W
ith an award-
winning TV
show, sold-out
international
comedy tours,
a bestselling book and
a few films under her belt,
Amy Schumer has made it –
but that’s not how she sees it!
‘I do not see myself as
a movie star at all,’ the Inside
Amy Schumer star admits. ‘I see
myself as a comedian and writer.
I’ll walk to get coffee and there’ll
be paparazzi, and that stuff is
not fun. I go: “Oh right, I’m
famous,” because I often forget.’
Her latest film offering
Snatched should surely help
the 36-year-old realise her
clout in Tinseltown.
‘Can you believe I made
a movie with Goldie Hawn?’
Amy exclaims. ‘When I read the
script for Snatched, I pictured
Goldie as my mother the whole
time. It’s a comedy with action,
and I don’t think there’s any
funnier actress for the role.’
Amy and her real-life mum
Sandra have had a turbulent
relationship over the years.
‘We were so close until the
age of 12, at which pointI became her mum. That was
when my parents divorced and
my dad was sick with [Multiple
Sclerosis]. It was just too much
for me,’ Amy divulges. ‘In the
last two years, we have had
a reinvention of our relationship.
I made peace with everything
that happened. I am in a really
good place with my mum.’
And Amy’s estimated
$22 million income in
2016 placed her fourth
on the Forbes Highest-
Paid Comedians list- making her the
first female ever
on the list.
‘I did have the
sense growing up
being funny was
for boys, and
I did feel stifled.
It’s really hard.
Women have
always made
me laugh.’
