Robin Wright: Hollywood Is Hard if You Have Integrity

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Casting, Celebrity Gossip,

Robin Wright thinks that Hollywood is a difficult place "if you have integrity."

The House of Cards star refused to take "wife and arm candy" roles which would have raised her profile, and instead concentrate on raising her daughter Dylan, 23, and son Hopper, 20, with ex-husband Sean Penn while waiting for a properly engaging part to play.

"Hollywood is difficult to navigate if you have integrity, so I opted not to work if there wasn't enough to do in a role, which doesn't have to do with the role's size. If there's nothing for me to do as an actress, that's frustrating ... I'd rather go work at a menial labor job, where I can actually get my hands dirty," she said.

The 48-year-old actress admits her decision to stand back had an affect on her, adding, "In a sense it hurts, because you're like, 'I want to play too!' I just don't want to play that way. I'm not up there with Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts. I don't sell tickets. I've known that for a long time."

Robin Wright Gets It Done in One Take

Robin Wright was relieved when it only took one take to film her sex scenes with Keanu Reeves.

The actress, who recently ended her marriage to Sean Penn, found it hard to shoot parts of her new movie, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, especially when her character had to make love to Keanu’s in the back of a truck.

“Any kind of vulnerability is always hard to do. Just being exposed in that way is difficult. People say it’s hard to do those scenes revealing the blood and soul of your heart, crying. That’s easy-peasy for me. Intimacy is far more challenging. Thank God we did it in one take.”

Robin also revealed she wants fans to start remembering her for her new movies rather than 1994’s Forrest Gump and 1987’s The Princess Bride: “I love those movies, and they’re going to go down in history. They’re iconic. And I love that I’m a part of film history. But, it’s so then, and we’re now. It’s 20, 22 years ago. I’m interested in doing other things.”
