expect this! Helicopters were circled everywhere, Paparazzi rushed through the fence and climbed trees. I had to take that this is part of the most glory. It is good that it happens rarely.

- You collaborated with many women directors, for example, with Catherine Bigelou over "Number One". Are there any differences in their work method?
- I would not share them. The ability to tell the story is what is really important. Therefore, I can not say that all films should be filmed by women, and agitate for it, but at the same time it is worth recognizing that women are able to create successful films in a wide variety of genres. Militants, adventures, fantastic blockbusters - we are all under power. Also, by the way, like men, can shoot excellent romantic comedies. There are no sex restrictions that we were driven into the heads for years.
- Therefore, the number of strong women played by you is increasing and increases?
- Yes, I adore heroines who challenge society. And since I myself am a woman, then this character is simply obliged to be female. In the past, ladies in the movies were very one-dimensional, they did not attach much importance. So, beautiful picture against the background of the main character. Now everything is different: the heroines are complex, they have strengths and flaws, complex stories ... they are multidimensional. They were much more interesting to play. In addition, every woman with whom I communicate while working, also a bright, self-sufficient person, a real professional of his business. So men have long time to move.
- That is, the situation begins to change ...
- Sure. From birth, girls inspired that they were easy to replace, so you need to stay with all your hands and legs for work, my husband and everything you have. And then the other will take, listen and watch. (Laughs.) If you want something more - forget, there is a limit of women's opportunities. Agree, it is hard to live in a world where you cannot declare your rights. I think the changes began to occur precisely because women are just tired of it. They combined efforts to achieve equality together. At first there were few them, but then others began to join, and everything became slowly to get. In general, I am a zealine feminist. Of course, I do not go to the barricades, but I think that my roles matter. For example, looking at InterStellar or Martian, the girl may well want to become an astronaut or quantum physicist. It is important to show strong heroines that achieve success in life and in work. This gives an excellent example of a new generation. In general, I always wanted to be an actress. The first bright role I remember is Sigurney Weaver in the "Alien". Probably, that is why I always considered the cinema as a way to destroy gender stereotypes.

- Maybe someone from their native influenced your beliefs?
- Once the great-grandmother told me that a woman cannot drive a car. I was surprised to listen to how it turns out, it is difficult to press gas and brake, and that I can not sit behind the steering wheel. Not the ladies this matter. (Smiles.) And then it seemed to me that I could do whatever. As part of the law, of course. (Laughs.) And no one has the right to limit me.
- Family supported your decision to become an actress?
- Yes, they are very proud of it. In general, I was the first of my relatives to get a higher education. But the main ally and support was Grandma Marilyn. Sometimes it seems to me that I am filming the cinema to please her. I drive her to the premieres and introduce your famous actors. For example, Al Pacino presented. His photo for a long time stood at her grandmother near the bed. True, not so long ago there was still an image of Matthew McConaja ...
- Probably, each journalist asks you a question about age ...
- necessarily. And certainly asks how many exactly me for me, I never call real numbers. Now I, let's say, forty one. Yes, quite a few. And often I feel like such old. To be honest, this feeling does not leave me the last ten years. Actually, during this time everything has changed. In 2011, five successful films came out at once with my participation - and they began to recognize me on the streets. I was then thirty, when otherwise more successful actresses are thinking about whether it is time to gather on peace, because the best is left behind. (Laughs.) And for me everything just started! I have a rather strange relationship with age. My younger sister ended up with me twenty-four. We then talked little, she lived far and, as it turned out, suffered from serious depression. This changed me: my ideas about luck, money, career, relationships and, of course, the age of steel by others. I began to live otherwise, as they say often - one day. In the end, what does this remover figure in the passport affect? Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Did not take in the picture - nothing terrible. Changed the guy - survival.
- Is there any other question that you constantly ask and which you just can't tolerate?
- There is such a thing! In fact, every year and with each new film they are becoming more and more - you can already write in notepad. (Laughs.) But the first I will remember forever. It was a press conference on the "Tree of Life", I was then a little-known actress, which was lucky to get into such a large project. And there was a Brad Pitt. Well, naturally, with each convenient case, I was asked what it was like to kiss him? Guys, well, what are you just just work! I understand that he is a star, but it is impossible to think so trite. By the way, I didn't want to start me at the casting to the "Tree Life" at all. Type As can actor Brad Pitt level, is not clear with whom! But nothing, broke away. (Smiles.) And after the release of the picture I woke up the famous.

- You're still a conspirator, honestly. Nobody does not even know where you were born ...
- I just have my own life. I myself chose all this noise and constant control of paparazzi. My friends want to live calmly. But I do not hide biographical data. (Laughs.) I have already told about my sister, there are still four brothers who are studying at school. We, to put it mildly, a poor family: Mom works as a cook, and stepfather - firefighters. When I enrolled in Giulard, they were delighted and upset at the same time. They had no money to pay for my studies. But I, fortunately, received a grant from the Robin Williams Foundation. But thank him so did not have time. Honestly, just shy. After his death, she still found a way to make his own: I constantly translate money into his foundation so that other talented, but low-income young men and girls could also study in Giulard. It seems to me that gratitude is one of the most important qualities. We must appreciate when you help. But here I am a little crap, because I stop help from my parents, as soon as I went to learn. They were so hard. Therefore, I removed the tiny apartments and laid out money on envelopes: "For an apartment", "for the phone", "on the products" ... and only a couple of years ago I bought my own housing. About my personal life I also try not to tell a lot. It seems to be in Hollywood, my secretion became a parable in the towns. Now, of course, nothing will be exhausted - I got married.
- What about your rule do not meet with actors? That is why you chose a completely different profession?
- I really have such a rule. I want to be sure what is known thanks to my work, and not because I meet with some star. Well, it is worth noting one fact: to walk on dates with the stars solid torment - constant outbreaks of cameras, even eat and talk normally do not give. In general, it was always difficult for me to find a satellite of life, because my stepfather is a fireman and a real hero, I compare everyone with him. Husband, thank God, has nothing to do with the cinema (he is director of the Moncler brand), so you can not worry that he wants to get acquainted with Stephen Spielberg or Robert Rodriguez. (Laughs.) I am very happy with him. I think our Union for a long time. Hope so.
- That is, you can wait for the emergence of children?
- Yes, I really want this. I love children! Probably when they appear, I will be a career, and children will be the center of my life. If only not to turn into a crazy mother, which runs for his crumbs in the playground and yells: "Sammy, quickly button jacket!" (Laughs.) But if I don't become my mother, I also do not tragedy. So there will be other magic things in life. I do not think that women who decided not to have children are necessarily not right and they should not condemn them. Everyone has their own choice.
- Sounds pompous, but what do you see your heritage in cinema?
- I try not to think about it. Time will tell. It seems to me much more important, whether I am satisfied with what I do right now, and whether I have to change the world at least a little. Yes, I also poured ponsorably. (Smiles.)
