Elizabeth Banks, who recently starred in the made-in-Toronto thriller
Slither, popped up at the end of last season’s
Scrubs and has a recurring role in the
Spider-Man movies as J. Jonah Jameson’s secretary, Betty Brant.
She’s currently starring in
Invincible as Mark Wahlberg’s love interest.
“I
play a real life character – Janet, who’s Vince Papale’s wife,” she
explains. “The woman of his dreams, the mother of his children, is this
woman Janet, and she’s a total spitfire and she really keeps him on his
toes.”
You look great on the cover of Toro. What would you say if Playboy called?
I
would say, call back in 10 years and see where I’m at. You can never
say no to anything, you know. Never say never. Who knows, maybe I’ll
feel great about myself when I’m 40 and want to show it off before I
hang it up, you know? But right now it’s a “no.” It doesn’t hold any
strong appeal for me right now. And by the way, I got a husband and my
dad’s still around who still works with his buddies… I don’t want his
buddies passing that around.
Guys who are 40-year-old virgins are: a) Pathetic, b) Able to
give the girl the best sex his first time, c) Gay, d) Full of crap?
I
think b). I think if somebody is that pent-up for that long… And there
is something for a woman about teaching, there is something sexy about
taking someone and walking them through the process. You get everything
you want and they don’t know anything yet to make it all about
themselves.
What is one thing you won’t do for a role in a movie: a) Shave
your hair, b) Do a lesbian sex scene in whipped cream, c) Be nude, d)
Act dumb?
I would do all of those things! Never say never.
If I had to choose I would probably choose b) – is that the lesbian sex
scene with the whipped cream? I think because that just sounds a little
cheesy. I think if maybe you said, like, lesbian love scene with like a
waterfall or something… I don’t know. I don’t know what would make that
not cheesy. I just think those kind of scenes always end up kind of
silly. It would have to be something that I believed the character
would do in that moment in that movie.
