Maggie Gyllenhaal has explained why she decided to model underwear for Agent Provocateur last year. No, it wasn't the money - for Maggie it's all about the art. The fugly bitch said:
They asked me to do it and I said yes, but somehow I never put that together with the fact I’d have to stand around in my underwear getting my picture taken. The pictures are very tongue-in-cheek and have an irony about them, it’s not the same as doing a Victoria’s Secret ad. I felt like I was playing a character, someone who wasn’t me.
I was looking at [the pictures] with Peter Sarsgaard], saying: ‘I don’t think I look like that, that underwear really is good!’ I couldn’t believe how it made me look. The whole thing was a pleasure to do. When they came out, though, I was a bit surprised. Somehow I hadn’t understood that there’d be all these pictures of me out there in my underwear. I did it as an art project.
And my neighbor sometimes pisses in the hallway because he wants to be the Rembrandt of hallway pissers.
Come on Maggie...everyone knows why you really did those pictures - it's because you're a vain woman and you wanted to be flattered. You wanted to soak up people's compliments, not caring whether they came from mere politeness or were actually sincere. You're no different than these pathetic specimens of humanity who put their pics up on MySpace and beg people to tell them they're hot. You really need to get over yourself. And you really, really need to stow all your little claims of artistic ambition. You're in a fucking Batman movie. Sorry, but any indie cred you may have accumulated by doing crazy movies like Secretary is gone now. You're just another careerist Hollywood phony rationalizing her purely self-serving decisions as ones made out of a quirky sense of "irony" or a desire to embark on an artistic exploration. Why don't you take all that money Agent Provocateur gave you for humping their underwear and shove it down your own lying throat?
