Julia Fox, the 35-year-old model and actress, has spoken candidly about the difficulties she has faced with friendships as her fame has grown. In a recent conversation with Vanessa Kirby for Interview magazine, Fox revealed how her increasing success has led her to end relationships with several former friends due to jealousy and insecurity.
She explained that managing these complicated emotions among those close to her became overwhelming, prompting her to distance herself from people who struggled to accept her achievements. This aspect of her journey highlights a less visible downside to becoming well-known.
Shifting Bonds: From Old Friends to New Work Connections
Fox shared that the relationships she now values most are those she has built with her coworkers, including the cast and crew of projects like Night Always Comes. Her role alongside actors like Vanessa Kirby has introduced her to individuals who truly support and celebrate her accomplishments.
Reflecting on the Hollywood environment, the actress noted that many people she encounters in the industry are eager to cheer on her successes, contrasting with past experiences of envy from some former friends.
I’ve had to leave so many people in the past because they couldn’t handle that I was successful and they weren’t. And I tried to help, but at a certain point you just have to let go,
Julia told her costar.
She also discussed how professional relationships often evolve into deeper connections over time.
In this industry, there’s been moments where I look around and I’m like, ‘Damn, I hang out with the people I work with more than my friends or my family.’ The people you work with kind of become your family and your friends in a weird way. It’s the best part of the job. They’re there to celebrate your wins, and they’re on your team,
Julia said in the article.
New Friendships and Meaningful Connections on Set
Vanessa Kirby expressed the significance of her evolving friendship with Fox during filming, emphasizing how strong their bond has become in a short period.
Meeting you on this movie and going really deep with you was so beautiful. And I know that you’ll always be in my life now,
Vanessa told Julia in the interview.
Julia agreed, noting that their connection felt like one that had lasted much longer than the actual time spent working together, underscoring the meaningful friendships forged through shared experiences on set.
Looking Ahead: Upcoming Projects and Continued Growth
As Julia Fox continues to navigate her career and personal relationships, she remains focused on building positive, supportive connections in Hollywood. With an upcoming movie trailer recently released, Fox appears poised to maintain her momentum both professionally and personally.
Her openness about the challenges of friendship jealousy after fame sheds light on the emotional complexities behind the glamour of success, while showing her commitment to surrounding herself with people who genuinely support her journey.
