On Eve of Oscars, 'Zero Dark Thirty's' Jessica Chastain Is Finally Able to Relax

THR's awards analyst Scott Feinberg interviews Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain. From joining a dance troupe at an early age to getting in to Juilliard and starring in Kathryn Bigelow's 'Zero Dark Thirty', Jessica opens up about her career.

[@fernando1343]

Jessica is such an inspiration, her story is not only relatable to people pursuing a career as an actor but to everyone who at some point felt like giving up because they did not see the results of their labor, she is the proof that with hard work eventually you will get those results. And she is incredible at what she does, it has been three years since this interview happened and every single one of those years she has given us incredible performances in incredible films. Bravo Jessica.

Incredible girl. Flowers bloom when they bloom. Never give up on your dreams.

She got so emotional by the end of the interview, you can hear and see that she tries very hard not to cry, her eye was reddish and her voice shaky. She can breathe she made it. I love her!

[@lambydelrey]

I just read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and I just couldnt stop imagining Jessica as Celia St. James! She would be perfect for the role if they were to make it a movie!!!!!

[@Liderc22]

She's insanely beautiful, it's a bummer she didn't break into the industry until her mid thirties. I know that sounds bad, but it's like i feel like she could have been doing films for the last 10 years like Jennifer Lawrence, who isn't half the actor Jessica is.

[@detectivehawk4976]

Who knows if she would've been good back then ? I feel like the longer it took her to break into the industry, the more and more skills she attained. She's amazing now

[@cityofchamps66]

You mean Kathryn Bigelow

[@Mb-eo6bg]

If she became successful young. Her career would’ve ended just after 30. She looks more attractive now than when she was young.

[@motjon]

@@Mb-eo6bg she truly aged like fine wine

[@oscarxp25]

Her childhood: the love of the movies, the daydreaming, and shyness...I was the same way. Maybe that is why I admire her so much.

[@lisarogers3393]

Thank you Al Pacino for recognizing great talent! Jessica kicks butt and takes down names! I love this beautiful lady. Can’t wait to see more of her work. She wins in my book.

[@user-yr3ik4dr2j]

One the best interviews I've seen.....so honest and almost visceral!!

[@iloveneytiri]

Yep a genuine beauty, smile is perfect, amazing skin, incredible hair. Incredibly beautiful. Also has the best laugh i've ever heard!!

[@drewlflip]

So talented, gorgeous, and very intellectual. Triple threat

[@alanzaizar4732]

Very, very inspiring to hear this! I have already been such a big fan of Jessica Chastain but after watching this video I have gained so many more levels of respect for her!

[@bill9540]

What a fantastic interview…a classic☺️

[@lelexy2000]

Love this interview

[@ExoticDreams]

THE Jessica to pay attention to. So many women in Hollywood don't deserve the title of "actress", and it's so refreshing to see a beautiful woman who can "act."

[@LLL417]

What a great interview. I've been a huge fan of her.

[@ColinZeal01]

Huge Crush on her. Hope she get´s the recognition she deserves.

[@eamonkerrigan9286]

Great interview from a great actress!! Chiselled would be an understatement!!

[@margaritaalvarezlaorga1759]

"Something really beautiful has happened in the past 10 days. I'm starting to feel like, 'OK, I can breathe. It's OK.'" On this I offer her my warmest congratulations

[@koky3040]

shes perfect

[@tdog790]

she's just amazing!

[@vicmelepres136]

i love her she is so hot

[@evgeniy8695]

Jessica is the best actress alive !!!

[@TheJasonVlogShow]

I Love Jessica Chastain

[@JessicaChastainFan]

Jessica Chastain LOVES Temple of Doom. That's it. If she was perfect before, she's GODLY now. ❤

[@dennislurvey3235]

The only inaccuracy I can see in Zero is the explosion event. That would have triggered trauma that would have internal issues like not being able to sleep and not being able to keep your food down. PTSD affects the whole body. Terms like 'scared shitless' come from trauma affecting the digestive process. I experienced incoming rockets in Vietnam and have never been the same.

[@shair00]

yes sir, hell she should marry us both!

[@ruthlessferocity1058]

WITHOUT DOUBT, Nada Bakos is the "Maya" character in the movie Zero Dark Thirty. 100% CERTAIN

[@acropol]

What does she say she was watching in 19:05?

[@UncleJoeofAmerica]

I wish the Academy would let her win the Oscar

[@user-yr3ik4dr2j]

Wow!!!! To be in a position to have to choose between David Mamet an Al Pacino.....

[@DanThePhilosopher]

She is beautiful and smart and women like. The guy that gets to be Boyfriend or husband is one lucky Dude.

[@EleniEliades_]

wqzxsqqq . Why assume that ? Perhaps she prefers women. . .love is love and it always surprises us when it occurs ~

[@vicmelepres136]

what's vhs?

[@Onmysheet]

A movie.

[@terriblecrayon]

hehe

[@waigi444]

🥺🥺🥺

[@shair00]

I know guys say alot of actresses are hot and some ladies consider that word disrespectful so Im going to say this. In my 45 years Ive seen less than 5 women who come even close to how good looking this woman is. I am a sucker for redheads but she really is the prettiest woman ive ever seen.

[@kristofersigmarsson]

hi =)

[@Marissa-ys4qp]

She should have won the oscar

[@ryanrichardson9915]

Julliard girl. I never knew Kevin Bacon and Val Kilmer went to Julliard either.

[@jluciano855]

The Person who dislike this video, probally needs a New Mouse or a New Mouse Pad for clicking on dislike accidentally.

[@georgestephenson6185]

She should have won (but Jennifer Lawrence is good too)

[@Avasive]

Indiana Chastain

[@nsesite]

[@shair00]
