Joanna Coles Assumes and We Listen

Fixation alert! While perusing the October issue of Marie Claire, we noticed that EIC Joanna Coles penned the interview with cover subject Hillary Swank. And while reading the piece, we noticed that this darling EIC (who, turns out, is quite famous in Europe thanks to Running in Heels, which is airing in the middle of the night in places like Ireland) has a certain obsession with, well, debunking assumptions. Behold just a few of the Qs JoCo asked Swank…
“People are so awed by the glamour of famous actresses’ lives–they assume they just sit around in designer gowns all day. Myth?”
“Another myth: Considering you have two Oscars, there is the assumption that you can get any role you want.”
“Audiences might also assume that you’re just too serious for rom-coms.”
“I think people assume you’re a loner.”
“People sometimes assume that celebrity marriages are easier because you’re both more attractive, you have more money…”
“Another assumption about Hilary Swank is that you don’t have a girly-girl bone in your body.”
“Despite all the complaints about the paparazzi, some assume that actors actually court them. Do they go after you?”
“People also assume celebrities are never lonely–they have a posse, an entourage…sometimes it looks like one big party.”
