Amanda Peet, who currently stars in the blockbuster 2012, takes the December 2009 cover of Self Magazine. on NY/LA stands on Thursday. Here’s what the 37-year-old actress shared:
Her fantasy body pick: “If I could choose and ideal body, I’d take Gisele Bundchen’s. I challenge anyone to say she wouldn’t want Giselle’s body, deep down. Actually, I’d take a number of people’s bodies. I’d take Jennifer Aniston’s too. I want boobs, a gentle six-pack and a perky butt.”
On her secret crush: “I’m obsessed with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. If she knew how much she was in my household late at night or in the wee hours of the morning, she might be disturbed! [My screenwriter husband David Benioff] a and I both have a crush on her.”
On parenting her two year-old daughter Frankie: “You have to put your oxygen mask before you put on others’. It’s a good metaphor for parenting, but it’s really hard to do sometimes. A lot of women feel that if they’re exerting energy in different areas of their life or are really passionate about other things, it’s automatically detrimental to the child.”
