Shes the unstarriest of megastars but Amy Adams loves the idea of being a diva and is set to play Lois Lane in Summers biggest blockbuster - .
In her exclusive cover interview in the new issue of ELLE, which is on-sale on 5 June, Amy admits that she recently stood for half an hour waiting [at a falafel joint] and no one paid attention.
Its almost unbelievable that a four-time Oscar nominated Hollywood A-Lister with trademark red hair can remain that anonymous. But then, Amy Adams is pretty extraordinary.
Our July cover star started out as a waitress in a musical theatre restaurant, entered the limelight in Catch Me If You Can in 2002 and then disappeared again before finding her stride: I choked. I felt this pressure to suddenly be this level of actress that I wasnt confident enough to be.
Being an actress hasnt made me insecure. I was insecure long before I declared I was an actress. I like not being noticed.It has been a struggle because I love performing, but if Im in a group of people and someone has a bigger personality Im like "Go ahead, and have fun! It looks like a lotta work."'
She also reveals the secret to being low-key, escaping the paparazzi and what it's like feeling out of place at the Oscars: I had an existential crisis at the Oscars, sitting next to Sean Penn and Meryl Streep and being like, What am I doing here? I dont belong here.
