Jennifer Connelly Couldn’t Stand the Pressure
Where’s Jennifer Connelly been hiding you ask? She’s had starring roles in films such as He’s Just Not That Into You and The Labyrinth but is barely heard of these days. She even won an Oscar for her performance in the critically acclaimed A Beautiful Mind, but her success was quickly clouded by the critically panned 2002 Hulk film directed by Ang Lee. It was a total flop.
And it looks like the pressures of fame just got to her. She admitted that after walking on stage to receive her Oscar: “I remember looking up and seeing the sign that said you only had 45 seconds to speak and just feeling shocked by the exposure.” Talking in an interview with The Telegraph, she continued: “It made me feel quite shallow. You just don’t know what to expect up there.” These days she’d prefer to focus on her family life.
