'Glee' star Lea Michelle strikes a pose for the Prestige magazine Hong Kong edition and dishes on a myriad of topics ranging from the making of the movie that made her famous, kissing Ashton Kutcher, being a sex symbol, dating life and many other subjects. Check out some of the most interesting highlights from the interview.
Classy, sultry and confident, actress Lea Michele looks
spectacular on the cover of Prestige magazine Hong Kong edition.
The gorgeous actress looks relaxed and optimistic as she dishes on
exciting behind the scene details concerning 'Glee' along with more
personal aspects. If you've ever wondered how much time it takes
making a single episode of the TV series, the star satisfies this
curiosity.
Turns out just one episode takes over a week:'Each episode takes
eight days. Ten if it’s a longer, heavier episode. And we generally
work about 17 hours a day. Within a day you can be doing one or two
or three hours of shooting, filming, dancing and recording.
Basically I try to explain to people that creating an episode
of Glee is like jumping out of an airplane and falling to
the ground – you learn your lines, you record your songs, you learn
your choreography and we somehow land with our feet on the
ground.'
Still, as we suspected, working on the set is really as much fun as
it looks. This aspect gives her the energy to work and adapt to
challenges: "If I weren’t having fun, because the work is so
hard, there’s no way that I could do it. It’s incredibly
challenging and it’s incredibly taxing. But if it wasn’t fun, I
don’t think that there’d be any physical way that we could get
through how difficult and strenuous it is sometimes."
One might think that all the work put in creating a successful
TV series makes actors seek other forms of entertainment, however
for the star, TV is somewhat of a guilty pleasure, being her
preferred relaxing activity. "It’s all that I really do with
my free time, because I work so much and I’m not really a big
going-out girl.
I don’t go out and I don’t do stuff like that, so for me if I’m not
outside spending some time with friends over a nice dinner, I’m
generally home watching television because it’s just the best way
for me to wind down from my day", she admits. She even considers
reality TV a guilty pleasure: "I will literally watch anything,
from Hoarders to Say Yes to the Dress. Anything like
that. I just think that sort of mindless entertainment really will
get your mind off anything that’s going on in your life."
Asked what it was like working with Ashton Kutcher on 'New Year's
Eve' movie, particularly the kiss scene, she replied: 'He was also
just so helpful with me in being comfortable and just helping me
out, being that it was my first film.' The said scene turned out
one of the easiest: 'The first thing I did was that scene. We
didn’t do it too many times. Garry Marshall is a very fast
director, so maybe we just did it a handful of times.'
Her confidence shines through as she admits being flattered by her
sex symbol status and as she openly admits she has no less than 14
tattoos but keeps her wild
side to herself: 'Do I have a wild side? Well, I do have 14
tattoos. But I also do come home every single night and watch
reality TV with my cat. I’d say for the most part I’m a very
outgoing person. I have a lot of energy. I love being around
people. But I’m not wild in the sense of “going out” wild. I’m much
more homebody. I’m much more being in intimate places with people.
I definitely say I am an outgoing person. I’m an energetic,
spontaneous person. But the wild stuff…if it’s there, it’s
private.'
