Robin wright vanity fair, You won't read a cross word against Sean Penn in Robin Wright's Vanity Fair interview, but she's more than happy to share why she's so into new lover, actor Ben Foster, 34.
"I've never been happier in my life than I am today. Perhaps it's not ladylike (to say), but I've never laughed more, read more, or (had better sex) than with Ben," she says in the interview in the April issue. "He inspires me to be the best of myself.
"There's so much to learn. It's endless. How great! It took me a long time to grow up. Love is possible as life is possible."
No bad reflection on Penn, says Wright, 48. In an e-mail to writer Sam Kashner, she declined to discuss why their marriage broke up, but suggested their union made both of them better.
"I have too much respect for Sean and our two extraordinary children to sell our past joys and woes for public consumption and fodder," she wrote. "I believe we were together not only to have our beautiful children but to learn how to love … for the next time around, the right way."
Her children with Penn are following in their parents' footsteps: Dylan, 23, is modeling for the Gap, and she and her brother, Hopper Jack, 21, "are getting their feet wet in the biz," acting in films coming out next year, she says.
Wright, on the cover in what has become her trademark androgynous haircut, also is happy to discuss her breakout TV role as the scheming Claire Underwood, first lady to Kevin Spacey's murderous president in Netflix's House of Cards.Her performance, plus her wardrobe and look, have helped make her as big a star as Spacey. Together, they have created an anti-hero power couple for our time.
Tom Hanks, her Forrest Gump co-star, says Wright is "the absolute equal" to Spacey in the role.
"Perhaps she even tops his character, because you get a sense of how afraid he is of her, and rightly so," Hanks says. "In a lot of ways, she's like the female version of Bryan Cranston as Walter White in Breaking Bad — someone loaded with secrets and so very self-aware. It's a perfect match of story, character and actor."
And that haircut?
"I was just cutting off damaged hair — too much bleach over months of (appearing in) different movies," Wright explains. "It was a mercy killing, but it works for the character."
The April issue will be available on devices and in New York and Los Angeles on March 12 and on newsstands March 17.
