Zoe Kravitz: "I used to be embarrassed by famous parents, now I steal their clothes."

'I used to be embarrassed by my mom and dad - now I steal their clothes': Zoe Kravitz on fashion, fame and A-list parents

The actress, 22, who stars in X-Men First Class is the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet. In a rare interview she lifts the lid on her surprisingly normal childhood...

By Tamara Abraham

Last updated at 9:32 PM on 2nd June 2011

She counts Jay Z and Alexander Wang among her best friends, and is daughter of two of America's biggest stars, but Zoe Kravitz want you to know she's no It girl.


The 22-year-old, who is set to star in this summer's blockbuster X-Men First Class admits in a new interview that 'all that It girl s**t makes me kind of uncomfortable.'


She tells ASOS magazine: 'Fame has become this obsession for people, which kind of creeps me out.'

She admits, like most kids, she used to cringe at the way her parents dressed.


'I used to be a little embarrassed by how [my mom] and my dad would dress, but now I steal their clothes all the time. My dad has totally taken my Cat Stevens T-shirt, but It's OK I have his Black Flag one and that's amazing.'


She even unknowingly spent money on pieces her mother had donated to a local vintage boutique: 'She took a bunch of stuff down while I was away, and I went there when I got back and bought five of her things.


'I got home and was like, "I can't believe I just paid for your clothes!" Out of everything in the store I bought my mother's things.'


She also discussed her reclusive mother's decision to step away from the limelight.


'She walked away from being famous because she didn't really care about it,' she explained. 'She is the most true artist I have met. She doesn't change for anybody...


'I admire her so much - and the fact that she's my mom is just so cool!'


Miss Kravitz appears to have inherited both Ms Bonet's acting skills and her father's musical talent.


She has her own band, Elevator Flight - 'we don't have a record deal, but we're playing it by ear' - and has appeared in a number of movies already including No Reservations with Catherine Zeta Jones.


The latest instalment ofthe X-Men franchise is, of course, her most high-profile to date.


She appears alongside January Jones and James McAvoy, as well as her boyfriend, Michael Fassbender, who she met during filming.


'I feel like sometimes if you do a film with "movie stars" there's all this drama and superiority, but X-Men was not like that at all.


'We were living in London for four months and it was like X-Men summer camp, so we all hung out at each others houses after filming [and] went to pubs.'


The interview with Zoe Kravitz appears in the latest issue of ASOS magazine and on Asos.com

She's cool, she seems like she has a good head on her shoulders - I agree with her about the fame thing.

She looks exactly like her dad, like got himself pregnant or something. lol

sweething

I love this young lady. She seems unaffected by the glitz of the seedy side of Hollywood. She's beautiful and solid. Her parents did an exceptinal job with her in spite of all that seems to eat up Hollywood's offspring. wink

I once saw an interview with her where she was asked to describe her style and says her style is "I don't give a fuck". I like her. lol

With parents like Lisa and Lenny she was born cool already....she's got her pops face and the rest of her total vibe is all Lisa circa the 1980's mixed with with Lenny's rock edge.

I've heard her band..they weren't doing too much for me but wish her luck with that all the same.

So glad she's finally breaking into the big movies now...she's been doing her thing in the indie scene and has great potential.

This picture's funny. Lisa looks kinda tired, don't blame her though she's got at least 2 more by dude on the left (gawd, he's fine to me, goofy looking in this picture but still) at home. Don't know much about Zoe, she's cute though seems pretty balanced, definitely going to see the XMen this weekend.

Real cool picture. I agree, Lisa's man is gorgeous. Lisa's aged real well and of course Lenny's still a bad-ass. cool

He is fine.

I remember swooning over him when he was on one of the Baywatch spin off shows on T.V in the late 90's. Baywatch Hawaii or some shit like that. He had short hair then and his body is beyond ridiculous.

Well Lisa has perfected that "garbage can chic" look for years before the Olsen twins could even spell Garbage. Some times it does look like she hasn't showered in days but I love her stinky ass all the same. lol. She pulls it off.

Nice to know that they all seem to get along fine, considering how much Lisa meant to Lenny back in the day. I know it´s been ages but still....I don´t think it´s easy to be cool with your love of your life´s new lover.

I like how they all get along with each other, it's cool. I know that Lisa and Lenny consider themselves close friends now, but I do get what Kool is saying too. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in the back of Lenny's mind now and then he could possibly think "damn I fucked up back then" but for the most part all the water is under the bridge and I think they all have made peace with the past and embraced the present and future...which explains how well they all get along.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.
