![]() ![]() Real-life Julia is also, ostensibly, a thoroughbred New York biotch. ![]() “She’s just a really thoroughbred New York biotch.” Like, kick me out, good luck,” she takes a bite of salad. “If that were me, the house would be trashed. She says her similarities to movie Julia are uncanny, but points to a scene where Howard kicks her character out of his apartment, and she leaves it spotless, without a fuss. Fox plays the mistress of Adam Sandler’s Howard Ratner, a New York diamond dealer with a gambling problem. “But when Adam got onboard - his daughter’s name is Sadie - he said that would just be too weird for him.” Fair enough. “Her name was Sadie at first,” Fox explains. “Right now I like Laura Merci- er - Merci- ay.” She has a Long Island lilt like Julia, her character in Uncut Gems, and calls people “baby” like her, too. “Literally such a cluster of things,” she says. but still looks fresh-faced, and laughs when I ask her about her skin-care routine. True to the photos, she’s baby-faced with big, doll eyes and shiny brown hair a scrawl of tiny tattoos and a hot pink bra are visible through the white top she’s wearing. She’d come from back-to-back photo shoots earlier that day, and in the week after we met I saw her on my Instagram feed constantly: a Coney Island cowgirl in Interview a “white trash” Barbie in Paper herself, I think, in the New York Times. She waves my suggestion away and starts digging into a salmon fillet. When I meet her at Lucien in the East Village for lunch, I didn’t know who or what to expect: the former dominatrix in Office Magazine or the sparkly ingenue from Jimmy Kimmel? She’s wrapping up another interview when I get there, and I ask her if she wants a break before we get started. Her work is visceral and masochistic: silk canvases daubed with her own blood, photos of needles in arms, and faces beaten bloody. In her 29 years, she’s flitted from art to fashion to filmmaking to modeling and back to art, publishing books, posing for Playboy, and holding exhibitions along the way. Google “Julia Fox” right now and you’ll see that she’s the “ crown jewel,” “ breakout star,” “ diamond in the rough,” and all-around darling of the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems.īut a few pages in, you’ll find yourself in a Julia Fox K-hole, like I did in the days before meeting her.
