OlderRachel McAdams for Elle Magazine
Pink-streaked Rachel McAdams is the cover girl for the April 2007 issue of Elle Magazine and gives quite the fascinating interview. For starters, apparently Rachel is 28 according to her mom and not 30 as IMDB reports. And she’s turned down some huge movie roles.
I extrapolated the most interesting paragraph for thine reading pleasure:
“I’m not going to make movies just to make movies,” McAdams says. (She’s turned down loads of roles, including the romantic leads in Mission Impossible 2 and Casino Royale. Anne Hathaway’s part in the Devil Wears Prada, and Agent 99 in the upcoming Get Smart, starring Steve Carell.) “I have to be passionate about it. And at the same time, I can get very distracted when I’m working, and I like to get back to my life a lot — a love-wise life with Ryan Gosling that she fictionalized in The Notebook in 2004 and factualized with him quite a while after the movie. Two years-ish to be exact. She’s a serious sort, not one to have her head spun on a set all flibbertigibbety, hand-feeling the tabloids. They’re a well-matched pair of hearts. She admires him. Her cheeks bloom when she speaks of his Oscar nomination for Half Nelson. “He did such an amazing job,” McAdams says, her voice positively aching. “He worked so hard, too! He never does the same thing twice. He’s very brave. I don’t think he sees the point [in taking a role] unless he can find out what he’s made of every time. He just doesn’t back off. He goes into everything from that place.”
Yes, Rachel is wearing the same Armani Prive dress as Beyonce from The Oscars. AND Rachel is wearing the same Chanel dress as Kirsten Dunst from the Oscars. Rachel looks so much better in it than Kirsten!

ditto. love her (and him!)
Who hasn’t turned down the role in Casino Royale? And what did Eva Green did with it? She won a BAFTA in part because of it. What about The Devil Wears Prada? Nominated for an Oscar. Turning down MI 2 is a good move but to turn down a movie with the now very hot Steve Carell makes me question her ability to actually choose a script. I wonder what is she doing now? Forever languishing in her role as the next big thing when if she had taken the roles she reportedly turned down, she could have been the big thing. She seems more defined by the roles she turned down than she actually did. And those roles mentioned above are not fluffy roles but could make an impact.
By the way the gowns are not very good looking. They looked like a mess.
It looks like Anne Hathaway is picking up Rachel’s left-overs. She accepted two parts (Get Smart and Devil Wears Prada) which Rachel turned down.
She is sooo overrated. She did no justice for the Armani dress and the Chanel number, in fact nobody did any justice with any of those dresses. Why isn’t she making movies anymore, is she in therapy or something?
i THINK SHES SO GREAT. SEEMS VERY DOWN 2 EARTH, LIKE RYAN
She’s an idiot for turning down such roles. Her career isn’t that good to do something that like, who does she think she is Julia Roberts? lol
Beyonce looked a lot better in that dress.
She looks great. U GO RACHEL!!!!
I think both Rachel and Ryan are both great together and can really act. I also respect them because they are not like a lot of Hollywood types and will take any role they can get even if their heart is not into it. I would LOVE to see Rachel do a movie Jake Gyllenhaal, Joaquin Phoenix and Meryl Streep (playing her mother) or something. I think there would be a lot of chemistry as they all take their work seriously and can all play many different roles.
completely overrated is an understatement, but i guess it’s slim pickins these days in hollywood.
