Jennifer Connelly for "Labyrinth" 1986 - Bobbie Wygant Archive

[@agamaz5650]

6:58 the way she says uh huh is one of the cutest things I ever heard

[@DwainDwight]

she has so much poise & grace for a 15 year old. Quite remarkable young lady.

[@Mauser_.]

Her intelligence shines at this young age. Incredible.

[@EdsterIII]

When I first saw this girl...... and I'm the same age, before anyone starts their creeper comments. I was truly amazed at how unbelievably talented she was. Her beauty was obvious. I remember writing her a fan letter telling her that I'd bet that she'd eventually win an Academy Award, and others. I never sent it. She was my first true teenage crush. She has a unusual way of being able to express herself in just a glance. Her eyes, her smile, her smirk, or frown is able to express her feelings in ways others can't. Career Opportunities Jennifer Connelly's ability to do this was being perfected. Everyone has a beauty, but Jennifer Connelly for me anyway had it all.

[@Kim-ss5bb]

Incredible poise and so articulate if only young girls carried themselves like this nowadays, So beautiful then and still is now

[@grahamharper8114]

What an angel, incredibly beautiful.

[@zqueen1229]

She's so cool and professional! She wishes they could still be friends awe!

[@filmneye]

Jennifer Connelly has been acting since she was a child. She had a significant role in Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time in America prior to Labyrinth.

Man the 80s were weird. The interviewer was trying to get some scoop about those two. She was just a child. Love her so much. Such a model actress, human, and woman.

[@sunnystreet4950]

Right?? She was a kid and by all accounts, Bowie saw her as the child she was (she’s the same age as his son) and it’s such a weird thing to even ask.

[@Nominay]

@@sunnystreet4950 It's weird by today's standards, not so much by social standards then.

[@nvlik]

@@Nominay right, especially when the person (like Jennifer) looks really matured in my opinion.

[@joemiranda1404]

Glad I'm not the only one that caught that. Like this entire interview was centered on if she had a crush or this obsession with the idea and trying to pry if anything happened between them off screen. LMFAO! Really weird. Like dang woman he was 38 and she was 14.

[@waynetowers5046]

A few years ago, I went into a Costa Coffee in London (visiting the city up from the North East) on a rainy day, it wasn't busy at all, hardly anyone around. There was someone being served in front of me, myself and a lady behind me, I glanced back out of the corner of my eye, recognised her but didn't think anything of it. I thought to myself, 'Huh... looks a bit like Jennifer Connelly.' As we waited for the guy to be served, she stepped just beside me to take a closer look at the food inside the counter. I got a better look at her and realised it was really her. Without thinking I stammered, 'Oh, hi... Uhmmm... Hi there.' She looked back with a giggling smile and replied with her bubbly soothing voice, 'Hi there!' Rainy today, huh?' I said, 'Aye, certainly is... You're Jennifer... Connelly, aye?' She said, 'Yes. The same.' I then said, 'Oh, very nice to meet you.' & she said, 'It's very nice to meet you, too, uhmmm?....' 'Wayne, I replied. 'Very nice to meet you, Wayne!' As she offered to shake my hand, which we did. We chatted for a little bit, & when it came for my turn to be served I offered her my place in the queue, but she insisted I go before her as I entered before her. What's more, I ordered my coffee, a muffin and a couple of cookies. However, I left my bank card in the hotel room & I had something like £1.10 in my wallet. Embarrassed, feeling like the ground just swallowed me up, I explained to the lady serving me that I can't pay because I left my card at the hotel, not enough change, Jennifer stepped in and said, 'Oh don't worry about it, let me order and I'll pay for us both.' I said, 'No, no, no... Thank you but honestly it's fine, I'll come back later.' After a bit of back and forth she firmly insisted she will pay. I said thank you countless times to her. Chatted a bit more while our orders were being sorted, said our nice to meet yous, thank yous, said bye for now, then we went on our way. I only wish that particular Costa were letting people sit in, they were working on the ceiling ("health and safety"), she even said earlier, 'Oh we're not allowed to sit in?' But, hey... I'm not complaining. What an amazing experience, a very kind, honest, bubbly and friendly person. Glad I didn't say, 'Oh my, I've had a major crush on you since the Labyrinth days.' I didn't go that route. Lol. But yes, what an amazing human, humble, honest, down to earth. It made my life.

[@sunnystreet4950]

What a lovely story, I can see her totally doing that! How lucky that you were able to speak to her. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@waynetowers5046]

@@sunnystreet4950 Thank you. Yes, it's quite a small world we live in. She's an incredibly nice human being. At first, after I asked if she was Jennifer Connelly I thought I wouldn't be too chatty, some people just like to mind their own business and not be bothered (especially if they're famous), but she was actually mega talkative, interested in what I did for a living, asked where I was from because of my Geordie accent (which she was intrigued in), what it was like where I'm from & all. But yeah, I'll never forget it. 😊

[@TimurNurgaliev-yk2bn]

Beginning 7:22 the video cracked me up xD I cried and screamed :D The footages not only have been shot after the interview, but they haven't been pasted in "right places". They just go after the very conversation with JC like: "Damn it! We've got only one camera, but we really want the interview to be edited using 180 degrees rule. Jenna, thank you for your answers. Now we'd like to shoot the interviewer." :D Not to say I'm gloating. I just laugh because of the familiarity of the situation :D Shit, that's hilarious!

Huge respect for Jennifer for being honest about not having a crush on David, that question was shocking given the fact that she was 14 and he was an adult, you could see Jennifer close off and becoming more quiet and practical after that question and very rightfully so, but she still gave a beautiful answer and didn't play along with the joke, pretending that she found it funny. I don't think it was funny at all either. It's actually kind of disturbing. Jennifer is shy and gentle and as an interviewer with that much experience Bobbie should've read the room much better and skip the borderline perverted question for clout. Jennifer is incredibly bright, she gave her the knockout she deserved. Hats off Jen.

I loved her so much in Labyrinth growing up, wish she was in more things. Would have been amazing if they could have made a sequel back then too.... Ive heard there may be one soon in the upcoming couple of years.... hope whoever makes it/ is in it does it justice though. P.s thanks for uploading this, was so interesting to watch, and can hardly believe she was only 15. This was made before I was born, but i saw it as a child, and didnt realise she was only a teen. Really incredible little lady 💗

[@weasley2o13]

It would be interesting if Sarah's teenage son would go into the labyrinth this time, maybe WITH his mom. It'll be a great opportunity for gender reversed roles and to use the labyrinth as a metaphor for times changing and growing up. I know it's unlikely but I do hope they'll go that route.
