interview

Rebecca Romijn wants to star in her own Wolverine style X-Men spin-off. The Ugly Betty actress — who gave birth to twins earlier this year — says if she can drop all of her baby weight by 2010 she would love to reprise her role as Mystique for the fantasy hero franchise. “If they talk to me in a year when I have worked off more of the baby weight, we’ll see, but I’ve still got a couple of pounds to go,” she says. “It’s a great idea but no one’s talked to me about it yet.”

Romijn cast in 'Eastwick' pilot

U.S. actress Rebecca Romijn has been cast as a witch alongside Lindsay Price and Jaime Ray Newman in the drama pilot, "Eastwick."

Romijn, who recently gave birth to twins, is best known for her work on TV's "Ugly Betty" and for her portrayal of blue-hued Mystique in the "X-Men" movies.

Rebecca Romijn: The effect that…, first of all it is so cool to play this super villain, you know, I mean, I didn’t…, I wasn’t huge…, I didn’t have a huge awareness of X-Men before I started and off course we have all become, you know, very engaged in what X-Men is all about since we worked on it, but yeah, I mean it is so cool to play a super villain. I love it, I love it and I think she is a really cool and sexy and angry character. I mean…, I totally get why she is fighting her fight and I really connect with her.

Let's get this small confession out of the way: I love Rebecca Romijn. Despite the insane beauty, she always possesses an air of approachability that I've enjoyed throughout her work and having gotten the chance to interview her, I must say, I was right.
