OK! SPOTLIGHT


Anna Faris Is Unqualified, was soon a hit.
‘No topic is off limits for us,’ she shares.
‘Honest and, hopefully, really good advice
is our goal. Sure, we’re fun and joke around,
but when we’re listening to callers, we’re
100 per cent there for them.’
And the mum-of-one admits she finds
her role on the podcast cathartic. ‘I like
talking to strangers, and I like escaping
the Hollywood bubble. I think that’s really
rewarding to me, and our guests find it really
rewarding,’ she tells. ‘I think as celebrities,
you end up talking about yourself a whole
lot and sometimes it’s really nice to talk
about other people’s lives.’

THE SPLIT THAT BROKE HOLLYWOOD
It was the break-up that Hollywood didn’t
see coming. Anna and Chris, 38, announced
in August that they were ‘legally separating’,
after eight years as husband and wife.
‘We tried hard for a long time, and we’re
really disappointed,’ the couple shared in
a statement on social media. ‘Our son has
two parents who love him very much and
for his sake we want to keep this situation
as private as possible moving forward.
We still have love for each other, will always
cherish our time together and continue to
have the deepest respect for one another.’
Often flying under the radar, the duo
preferred to keep their relationship relatively
low-profile. ‘We get each other because even
though we met under the lights of Hollywood,
we’re from the same place,’ Anna once shared
of their union. ‘We both know the same trees
and smells and birds. It sounds corny, but
those are things that ground us in everything
outside of Hollywood.’
But while the pair were there to support
one another at red carpet events and
award shows, Anna hinted shortly
after their split that there were
always underlying issues in
the marriage. ‘Life is too

THE OG
COMEDY QUEEN
With a host of funny flicks up
her sleeve, including four Scary
Movie films, you’d think Anna Faris
has a flair for making people laugh.
But not according to her uni roomie!
‘When my college roommate saw
Scary Movie... she said, “That’s
so weird you were cast, because
you are not funny,”’ Anna
reveals. Umm, we
beg to differ!

WHAT WENT WRONG?
Despite insisting they split on good terms, fans
have started to wonder if Chris’ relationships
with his female co-stars took a toll on their
marriage. ‘Of course I’m going to feel vulnerable,’
Anna revealed last year of the rumours of Chris’
affection for his Passengers co-star Jennifer
Lawrence. ‘It made me feel incredibly insecure.’
