Heigl Talks
Glamour!
Starring as the big-hearted blonde on ABC’s wildly popular
Grey’s Anatomy,
Katherine Heigl can also add “
movie star” to her resume, and with the
July issue of
Glamour - now, she’s a cover girl, too!
With the box-office success of her new movie
Knocked Up, the face of the engaged beauty is all over the media. But who is the woman behind all that - well -
glamour? For starters, she’s Mormon, engaged, and doesn’t think she “could ever be a stay-at-home mom.” But that’s only the beginning—the
July issue of
Glamour asks all the right questions, and
Heigl is candid about her fiancé, her religion, her weight, and standing up for her best friend!
On marrying singer Josh Kelley:
“We definitely had chemistry at first sight…I was tired of playing
games, tired of playing it cool, tired of trying to remain in control of my relationships. So I was honest about how I felt, he was honest right back, and within a month and a half I was completely in love with this guy.”
On growing up Mormon:
“…I am really supportive of the Mormon church and so profoundly grateful for the childhood I had. It’s hard work to grow and change and be honest with yourself about your mistakes, and I think that the Mormons handle that beautifully. The faith I grew up with has influenced every decision I’ve made in my life – well except for the bad ones. [laughs]”
On weight issues in Hollywood:
“When I see some of the people who are glorified in magazines these days – who are so thin it’s bordering on sickness – I just feel exhausted. I would hate to think that young girls in high schools across America think that’s what they’re supposed to look like.”
On speaking out against Isaiah Washington’s comments about her best friend and Grey’s Costar T.R. Knight:
“At the time, I was a girl whose best friend had been hurt...I knew I wasn’t playing the political
game – the network wants us to promote a healthy, happy environment, and I’m usually all for that – but that particular incident really infuriated me, and I couldn’t hold my tongue. I think it’s really pathetic there’s still so much bigotry in
2007, and I would speak out again if the situation arose
