“I’ve always kind of been an outcast. I pride myself in having the ability to go from the Ritz Carlton to the trap house. I’m so many different things in one. I’m like, really, truly a New Yorker,” says UncutGems’s Julia Fox
Photo: Brigitte Lacombe 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.
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. 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’s yawning at our 3 p.m.
Fox just signed with William Morris, but hasn’t yet auditioned for her next role — she’s getting sent a lot of “feminist types of things” but is open to anything, “like a criminal investigator or like a sick hero or like a super villain or something.” Whatever it is, people keep telling her it won’t be like Uncut Gems, a movie that her longtime friend, Josh Safdie, had been talking to her about for years. “I really micromanaged [Julia] because I wanted her to be perfect,” Fox explains.
