Vanity Fair finally got one of the best celebrity candidates to do the magazine’s infamous lie detector test: Uncut Gems star Julia Fox.

The actress did not hold back during the hilarious interview, including when they asked if she’s ever stolen from someone’s medicine cabinet.

“Hell yeah! Who hasn’t? Sometimes there’s a nice prescription that looks really good and I just gotta take a little sample,” Fox replied. “I wouldn’t do that now, just for the record.”

The actress then went into detail about what used to be her preferred method of stealing from high-end department stores (shoving things into her Juicy Couture sweatpants) and the unexpected result of working as a dominatrix (learning how to act.)

“It was improv all day long. I’d have to be a mean nun, bitchy popular girl in high school, whatever the client wanted,” she recalled. “And I only had a couple of minutes to get ready, get dressed and prepped for it. So it was kind of all just on the spot. And I feel like it really taught me how to act.”

But the interview took an interesting turn when Fox was asked how she felt about being considered Josh Safdie‘s “muse” for Uncut Gems.

“I wouldn’t say I ‘hated’ it, but I do see how it kind of keeps women in this place of being objects to be fantasized about,” she responded. “When you’re a muse, men want to see what they want to see, and they don’t necessarily see you for who you actually are. And when they do, when the bubble is burst, they’re like, ‘Oh, you’re not my fantasy girl anymore.'”

“But then again, as a woman, you kind of have to get it when you can,” she joked.

Safdie previously claimed that all of the similarities between Fox and her character, Julia De Fiore, were “purely coincidental,” but he did begin asking for her advice when he would get writer’s block.

“The character was just kind of constantly evolving to become more specific to her,” he told The New York Times.

Fox also revealed in her new memoir, Down The Drain, that Safdie had been telling her for years that she was perfect for the role, but the studio was reportedly more interested in casting a more high profile celebrity to star opposite Adam Sandler.

“Someone with a big name, like Lady Gaga or Jennifer Lawrence,” she wrote in her memoir, per People. She inevitably landed the role after acing her screen test with Sandler, securing her breakout role in the A24 drama.
