Julianne Moore on slapping Madonna: I was super nervous
Julianne Moore stopped by “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen and talked about slapping Madonna in the 1993 movie Body of Evidence…
I was super nervous. I was so, so nervous.
I didn’t actually make contact. It was a fake slap, but she wasn’t talking to me because she was being kind of method-y doing her thing so I felt nervous and scared. I didn’t want to hurt her at all.She was [a method actor] at that time, because she was playing the girlfriend and I was playing the wife. We were supposed to be enemies. She’s always been very nice to me other times. This was just on this movie, so I was very scared of her.’
