by Luc Vincent, "20 ans" Magazine, March 1997 Slumped in the settee, the daughter of Steven Tyler and Bebe Buell, 19, giggles like a drain, sticks out her tongue every five minutes and plays with her hair. In “That Thing You Do”, Tom Hank’s first movie and silly musical saga on the 60’s, Liv plays the singer’s groupie. You’ve known a lot of things since Cannes and "Stealing beauty" ... (wearily) Above all, I saw about a thousand of people, too much for me anyway. I was with my mom over there, we couldn’t step forward without be assailed. In Tom Hank’s movie, you are in home ground: music, singers, tours ... I’m told this by everybody, but no, I don’t see the connection with my life. The sixties, I haven’t known, even if I’m crazy about the Beatles, the Stones, the Supremes, the Byrds, the Ronettes. I play a normal, ordinary girl, who is from a village. Well, so as me, for that matter (laugh). Would you like to become a singer? I sing, yes. When I was a child, I trained myself to sing in front of the mirror imitating my mom. Become a singer isn’t a priority, but who knows ? Tom Hanks gave me a sublime guitar, an acoustic Gibson. But the strings are so hard that you would need two hands at least to make them vibrate. I let it at Los Angeles, against a wall, I will start doing it again when I get back. Are you aware of the boysbands’s fashion ? What is this crap ?
Well, one "bastard" question, all the same ... ... No, not you, for goodness’sake. I’m insistent, you seems to be going to get married to Joaquin Phoenix, River’s brother ... Married? (she twists her mouth) What piece of malicious gossip is it ? Where did you read that ? You don’t read "National Enquirer" all the same ? Well, well done. No, I don’t get married. And about Joaquin Phoenix, it’s a little right ? That, maybe. (she giggles) Since you’re famous, how did your life change ? The more I work, the more I have a feeling I’m 14. Well, it’s sure, I’m only 19. (she giggles) But I learn to live, too. You have time to do it ? Now, no, I travel too much. But I just moved into my own apartment, without my mom, I have billions of boxes I have to unpack. Are you a good housewife? I cook, I listen music, I watch video, I take some baths, an extravagant life…I like to hunt for antiques too, I love wooden piece of furniture, the beautiful painted little things ... What sort of things shock you in your "star" life ? But I’m shocked everyday. I meet some really strange people in this job, I don’t speak of Tom Hanks, who is an adorable guy. But it’s not the case of everybody: there are some really rotten and pretentious people. Have you met some Superstars ? You mean like Arnold Scharzenegger ? No, I’ve met some lesser famous people but really cool. With who have you been most impressed ? Without hesitating: Pee Wee Herman. I met him at a party in L.A. Yet, I hate both parties and L.A, but this is a digression. Anyway, somebody tell me “Pee Wee is in the room”. And then, I become overexcited, I force my way through the crowd, I charge on him and catch his hand: “I love you since forever, you made my childhood more attractive, all my family is obsessed with you”. He didn’t know who I was, he must have believe I was mad because he looked terrorized. Who would you like to make a film with ? I watch a lot of old-movies and I wish all the people I like are alive. Truffaut, for example. I discovered “Jules et Jim”, it’s incredible. And the little guy in "400 Coups", he is really really beautiful! Oh, he still makes film? My boyfriend is going to be green. You seems to be obsessed with 50’s pin-up, is that right ? Obsessed, not that much, but I like pin-up’s pictures. They’re beautiful with their curves. They look like fruits, some beautiful and ripe fruits, some plums for example. Does the fashion interest you ? Until a certain point. I like clothes, but not the fashion’s world. I love Prada and old-fashion and very women’s thing. Galliano’s imaginative world too, with wigs and things, I like that. And I’m fascinated with underwear, corsets, stockings, things like that. What do you think of your physical appearance ? Today, I’m atrocious. I need a competent make-up artist and a competent hair-dresser. (she giggles) What is your strong point physically ? For goodness’ sake, not that kind of question. Why this torture ? I like my fingers because, when I’m nervous, I can nibble at them, eat a little of skin around nails. Look, I’ve got a bited finger. As a result, I was given a manicurist, it’s cool. And what do you like in your face? My mouth, because I can nibble it. It seems my nose is quite well too. You know, the first time I went to L.A, I was about 15 and I was having lunch at Spago, a chic restaurant on Sunset. And in the toilet, there was an atrocious, fair-haired, rich, pink and all done up old woman who was staring at me in the mirror: "Hey, my little girl, can you give me the name of the surgeon who made you new nose and mouth ?". I was traumatized! Then, all the women are false in L.A ? I don’t know if they are false, but they’re all the same. Me, I don’t care, I live in N-Y, where it’s exactly the opposite: each one want to be different. Anyway, my mom is 43, she looks 25 and I can tell you she isn’t operated. I think the women are beautiful at 40, as soon as they have got wrinkles. Look Jeanne Moreau, she is fantastic, I don’t know if she had been operated, but she is beautiful ... Do you like to be anonymous in N-Y ? Anemic? What an horror! No, no, I’m full of iron, quite the reverse. No, anonymous ... (she giggles) Well, the fans, I drive them away ... No, I’m joking ... Do you want to become the century’s star ? What I want, it’s to go back home and go to bed. |
