A Single Man star Julianne Moore covers the Spring 2010 issue of T Magazine. Here’s what the 49-year-old has to say:
On designer and A Single Man director Tom Ford:
I met him in 1998, right after my son was born. Tom made a dress for me for the Oscars, the first time I was nominated, for Boogie Nights. Tom was unbelievably charming and handsome and normal, not scary, which surprised me because he was one of the first designers I’d ever met. He made me a really beautiful black chiffon dress that kind of had an empire waist. Because I’d just had a baby, my boobs were really big. I didn’t feel confident enough to wear it. But Tom was incredibly gracious. He said, “I don’t care — wear it, don’t wear it — it’s just a dress,’ ” And that was the beginning of my friendship with Tom.
On nudity and if her children watch her movies:
No. My children don’t watch my movies. First of all, they’re not interested and, secondly, my movies are not for children. As an actor, you’re trying to portray the human condition and sometimes we don’t wear clothes. I made a movie called Chloe and there’s a great deal of sexual material in it. The director, Atom Egoyan, said: “You know, people do this. And when they do it, they’re usually nude.”
