You may only know
Abbie Cornish as the person who broke up
Ryan Phillippe and
Reese Witherspoon, but after reading her interview in the September issue of
W magazine, I feel like we'll understand her a little better.
For a woman who rarely talks about her love life, she was a tad candid
about her relationship Ryan. It wasn't just the lure of Hollywood that made the Australian actress move to LA. "I guess I was lucky because it was love that brought me here, not work. I think the city feels and looks a little bit different because of that."
When rumors began to circulate of an off-screen romance with the then married Ryan, Abbie was at a loss. "It was a really difficult time for me. It was just this world of tabloid magazines that I'd never been exposed to. In a normal successful career, someone usually learns these things bit by bit. For me, it was like night and day. I woke up one day and there was this whole new thing I had to process and deal with." She doesn't say much more about the relationship, other than they are not engaged and that she spends quite a bit of time with his children. Don't you remember? She even
goes to t-ball games with them. Now that's cute.
Abbie's most recent film is one that I'm extremely excited about.
Bright Star follows a romance between 19th century Romantic poet John Keats and the love his life Fanny Brawne, played by Abbie. It looks like it's going to be quite good, and the people at Cannes already love it.
However, the movie she's about to start working on seems way less entertaining. She's starring alongside
Vanessa Hudgen's in the
Zack Snyder flick Sucker Punch. You know, that's t
he one that Vanessa is gonna strip in. This movie just keeps getting odder and odder by the second. Like honestly, I don't even know.
Oh my god, I think I'm about to say it... I think a tiny part of me likes Ryan and Abbie more than Reese and
Jake Gyllenhaal. Wow. I feel better now.
