Rachel Zegler Covers The New Issue Of Harper’s Bazaar UK
Rachel Zegler is on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar UK. The young actress is on the cover to celebrate her amazing year of West End theater in Evita. Highlights from her interview are below.
On dealing with the scrutiny of being a woman in Hollywood: in “Honestly, the way people comment on women’s bodies and their faces, no matter what we say or do… It’s going to have an effect on how we perceive ourselves and the way we choose to age. Everybody’s doing everything they can to prevent ageing, and I don’t want to do that. It’s proof you’ve been here and lived a life. I have a mum who embraced that – she refuses to dye her hair because she loves her greys, and I love that about her. That’s the example I have going forward.”
On her rigorous routine while performing on the West End: “I lived like a nun. I got crazy about it, but I’d steam constantly and have a humidifier on at night, because the voice is just such a fickle muscle. And I only had alcohol maybe once every two weeks – just one extra-dirty vodka martini after the Saturday-evening shows.”
On her life now: “I made smart decisions by doing major franchises and whatever came my way. I could have gone in the arthouse direction and maybe I’d have got more critical acclaim earlier on but, ultimately, freedom is a great choice. I’ve picked things that gave me the financial stability to do independent movies and 12 weeks of London theatre.”
