Julia Stiles: ‘Starstruck’ by Taylor Swift at Party!
A nineties movie star has said she got ‘starstruck’ by Taylor Swift.
Julia Stiles is the actress, recognized for her work alongside Heath Ledger in “10 Things I Hate About You” and with Matt Damon in the “Jason Bourne” film series.
At a gathering, the 43-year-old actress found herself in the presence of the 35-year-old chart-topping pop sensation. She was pleasantly surprised when the woman behind “Shake It Off” went up to her and expressed some genuinely kind words.
At a party, Taylor Swift unexpectedly arrived. Instead of approaching her, I intended to keep my distance, but surprisingly, she approached me instead! She complimented me with some very kind words, as Julia shared with People magazine.
Overwhelmed to the point of not fully comprehending the situation, everything seemed hazy. Yet, I’m certain that I found myself in close proximity to Taylor Swift, and her kindness truly shone through.
In another instance, I’ve openly confessed that I thrive on minimal rest, a secret advantage that undeniably benefits my role as a mom to three energetic bundles of joy and a multitasker in the world of acting and directing.
Inquired about the most recent self-discovery, she responded: ‘I discovered that I can perform effectively with minimal rest, given my roles as a mother and a director. Furthermore, I found out that I excel in juggling multiple tasks simultaneously.’

The actress who played the lead role in Save the Last Dance has just started her career as a director with the release of the romantic drama titled Wish You Were Here.
The movie ‘Wish You Were Here’ narrates the tale of Charlotte (Isabelle Fuhrman), who encounters a passionate night with Adam (Mena Massoud) only to find out the following day that he is terminally ill. Julia interprets the image as symbolizing the vulnerability and transience of human existence.
The star recently shared with Collider: ‘I found it wonderful that it explores the idea of being fortunate to accumulate a lifetime of memories with the one you fall in love with, rather than the common theme in many romantic movies about falling in love at first sight. It also emphasizes the importance of caring for another person, which I believe is particularly relevant in today’s times.’
‘Since I initially read the book, the film seems to have developed an identity of its own. It’s expanded significantly, and one aspect that truly stands out is its exploration of the delicate nature of human existence, emphasizing how each moment matters deeply. Moreover, it presents two interpretations of a love story – the genuine affection they share in real life, as well as the romantic ideals they nurture within their dreams.’
Stiles rarely discusses her late co-star from 10 Things I Hate About You, Heath Ledger, who passed away in 2008. However, she recently opened up about her true feelings regarding the exceptionally talented Australian actor.
Although they shared a strong connection in that ’90s teen movie, it’s important to note that their relationship was purely platonic, as she later clarified.
Stiles remembered Ledger as being ‘very kind and generous’ towards her.
In the initial stages of her Hollywood career, the actress reminisced about the sense of ease he provided her with.
She shared with E! News, “He was extraordinary. He was like a beacon of light. Whenever he entered a room, it seemed to glow.

Julia mentioned, “He was extremely kind and considerate towards me. You understand, for any actress stepping into her first major studio role, feeling at ease with others is crucial.
She then said that Heath ‘was very generous that way.’
After performing in the scene where she recited the poem, the actress commented: ‘I wasn’t anticipating that I would begin to cry, choke up, or tear up – simply put.’
The movie’s conclusion seemed to trigger the end of the production, and I must admit, the entire experience left me deeply affected.
The movie, featuring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Larisa Oleynik, and Andrew Keegan, presents a contemporary adaptation of William Shakespeare’s humorous play ‘The Taming of the Shrew’.
Earlier, Julia expressed her delight that the film had managed to endure for over two decades since its release.

She said: ‘I’m so happy and thrilled that people are still talking about that movie.
For me, this initial major acting role held significant importance. The character resonated deeply with me.
25 years after the performance, knowing that people continue to discuss it is every artist’s cherished aspiration.
On January 22, 2008, Heath tragically passed away in an apartment within New York City, following an unintentional drug overdose after experiencing prolonged periods of both physical and emotional fatigue.
As a lifestyle advisor reflecting on a tragic event, I find myself compelled to share that, at just 28 years old, the remarkable talent who brought The Dark Knight to life succumbed to a lethal mix of substances. Leaving behind his precious two-year-old daughter, whose young life was forever changed by this loss.
Michelle Williams, who had a romantic connection with Heath between 2004 and 2007, following their encounter on the set of Brokeback Mountain, chose to nurture her daughter Matilda in a less public environment.
After Heath’s passing, the actor known for “Blue Valentine” decided to step away from acting and relocated to upstate New York, where he now lives with Matilda.
Previously, she mentioned that the decision was motivated by her aim to create a peaceful living space for her child.
She shared with the New York Post in June 2016 that instead of staying in Brooklyn, we opted to reside in the countryside for a period of six years as urban life had become unbearable for us.
Later on, Michelle chose to go back to New York City and purchased a home in Brooklyn, which was where she resided prior to relocating.
Prior to their separation, Michelle and Heath co-owned a luxurious townhouse valued at approximately $3.6 million, situated in the quaint district of Boerum Hill, which is nestled in the northwest area of the borough.
In a 2012 interview with GQ, Michelle (currently married to theater director Thomas Kail) expressed her desire to provide Matilda with siblings.
