November 16, 2011
Just a year ago, Paula Patton never would have slipped into a barely there outfit to straddle a pommel horse in front of a camera.
The occasional innocent bra shot? Sure. But steamy sexual provocation, complete with come-hither eyes and generous amounts of skin? Not a chance.
From the outside looking in, Patton’s insecurities seem ridiculous. For one thing, she’s drop-dead gorgeous. She’s also a respected actress who’s graced romantic comedies (Just Wright, Jumping the Broom) and critical darlings (Déjà Vu, Precious) alike. Off screen, she and husband Robin Thicke—the Grammy Award–winning singer and songwriter—keep on giving lovesick fools hope by maintaining one of Hollywood’s most functional celebrity marriages. (Their first child, Julian Fuego, was born April 2010.)
Her unforgettable performance in Thicke’s steamy “Lost Without You” video shows she’s not exactly as shy as she claims to be.
Still, the Los Angeles native was never comfortable disrobing for anyone else’s visual pleasure.
But she’s never had a lead role in a blockbuster like Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol either. Sharing screen time with Tom Cruise in the fourth installment of the mega-successful spy franchise, Patton has found her confidence skyrocketing.
She’s packing heat and beating down bad guys. It’s the kind of role that very few actresses get to tackle, and Patton knows it. No wonder she’s feeling better than ever about herself. And when she feels good, we feel good, too.
It’s safe to say that Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol is the biggest film of your career so far. Not every actress gets to be in a franchise that’s earned over $4 billion worldwide.
Making Mission: Impossible was a dream come true. It challenged me as an actor because it’s so technical. Any time you’re challenged you get better. I learned so much from working with Tom Cruise—it was remarkable. Also, I got to do my own stunts, and that felt more freeing than anything I’ve ever done. To be able to be that physical was exciting.
Was that first meeting with Tom Cruise intimidating?
Then they kept calling, so I figured, “OK, I have nothing to lose. It would be cool to be a spy. [Laughs.] And it’d be amazing to work with Tom. If they’re calling, there has to be a reason—you have to have more faith in yourself.” So they called and said that they wanted me to do a chemistry read with Tom, and it was like no screen test I’d ever done before.
I had my trailer, and the test was on a big soundstage in Paramount. It felt very “old Hollywood.” It was very exciting. I had to learn how to disarm a gun a little bit—or at least be able to fake it—that same day!
Had you ever used a gun before?
Was the weapons training difficult?
Not the rapper, obviously.
It was fun to feel powerful enough to know that you could protect yourself in crazy situations. He taught me how to attack a man who’s nearly twice my size, and the training actually gave me the ability to do that, if need be.

Ooohhh, Paula. | |

I've seen Paula look waaaay better than that cover...I know the photographer was going for a "look" but it's too "hard" of a "look" in my opinion...
The finest & sexiest she ever looked was when she co-starred with Queen Latifah & Common...I forget the name of the movie... | |

I didn't see it but the title of the film is Just Wright. | |

I never thought of that. But, if they were to do a movie of about Vanity/ Denise it clearly should be Paula's name they think of first. Here are some pics of Vanity that show it would not take much for a make-up artist to make Paula look just like Vanity. [ img#1357]

Right before Prince was on the cover of Ebony, Paula had the cover. I think she was pregnant at the time and she looked very beautiful in those pics. There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin. | |

Paula's next flick is with Tom Cruise in his next Mission Impossible installment...The trailor doesnt look to promising but I might check it out anyways... | |

Did anybody see "Jump the Broom"? I was suppose to take someone to see that flick when it was showing but never did. Is it worth a trip to Blockbuster? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Yeah, it comes out next month. There's an open thread on it here. | |

Good movie.... | |

She's gorgeous and I like the hair and makeup, but something about the outifts and the porny poses leaves me cold.
P.S. I think that pommel horse is acting as what psychology students might refer to as a 'phallic signifier'. "Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin | |
