The calls are coming in for UncutGems star Julia Fox—and her ambitions are high
and for a good portion of that time—before they’d even lockedto play the film’s inexhaustible main character, Howard—they already had a leading lady in mind. Her name?Still, as Fox said, Josh Safdie was “just totally fixated” on her; she’d known the Safdies for years, and Josh in particular felt adamant that she was perfect for the role, even as years passed by before the film actually got made.
“I think that she probably initially was drawn to him because he could help her,” Fox posits of her character. “She doesn’t have any family and she’s a hustler kind of on her own. And Howard in a way is also on his own, even though he has his family. He’s very disconnected emotionally from them because he is a sick man.” Julia, she said, keeps Howard “in check.”him, and it did for Fox too. “He was so easy to work with and such an amazing teacher,” Fox said.
“He would also let me shine and do my own thing,” she added. “He really wanted me to shine. And he was so supportive and just such an amazing father, man, husband. He’s just such a great guy—not as Howard, but in real life.” She was similarly fond of the Weeknd, whom she learned is an avid cinephile—“kind of nerdy in a cute way.” But it was Kevin Garnett with whom Fox bonded the most. “I’m obsessed with him,” Fox said. “We became really good friends.” Garnett’s part, in particular, is a strange form of self-parody; his character is a bit of an oddball who becomes completely obsessed with the black opal at the film’s center.
