Jessica Biel stars in the 1930′s period piece Easy Virtue, and she channels every last drop of that era for the June/July 2009 issue of Gotham.    Do you have something to fan yourself with?  Good, because you are going to need it!  Jessica is smoking hot!

A few highlights from the accompanying interview…

On her Easy Virtue character, Larita Whittaker:

“I thought she was pretty amazing.  She’s so effortlessly witty and sarcastic and fantastic and glamorous and tough—all the characteristics that I want to be as an actual woman. And she’s cool as a cucumber…but at the same time extremely vulnerable, and a real person who is hurt by these experiences. She’s not just a stone.”

On having achieved sex symbol status:

“I don’t really think about those things and think, Oooh, yay—I’ve made a mark, all right.  But balancing the idea of being very sexy and then also being really attainable, kind of like a girl-next-door quality, is I think really important. To be able to bounce back and forth. [Because sometimes] the interesting characters are dark, conflicted…tortured souls; those are the characters I’m most interested in playing.”

On what she loves about New York:

“I really like just wandering around, finding a shop, sitting down, having a coffee, reading something, getting lost, grabbing a cab.  That’s so fun.”

I’ve got to admit, Jessica is growing on me.   She seems to be getting more real with time.  Or maybe her beau Justin Timberlake is a good influence on her!
