Foolproof star Kristin Booth traded in her heist gear for high
couture during Tribute's cover photo shoot. Here's what the actress
told us about her cover girl moment, her role in the action-packed film
and how she spent her birthday.
How long did it take?
KB: We were there all day. We were there at 9 a.m. and we didn't
leave till 8 p.m. It was pretty crazy and it was my birthday so it was
pretty funny. They were like, 'Oh, I'm really sorry, it's your birthday,'
and I was like, 'Are you kidding? I'm in a Dolce & Gabbana $5,000
dress with Jimmy Choo shoes - I'm fine!' I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
What
is your character Sam like?
KB: She's a young woman who has very few friends and she's kind of
a loner, but what she gets out of Foolproof is this sort of high and the
thrill. She also has these two friends, which, although she's very hard on
them and would never say to them that she loves them, she does. The
friendship is just as important as the game and I think that's what she
realizes in the end. So she has a really nice sort of arc.
What was it like
working with Ryan
Reynolds?
KB: (laughs) Ryan is adorable. He has the best sense of humor and
it is a little dry at times, but I really appreciate good humor, so
working with Ryan was great. He's not only really comedically talented,
but he's also dramatically talented as well, and it was really nice to see
him be able to stretch those legs, and I learned a lot from working with
him. He's a really great guy and a very talented actor.
Did
you do a lot of your own stuntwork in Foolproof?
KB: I did almost all my own stunts. I did the entire elevator shaft
scene. We were harnessed and flying basically. I had to keep myself
against the wall with my own strength because there was nothing there.
Any injuries?
KB: Nothing really serious, but I was covered head to toe in
bruises and I went to a massage therapist that I didn't know. The makeup
artist recommended her to me. When she was massaging me, she said that if
I were comfortable enough, I could talk to her about being in an abusive
relationship! She said, 'I don't mean to pry, but I am a medical
practitioner, so feel it's my duty to ask you,' and I started howling. She
thought it was a reaction. I said, 'No, no, you don't understand!' So,
thank God, the makeup artist was coming in right after me, so she could
verify my story!
