"It really has to be your passion, and it wasn't my passion."Īcting, she says, is a passion now. "Fashion is just so intense," she continues. She's been a model, a painter, and a photographer, among other endeavors, and an overall downtown multi-hyphenate, who has cycled through the worlds of fashion, partying, and art, making plenty of friends along the way. "It was a full 24/7 hustle, and it was fun, but I'm glad I'm not doing it anymore." The line was Franziska Fox, a New York-based womenswear label Fox founded alongside Briana Andalore circa 2013 - one of Fox's many iterations over the years. "I had a fashion line with my best friend, and the same way that Julia is hustling to get the jewelry on celebrities, that was kind of what I was doing," she says. She inhabits the role easily - by her own admission, 2012 on-screen Julia is not all that unlike 2012 IRL Julia. Fox's character, also named Julia, is the young jewelry entrepreneur and the street-smart mistress of Adam Sandler's hapless Howard. Among the reasons for the anticipation: the promise of a cameo by The Weeknd, a truly frightening Furby diamond chain, and the debut of a scene-stealing newcomer in the form of 27-year-old Fox. Uncut Gems officially opens in theaters on Friday, but Twitter has been buzzing since its premiere at the 2019 Telluride Film Festival back in August. I don't think we're going to talk about Marriage Story in 20 years the same way we talk about Uncut Gems but, you know, whatever." "It is a good movie, so if it had been a shitty movie, I would be a little more pissed. " Marriage Story took home everything," she continues. But Fox is not your run-of-the-mill ingenue. For most actors, that's where the sentence would end, particularly if their film - in this case, Josh and Benny Safdie's Uncut Gems- went home empty-handed. "Last night was good," she says cooly, swirling a bite of room service French toast in whipped cream. Read our five-star review.It's the morning after the 2019 Gotham Awards, and Julia Fox is in high spirits. Which is already what I was telling myself. It sucks now-it’s going to suck even more-but it’s going to pay off. It needs to go back to real politicians: people who know the day-to-day struggles that the masses face, not sit in their little golden towers.ĭon’t change a thing. It’s so sad that we have these billionaires buying their way in. What do you think about Bloomberg entering the presidential race?Īsshole. I have to go out and create my own little world, one that won’t change when I’m not ready for it to. I can’t sit around and be bitter all the time. Julia, this is supposed to be a happy time. All the landmarks of my childhood are no longer there. I hate to be cynical, but I feel like the magic has left the city. New York used to be a place where, if you were different, you were celebrated. I still see glimpses of the old New York, and it makes me sad. I can’t wait to wear sweatpants any time I can.Ī little. We’d just go all night until morning.Īnd you’d be wearing something that you designed yourself? All the other places are closed, so I won’t even mention them. From there, it would be Baby Grand or Casablanca. I grew up with Lucien’s son, Zac, and I’ve been going there my whole life. When you were really in it, what was a typical night out for you? Nightlife is, to me, a little synthetic, a little desperate? I really need to evolve. But the city feels small to me, and I feel like I’ve outgrown it. Will you always call yourself a New Yorker, even after you move to Hollywood? No one else really thought of me as an actor. It’s been five years that he’s been talking to me about this role. “I have to go out and create my own little world, one that won’t change when I’m not ready for it to.” We’re both New York girls, both independent. She’s in control of both, and she dominates any situation that she’s in. She can mutate and change shape, depending on what’s needed of her in the situation. Your character-also named Julia-thrives in social situations. It’s really bustling during the day, and, at night, you can hear a pin drop. But my favorite neighborhood is the Financial District. We wouldn’t have it any other way.Ĭurrently. On the cusp of fame, Fox is cool, mildly cranky and straightforward. She’s been in the NYC limelight for years now, as a teenage scene maker, artist and influencer, before the latter term lost its edge. Meeting me at Ceci-Cela, her favorite coffee house on Delancey, Fox wears the moment loosely (just like she does an all-black Adidas track suit). Playing an equal counterforce to Adam Sandler’s impulsive jeweler in Uncut Gems, Fox positively vibrates off the screen-it’s the kind of arrival that wanna-be stars fantasize about. Unknown for now, Julia Fox is about to go supernova.
