| CITAZIONE You model, act and sing. How do you find time for all these activities?
“Hmmmmm, well, I don’t know. Maybe I don’t have time for anything else but those activities. If I’m modeling, I focus my mind on modeling, if I’m acting I focus my mind on acting and if I’m singing I focus my mind on singing. That’s how it is.”
I’m curious…When did you realize that you are beautiful?
“Hmmmmm, I don’t know. When I was little, my mom would often say to me, ‘Hi, pretty girl!’ But growing up, I’ve never really thought about that. I’ve never really given it too much importance or anything.”
How do you feel when you look at the mirror?
“I just see myself as I am, whether I’m made up or not. I don’t think there’s anything extraordinary about how I look. I’m happy with myself and I’m proud of myself.”
How do you feel being considered one of the most beautiful, one of the most glamorous and one of the sexiest women in the world?
“Well, I don’t really look at myself that way but if that’s how people consider me, then I accept the ‘honor,’ thank you, but I don’t let it go to my head.”
You’re a fashion icon. Where or from whom did you get your taste for nice clothes?
“I really learned a lot about fashion in New York. In my show, there’s a lot of fashion.”
Oh, you mean Gossip Girl, of course!
“Yes, Gossip Girl.”
You’re perfect for the role. How are you similar to or different from Blair Waldorf?
“She’s actually a funny character who has a lot of class. And she’s grounded. Actually, I’m nothing like her. She grew up with a lot of money, somewhat spoiled and immature in some ways, and I’m not like that at all.”
As a Penshoppe endorser, you will wear the brand in your shows, I suppose.
“Yes, I will! As you can see, I’m wearing one now and I’m comfortable in it.”
How do you keep that kind of body? What kind of diet do you follow, what workout do you do and how much sleep do you get per night?
“The thing is accepting what you are, and eat right and healthy. And be active. That’s all I do. I practice yoga. I don’t work out that much, really.”
As a model for Wilhelmina, you once had a pictorial with Sofia Coppola who was then a photographer (and who was acclaimed for Lost In Translation which she directed by Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson as stars). How would you like to do a movie with her?
“I was very young then, I was only 14. I’ve never seen her again since then. But I saw Lost in Translation and I love it! I’m sure someday we‘re going to work together again.”
Your Gossip Girl co-star Ed Westwick is also a Penshoppe endorser. In fact, he came here last year for the shoot. What did he tell you about the Philippines?
“Well, he told me how beautiful the country is. He said, ‘Go, it’s great out there! It’s awesome!’ He told me many more interesting things about the Philippines.” (Besides Gossip Girl, Leighton has also worked with Westwick in a Nikon Coolpix series camera advertisement and both of them were endorsers for a Korean clothing line.)
Could you tell us about your new movie, That’s My Boy?
“It’s very funny and it’s coming out soon. It’s awesome acting with Adam Sandler.”
If you were to change anything in your life what would it be?
“I’m enjoying a good karma and I’m very, very lucky. I’m happy with what I’m doing, so I don’t think I would change anything.”source |
