Amber Heard is a talented and magnetic rising young actress you might know from the films North Country, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane or the late TV series Hidden Palms. Up next for Ms. Heard are Never Back Down, Remember the Daze and The Pineapple Express. Adoring Amber Heard is a site dedicated to this lovely actress, here we will keep you updated with all the happenings, latest media and much more. Bookmark us and return again soon!
More shots have been added from Amber’s beautiful Saturday Night Magazine photoshoot. I especially love this one. Thanks to everyone who alerted us of these! Futhermore, I’ve also added the article itself, which is a very nice read.
With so many hot, young Hollywood starlets vying for the spotlight, it isn’t easy setting yourself apart from the pack and demonstrating you’ve really got the chops to make it big, but Amber Heard is doing just that. If you haven’t heard (pardon the pun) of this rising star, chances are you will soon. At the ripe old age of 22, Heard is quickly joining the ranks of Hollywood’s sexy leading ladies and has no interest in slowing down. This summer, Heard will star in the much-anticipated Judd-Apatow comedy-thriller Pineapple Express and has a stockpile of juicy projects in the works. With the sex appeal and savvy of a young Angelina Jolie, we think Amber has what it takes to conquer the scene in a big way. This is one name you will soon be hearing often.
We’ve managed to obtain a special, vintage treat of Heard. A scan from the February 2006 magazine i-D. It’s one of my very favorite photoshoots and Amber was promoting North Country that year. She also spoke about You Are Here in which she says the part was wrote for her. This is the only time we’ve read anything from Amber about that movie and since the film has not gotten a release we’re itching to see this, check out the funny quote:
“I play an ex-TV actress from Texas, named Amber of course! She’s a diva, a wild crazy, manipulative drunk! Every personality trait I try to supress…”
Amber is featured in the April issue of GQ magazine (Adriana Lima graces the cover). It’s a drop dead gorgeous new photoshoot and article as well! We have added the five stunning shoot outtakes and capped the behind the scenes video. The article has been added to the library too. Enjoy the gorgeous new goodies!
“Like many of Judd Apatow’s [female] characters, I’m the hysterical bitch—the neurotic girl who’s supposed to counteract what all the cool boys do.” Paging Katherine Heigl! Does Heard have a problem, as Heigl did, with playing a “humorless shrew”? “Shrew or no shrew, it’s funny. And as a woman, I have no problem laughing along.”
TeenHollywood.com has published a lengthy and very interesting interview with Amber Heard, which I’ve added in the library. Be sure to check out the full article here.
“I think it’s the education. I don’t think there are many people who will argue with you about the quality of the education but, other than that, I think it’s a very dangerous thing. School in America in general is conforming enough. We have a very, very strong tendency to fall into that conformity, very easily because it’s the easiest path. I think it’s dangerous to put a young girl in a Catholic school where they teach you to conform and dress the same and it effects your personal life after you leave that school. They’re telling you how to live your life, morality; what to believe, what not to believe and that is scary. It’s literally telling you ‘don’t think for yourself’.”
I was delighted to find Amber among the pages of the April issue of Teen Vogue (Camilla Belle on the cover). Even better it’s a brand new photo and article! Miss Heard looks gorgeous! I have added the two page scans, photoshoot picture and transcribed the article for the library. In it Amber talks about her beauty favorites.
There was a new still from Never Back Down in the Teen Vogue Article and also a small picture of Amber in Allure March 2008.
Amber may be a natural beauty on the outside, but she hopes to prove that there’s more to her than meets the eye, just as her favorite actresses - Hilary Swank and Cate Blanchett - have done. “I want to challenge the audience’s perception of me,” She says.
Cinema Blend has posted a wonderful new interview with Amber. Apparently our girl is shooting The Stepfather during the nights and promoting Never Back Down during the days! Talk about a hard worker! Check out the full article here and a couple of interesting quotes below.
“I think there’s a part when you sign your soul to the devil and start working in Los Angeles that you also sign away that you could be a human being in anyone’s eye. You’re like a robot!”
“It’s funny because I do get a bunch of these roles and as a young woman In Hollywood you tend to get these girlfriend easier than one could imagine. I get them every day and I won’t take a bad film, one that doesn’t make me feel good when I fall asleep at night. But that being said, you do look at a character and sometimes it could never be anything more than 2 dimensional but in this case I play Baja Miller. I play a young girl in high school. There was a certain amount of truth Chris Hauty put into the subtext and back-story that made it easy to build a 3-d character out of the script.”
“Brad Renfro was an amazing person and a very talented artist. One has a lot of respect for those qualities that are kind of rare. The things that tormented him and caused his passing exist everywhere in reality. You go down to the street here in Beverly Hills and there’s somebody affected in the same way, by substance or escapism. It was sad though because he was an artist and he put himself in the public eye and he’s going to be scrutinized. People are going to look at him and say that the industry did this or the drugs or whatever and young people are this way. It’s not just young people. It’s not old people, it’s not only actors. It’s everybody. Everybody knows somebody with a problem.”
Boy we are just getting treated left and right to new Amber articles! Check out this Q&A from IGN here. Amber dishes on Mandy Lane, The Pineapple Express and speaks out about her part in The Informers for the first time, judging from her quotes this will most definitely be interesting to say the least!
On The Informers - IGN: So what can we expect?
“Drugs, sex and rock ‘n’ roll. For everyone. It’s brilliant. It’s really gross – I mean that word very specifically. It’s very real. It’s very gritty. It’s very in your face. It’s about decadent, decadent Hollywood. The nastiest, beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but very powerful.”
“She’s a bad girl. I play Christie and if I say too much, I’ll give away a very important part of the film. She’s very wealthy and she represents a very strong evil. She does drugs and is very promiscuous. It’s like a Crash-type movie with several different storylines linked by my character.”
I have added a really wonderful interview in the press archive, courtesy of LastBroadcast.co.uk (thanks to Will for sending in the link). It is really probably the best interview I’ve ever read of Amber as she’s asked a variety of questions, both about her movies and personal life. She talks about everything from her most recent favorite films to the cancellation of Hidden Palms. Click here to read full interview.
“I loved There Will Be Blood, even though it’s a difficult movie, and Juno. I don’t really notice many strong female writers in Hollywood that aren’t making films just for men but I’m a big fan of Diablo Cody, as a writer and as a person – she’s a very strong, beautiful, intelligent woman who wrote a brilliant, strong, young female character.”
