Adorable
actress Michelle Williams is Elle magazine's December cover star and the
subject of a fashion spread and rare interview to promote her starring role in
upcoming Marilyn Monroe biopic 'My Week With Marilyn'.
In it, the
two-time Oscar nominee speaks about her hopes and fears for the film, 'I've
never been so hanging on a cliff waiting to hear what people think of a movie';
and the agonising responsibility of portraying such an idol. 'I think after the
second day, I told them they had to take away my passport because I was a
flight risk'.
But the most
poignant part of the interview comes long after the movie talk when the
fiercely private star - whose personal life was made so public following the
sudden death of her ex-partner, and father of her six-year-old daughter
Matilda, Heath Ledger in 2008 - talks about her signature cropped hairstyle:
'What
Matilda would love is for her mum to grow out the cropped hair, though that's
unlikely to happen any time soon.
'I've really
grown into it - I feel like myself with short hair. And it's been a really long
time since I had long hair, five years,' she explains.
'Of course,
the only people who like it are gay men and my girlfriends. Straight men across
the board are not into this hair!'
'I cut it
for the one straight man who has ever liked short hair and I wear it in
memorial of somebody who really loved it.'
Not just a
great haircut, but hands down the best reason we've ever heard for one.
My
Week With Marilyn hits cinemas on November 25. Read the full interview in the
December issue of Elle, on sale Nov 2.
