The female lead belongs to Rosamund Pike. But Emily Ratajkowski has done a very good job at grabbing the attention while promoting the new film Gone Girl, which have an impressive opening weekend.
On Monday the 23-year-old model not only got noticed for looking stunning while wearing a grey cut-out mini dress as she stopped by SiriusXM and The Today Show. The Blurred Lines star also was smart to dish on what it was like kissing her co-star Ben Affleck in the thriller.
’The whole experience was a little surreal,’ the beauty said when asked what it was like to make out with Ben, 42. ‘I have to be honest. Obviously Ben Affleck is one of those – you know his face. I grew up with his face. Not sure if he would love that.
‘I went into an audition and there’s this really tall handsome guy. And I’m like, “Oh my god. That’s Ben Affleck.”’ In addition to that fetching dress, Emily strutted her stuff in strappy open-toe heels and styled her dark hair in sleek and luxurious waves with a side part.
Gone Girl is the brunette’s first feature film.
She plays the college student mistress of Ben’s character, Nick Dunne, whose wife Amy (Pike) vanishes on their fifth wedding anniversary. Her disappearance becomes the focus of an intense media circus and Nick sees the spotlight turned on him when it’s suspected that he may not be innocent.
The flick is based on the bestselling novel by Gillian Flynn and hit theatres October 3. ’It’s funny. I get defensive when people say, ”Oh, you play the mistress,”’ Emily told LA Confidential.
’In my mind, she’s just a girlfriend who really loves her boyfriend and has been taken advantage of and doesn’t realize that. ’Of course, she doesn’t understand the full situation, which really breaks her heart later in the story.’
As for her future? ‘It’s no longer a culture of ”Are you an actress? Are you a model?” Emily said. ‘It’s an overarching ”You are a figure. What do you want to do with yourself?”’
‘I hope in five years that I’m doing both… and have figured out exactly how to manage that!’
