Rooney Mara | Mert & Marcus | US Vogue November 2011 | 'Playing with Fire'
/
‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ actress Rooney Mara opens her mouth for her November 2011 interview Vogue US’s Jonathan Van Meter and moves pronto from AOC Style to Private Studio. This girl has a sexy brain behind those pretty dresses. Taking on “arguably the most coveted role for an actress since Scarlett O’hara” Mara reflects on — ahem — the poster.
Mara and I drop back to give Fincher some privacy—though we can still hear snippets of his conversation. “It wasn’t supposed to be released!” he says into the phone. Mara laughs. “I think they are talking about my boobs right now,” she says with deadpan resignation. Turns out an explicit version of the movie poster, in which Mara’s breasts (and pierced nipple) are exposed, was leaked on the Internet today. “There’s a certain way people are used to seeing nude women, and that’s in a submissive, coy pose, not looking at the camera,” Mara says. “And in this poster, I’m looking dead into the camera with no expression on my face.” She smiles and flicks a cigarette into the street. “I think it freaks a lot of people out.”
Love this girl, given our emerging discussion of female submission! OK, back to the clothes, styled by Tonne Goodman and lensed beautifully by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggot.
