 Liv Tyler
Interview By: Rocco Passafuime When most people think of Liv Tyler, the words ‘Aerosmith video hottie’ and more tellingly, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler’s daughter would come to mind. But such a limited view of her is so ten years ago and much has changed since then. In that period, Tyler has more than proven she’s more than merely a pretty face with her acting career. She’s attained notable roles in films like Empire Records, Stealing Beauty, That Thing You Do!, Armageddon, Inventing The Abbots, and The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Now at the age of 31, Liv continues to defy expectations with roles in two big movies this summer. The first is as Kristen McCay in the movie The Strangers and the second is as Bruce Banner’s love interest in the long-awaited The Incredible Hulk. The Strangers stars her alongside Scott Speedman, best known from the TV drama Felicity. Tyler first explained to us what made this particular horror film stand apart from many others. “We both read this script and fell in love with it and that was a really well-written story about a couple,” Liv says, “It’s really a drama.

Imagine you got up and looked and there was nothing ever there? Your girlfriend’s in bed and suddenly, one day, you go out and look and there’s a person with a mask on and standing outside with a butcher knife in the living room (chuckling).” Unlike most actors who are rather embarrassed by doing horror movies as they tend to be too cheap and creatively limited most of the time, the actress says she fully embraced the notion of doing a horror film. “When I was a kid, I was pretty obsessed with horror movies,” Tyler claims, “It was my favorite thing to watch and I remember seeing Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the first time and that was like, ‘OK! I’m done with the horror movie genre (laughing)’, because it really scared me so much.” She also notes how deeply realistic the approach of The Strangers, as Tyler alludes to an eerily similar story involving members of her own family. “I remember there was a story right at that time that was quite similar,” she recalls, “My stepfather Todd Rundgren used to live in Woodstock, NY. Two people broke into his house there in the 1970’s and tied he and Bean, his girlfriend, who was pregnant with my brother Rex at the time, to a chair.” “They pistol-whipped Todd, which was horrible and I don’t know what they did, I don’t really remember,” Liv continues, ... |
