Emily Ratajkowski says her Gone Girl love scene with Ben Affleck was surreal

Here are some photos of Emily Ratajkowski out and about in NYC yesterday, promoting Gone Girl. Her dress is David Koma London – she’s the kind of woman who looks good in just about anything, so the dress is cute on her. She could wear a burlap sack and still look sexy though.

As I discussed yesterday, I went to see Gone Girl over the weekend and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it mostly for Rosamund Pike and Carrie Coon, but the film as a whole was full of strong performances. I felt a little bit like I needed to reread the book though, but I seem to remember the Andie part – played by Emily – was a lot bigger in the book? SPOILERS: I seem to remember that Andie and Nick managed to find several moments away from everybody else, but Andie was relegated to four scenes, by my count, and three of those scenes were minor for the character.

I’ve read some stuff about how Emily was a weak point in the film and she can’t really act, blah blah. I don’t think she’s going to set the world on fire with her acting skillz, but as I’ve said before… I could totally see Emily following a Megan Fox-like trajectory. She was hired to play Nick Dunne’s mistress because she’s sexy (and maybe Ben wanted to have an excuse to make out with her) and she delivered. But mostly Andie is a cipher, to be seen almost exclusively through Amy and Nick’s eyes. She did show her boobs in her big scene with Affleck, just FYI. There was a surprising amount of equal-opportunity nudity actually. I enjoyed that.

Anyway, here’s Emily’s short little interview on Today yesterday. Regarding making out with Ben Affleck, “the whole experience was a little surreal…I have to be honest. Obviously Ben Affleck is one of those – you know his face. I grew up with his face. Not sure if he would love that. I went into an audition and there’s this really tall handsome guy. And I’m like, ‘Oh my god. That’s Ben Affleck.’” She’s 23 years old, by the way. Ben is 42.
