Zoe Kravitz on celebrity gossip: I dont like it. Its bizarre to me
Zoe Kravitz got a little feature in the March issue of Allure (the one with Victoria Beckham and her hairless legs on the cover). She’s promoting the March release of Divergent. Zoe also appears in the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road that keeps getting pushed back and won’t come out until 2015. So this interview is really about Divergent.
Zoe plays Christina, a Dauntless pledge originally from the Candor faction. From what I remember about the book, the Candor were really annoying. They never hold anything back and have to say what’s on their minds at all times. Zoe says she’s a lot like her character, which seems surprising. I’ve been a little annoyed with her attitude before, but then I realized she was BFF with Jennifer Lawrence, which makes Zoe a cool chick by association. Plus her mom and dad (Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz) are the coolest of the cool. Speaking of her dad, Zoe confirms his claim that she steals his boas and fashion. It must be awesome to have a stylish dad. Mine still wears Burt Convy sweaters (sorry, dad). Here are some excerpts from Allure:
Her Divergent character: “She kind of has foot-in-mouth syndrome. She says whatever comes to mind.”
Is she like her character: “Yes. I will always play the obnoxious girl.”
She loves action movies: “When I think of girls in superhero films, I think of girls that I don’t look like. But that’s changing a bit, which is awesome. And they’re really fun to make, honestly.”
Her dad behaves like a Jewish mother: “He’s very proud and very excited whenever I do anything. He takes pictures and asks questions. It’s very sweet.”
Why she named her band Lolawolf: “It’s my brother’s and sister’s names put together. They’re four and five. [My music] turned out to be some kind of ’80s pop.”
Her personal style: “I’m into a ’70s feel right now. I’ve been wearing a lot of blues, bell-bottoms, sweatshirts, and stuff, kind of like Jodie Foster in Freaky Friday. I go to a lot of vintage stores, a lot of flea markets. I love finding one-of-a-kind treasures.”
She really stole Lenny’s boas: “Yeah, I do. They’re beautiful. They’re all in my apartment.”
On interest in her dating life: “Yeah. I don’t like it. It’s bizarre to me that people spend so much time talking about other people they don’t even know. There’s a lot more stuff to pay attention to rather than who I’m going to dinner with.”

Zoe has dated several famous men including Penn Badgley and Kaiser’s ex-boyfriend, Michael Fassbender. She’s been rumored to have hooked up with both Chris Pine and Drake as well. Zoe has a right to be frustrated with people caring about her romantic interests, but that comes with the celebrity territory. She could avoid some attention by pulling a ScarJo and dating non-famous dudes, but that presents difficulties too. I think Zoe needs to let us have our celebrity gossip. If she doesn’t want to be a person of interest, she could always go civilian.
