There are countless people like her who insist on her love, and her struggle experience is not even worth mentioning in the eyes of many people, but the happiness and encouragement she brings to people is priceless.
Pistachio-like presence
Happiness
Now people often sigh that domestic entertainment is boring, and the hot search is either who wears what dress, or who plays the TV series in business CP, and there is less and less realism of a big living person.
But recently Hollywood has been bustling, and in addition to gossip, the audience is more concerned about the lucky ones who won the Emmys.
Spider-Man's Dutch brother's girlfriend Zendaya broke the record, and after being blocked for the second time at the age of 26; Lee Jung-jae, who won the "Emperor of Sight" with "Squid Game", became the first Asian to win an Emmy Award... But the most eye-catching thing has to be Jennifer Kuric who played Sophie in "Bankruptcy Sisters".
You may not be familiar with her name, but if you hear her shouting "Hi, everybody!" every time she appears, "Hi, everybody!" ", you will suddenly realize that she is the poisonous and arrogant but soft-hearted Sophie.
Her nonsense Polish horror stories have left a shadow in the hearts of many viewers.
Poisonous tongue like her, when sisters encounter difficulties in starting a business, she will directly take out a check of 20,000 to help.
"Take it, whatever you want to use it to fulfill your dreams, or go to the beauty salon to remove hair."
But Sophie isn't the only character she's famous for.
At the age of 38, she was known to the audience for her role as a graceful blonde mature woman in "American Pie".
But before that, she had played countless supporting roles and was praised by the American media as "the most underrated comedy genius of all time."
In addition to Sophie in "Bankruptcy Sisters", you can also see her in many classic American dramas, Paulette in "Legally Blonde", Amanda in "Friends"...
Now, at the age of 61, she won an Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Limited Series for "White Lotus Resort", her first award.
When he took the stage to receive the award, the applause was thunderous.
She said that she had taken a lavender bath before she came, the skin was unfolded, and her clothes were about to burst, so now she was nervous and couldn't even speak.
Because of the time-out of the acceptance speech, the organizer directly played music to urge her to finish quickly, she protested to no avail, who knew that she actually twisted up with the music until the music stopped.
But most of the Hollywood stars in the audience are not only not dissatisfied with this, but also amused.
Some people say that this is really exactly what Sophie will do, and if you don't blow up all the rules according to the routine, it is simply Sophie Benfi.
Although many viewers still can't remember her real name, they can always remember the Sophie who brings happiness when she appears.
Although Jennifer was also quite charming when she was young, in the beautiful Hollywood, her appearance was not brilliant, and she was even a little old.
When she auditioned at the age of 30, she was asked to play the mother of an 18-year-old boy, but Jennifer was not bothered, and even joked about her childhood: "I always looked old, and when I was 11 I bought a case of beer with a neighbor's wig." ”
She had a dream of being an actress since she was a child, and after graduating from high school, she attended Emerson College and then the American Theater Academy in New York.
While attending school in New York, she also worked with future Oscar winner Sandra Bullock while working as a waitress in a restaurant.
At that time, Jennifer always wanted to be an acting school like Meryl Streep, but who knew that fate arranged for her to become a comedian.
Like many new actors who enter the industry, Jennifer's career began with a trick because of her limited appearance.
With blonde hair, she has played "Spice Boy Cop" and sexy nun, but mostly small roles that are fixed stereotypes, "People think I can only play certain types of roles." Like playing the lady who comes in, opening a door, saying something funny, and then closing it, you're like a comedian being locked in a box performing. ”
The audition was not always smooth, and once even when I was still in the toilet, I was notified by the director through the toilet door that the audition failed.
It was not until 1999 that Jennifer encountered a movie that changed her acting career, and it is also the youth enlightenment film "American Pie" in many people's hearts.
In this movie, she plays the mother of a pair of brothers, Ginny Steve, with blonde hair, plump and sexy, who loves to hook up with young people, and this bold breakthrough role made her famous in one fell swoop.
Although she is mostly a funny character on screen, she takes each role to the extreme and is not bored by the audience.
Director Eugene Levy once recommended her to other companies for her cameo in "American Pie", "Her performance is very jumpy, even if she jumps from one shot to another, it will not be easy to make people play, and there are not many people who have the ability to do this." ”
Jennifer has also received more roles worthy of challenge, although most of them are still supporting roles, but with her unique acting skills, she has made herself an irreplaceable role in the hearts of the audience.
In "Legally Blonde", she is the nail sister who the heroine will talk to her when she falls out of love, with blonde hair clumsy and cute.
In the face of the boy she had a crush on, she didn't know how to show favor, so she asked the heroine for advice, and the female bishop bent down to attract the attention of the boy, but Jennifer's funny body language made this role a classic.
Because Sister A likes her so much, she even re-enacts the classic scenes from the movie in her music MV "Thank u, Next".
In "Friends", she is Chandler's sexy ex-girlfriend, and as soon as she speaks, she makes people feel very owed, "My scent is not perfume, it is body fragrance; My little waist is not practiced, oh, born. ”
But the audience just couldn't hate her.
But in the face of her recognized role, Jennifer acted nonchalantly, "Some people say they like the girl I played in "Friends", but I forgot that I played "Friends". ”
She is always creating new classics with her own uniqueness rather than classics.
Polish King Kong Barbie Sophie in "The Bankruptcy Sisters", Madman Amanda in "Sex and the City", blonde stepmother Fiona in "The Story of Cinderella"...
Sex and the City
The story of Cinderella
Although most of the time is a supporting role, Jennifer has never had any reluctance and complaint, "My ten-year audition career is not a job many times, but when you are used to failure, you are no longer afraid." ”
Among the many roles Jennifer has played, Sophie in "Bankruptcy Sisters" is her most out-of-the-circle role, not only stunning appearance, but also bold and surprising language.
The mistress who seduced Oleg asked her who she was, and she threatened domineeringly: "I am the last person you saw before you lost your legs." ”
Satirizing the stars in the circle, it is even sharper and poisonous, "The old lady does not rely on show circle money." ”
In fact, Jennifer in real life is simply Sophie Benffield, and every time she speaks, she can make the audience laugh crazy.
She once shared the stupid things she did when she was young on "The Kelly Clayson Show".
When she went on vacation to Hawaii, she met two cute boys, the two boys were good brothers, and she wanted both, so she lied that she had an identical twin sister, and then dated two handsome guys at the same time every day.
The host was surprised and asked if she would not be debunked?
Jennifer replied, "Yes, so I only lasted a week."
Everyone was happy to lean forward and back, but Jennifer was still stable output: "If you change to now, I guess I can't act." When I was young, I could do whatever I wanted. ”
In this era of appearance anxiety, Jennifer believes that the definition of beauty should not be limited.
She said that when she was a child, she could always guess who the queen of the prom was, but now, anyone can become a prom queen without any restrictions.
Even though many people always say that "appearance is justice", especially in the environment of the entertainment industry, Jennifer is particularly confident, she said that many people she knows with good looks are boring, "They are really super boring, and they themselves do not realize that they are boring people." ”
Then it was humorously reversed: unless you 'sleep' with that good-looking person, that's still funny.
Although she is a late bloomer and has always played the role of a blonde brainless woman on the screen, she has always been able to be self-consistent.
"I'm the only one who hasn't become wise as I get older."
She doesn't mind being called a "sexy" by others, and even appreciates that "American Pie" made her a sexy icon, "Thank God for letting me play that role, if I didn't have this role, my life would be boring." As a single woman, I love the benefits and fun of this role, which allowed me to sleep 200 more people. ”
She even has been encouraging girls not to be afraid of getting old, she said that she only began to enjoy the happiness of life at the age of 40, not only seriously living to delight herself, but also only dating young boys, comparable to Xiao Yaxuan, who makes many people envious.
Don't look at Jennifer has played more supporting roles than the protagonist in more than 30 years in the industry, but she is a well-known good person in the circle, not only her acting skills are recognized by juniors, but her character is also greatly appreciated.
Jennifer Lawrence, known as the eldest cousin, has won the Oscar 3 times, but said that it would be his honor to play her in the biography.
Although she always speaks amazingly, she is very serious about charity in life.
She is good friends with drag queen Juno Birch and often attends drag parties to raise money for AIDS, because she loves animals, and Birch praises her as the cutest and kindest person, "She is so funny in real life and has always supported my cross-dressing." ”
In addition, she often donates in the field of animal rights, and one of her dogs, Chuy, is a pet dog rescued from a meat factory in South Korea.
And perhaps it is such a rich and multifaceted she that has combined to become the most unique Jennifer in the world.
Now Jennifer is 61 years old, unmarried and childless, this seemingly impossible age to create miracles, but she broke the curse of age and created miracles with her actions.
Although when a director's friend invited her to play "White Lotus Resort", she also refused the opportunity to play Tanya because of her low self-esteem and thought that her figure was not good enough, she still chose to challenge bravely.
Fortunately, her bravery led her to the best results of her life.
"One of the right things I've done in my life is that I've made some great friends. If Mike had never succeeded, we might have just performed White Lotus Resort in a small theater, the kind that everyone could watch for $10, but it would still be one of the best things in my life. Because it's a great job, and everyone else thinks I can't do it. ”
"White Lotus Resort" brought her more work, she made blockbusters and appeared in magazines, but she still loves her acting career, whether it is the lead role or supporting role, she wants to continue acting.
Even two years ago, she thought that she could not continue her acting career, and she did not despair of life, but wanted to open a flower shop to make life fragrant.
When not working,
She will enjoy her life in a humorous way.
Hide behind greenery and taste red wine;
swimming in the pool wearing a blonde wig;
Nestled at home watching a movie with your beloved dog by your side.
She loves life and insists on her career to bring happiness to countless audiences, even if she plays a supporting role for a lifetime, she will be the most unique heroine in people's hearts.
