Elizabeth Banks is hot stuff and she certainly looks it on the cover of Women’s Health USA this month!
Speaking in the magazine’s September issue, the actress dishes the dirt on the next Hunger Games movie and her excitement about it. “Catching Fire is going to be amazing, I mean it’s such a great movie; it was my favorite book and you know it’s the book in which Katniss Everdeen becomes the heroin of her own life story, culture, society, so I really feel like she’s such a great woman for women and girls to look up to so I’m excited for her to take her place.”
Banks met her husband back in 1992 and has been married since 2003, which is impressive for anyone let alone someone in the film industry. So what’s her secret? “My secret to lasting love is choose well in the beginning,” she says. “Do a lot of homework and laugh a lot; don’t take anything too seriously. You know, we sort of talk a lot about if you’re dreaming about the future then the little thing that’s happening today probably doesn’t matter that much. And always dream about your future together, yeah. That’s the main thing. Don’t live in the past, don’t worry about what happened yesterday; move on.”
Banks came into acting quite late on in her life compared to many other actresses, so what would she be doing is she wasn’t acting? “If I wasn’t an actress I think I would be a doctor. I was really into biology and anatomy—I loved anatomy in high school—and I love just studying the human body, I think it’s kind of fascinating. I love those shows where they get to like, cut people open and you get to see in and I’ll watch a show where they’re performing a brain surgery all day long. I love that stuff; I can’t get enough.”
