Growing up on set put Oscar-winning actor Jennifer Connelly on the fast track to Hollywood fame. But despite her success, one of her lasting regrets was not finishing college – and, she says, it’s still on her to-do list…
ennifer Connelly is on a Zoom call from her home in Brooklyn, jetlagged after attending Louis Vuitton’s pre-fall 2024 show in Shanghai, which does not bode well: she is known to have been reticent in past interviews, and sometimes while working. When she made, the 2001 movie for which she won an Oscar for playing the wife of schizophrenic mathematician John Nash, the co-producer Brian Grazer was unnerved by her reserve.
The shyness is understandable for an actor who got her start in showbiz as a kid. She once confessed to a journalist interviewing her for thethat she tended to act “very bland” in interviews as a form of self-protection. She was a single mum at the time, so had plenty to protect. It can’t have been easy to maintain her privacy, particularly when so much media coverage was focused on her beauty.
Occasionally she will find herself filling out an application form, only to abandon it, unsure what she wants to study. She is interested in American history, “and how it informs where we are now”, but she also flip-flops between science and medicine. “I guess I stopped studying so young that I hadn’t quite figured it out,” she says. “I was still at the point where I was interested in so many different things.
