Maitland Ward gives Rihanna edge over Victoria's Secret, hearts Squid Game + is about that Star Wars life (Exclusive)
Who doesn’t love Maitland Ward at this point? Oh - not too familiar with the 44-year-old Hollywood star who went from iconic productions like ‘Boy Meets World’ and White Chicks to taking the adult world by storm?
For the record - she’s beyond amazing - and by this time your memory should start recalling the beautiful Maitland Ward - and while we’ve had these answers for a few days (or weeks, I’ll confess) the true intent was to wait for the official interview to go down but with the holidays here, we can’t hold it any longer - MW came through with some super quirky, fun and mind-blowing written responses to some questions we had to fire her way from Rihanna’s love life with A$AP Rocky and Savage x Fenty slaying to what’s in steady rotation for her workout playlist.
Without further ado, let’s crack right into 10 questions we had for Maitland Ward and her responses for all you loyal ATC readers, viewers and heads!
1. What’s the best and worst new thing you’ve watched on Netflix lately?
Best is ‘Squid Game.’ I just finished it and I loved it! Really great script and actors and I love how it makes you really think. I did not want to watch it at first because I heard it was super violent but I’m so glad a friend urged me to check it out. He told me you watched ‘Game of Thrones’ when they ripped a man’s face off, you will be fine. He was right, so I gave it a try. I definitely want season 2! Worst is ‘He’s All That.’ I checked it out because Addison is really cute and I love how she built her own name and brand but they threw that together so fast and sloppy. But I only watched like a half hour so maybe it got better??
2. What’s your all-time favorite movie?
Since the holidays are upon us, I love Bad Santa. It’s dark, twisted humor with a heart. And of course Empire Strikes Back is up there and I love Star Wars and Marvel movies. But I love to really laugh and Bad Santa was hysterical. Such a talented cast!
3. If you could add one much-needed feature to the next iPhone, what would it be?
I want the photos to be so good they can see inside my soul. And also anyone I take a picture of. That way I can tell if you’re a good person without having to text or talk first. Also a levitation feature for when it’s on the other side of the room and I don’t want to get up. Maybe you could call it like a dog and it would come to you.
4. If you suddenly had one social media page shut down forever, which could you live without – especially thinking back to when IG and Facebook had a huge outage a few weeks ago.
Facebook definitely. Although that’s where all my family and high school friends are. So definitely Facebook. Just kidding kinda.
5. What was your all-time favorite Halloween costume – ever?
When my boyfriend and I dressed up like M&M’s and went to The Ivy in LA for dinner before going to a party. The one where all the big celebs go. The food was great and everyone laughed at our costumes (in a nice way… maybe) but man it is not easy sitting in an M&M suit and eating a four course meal. It’s my favorite because it’s one that I always remember. But I also liked when I went to the Comikaze comic con right on Halloween weekend dressed as a devil and met Stan Lee.
6. If you could get a lifetime of either Victoria’s Secret or Savage x Fenty – who are you going with?
I’m loving Savage x Fenty. I think Victoria’s Secret is always nice but it definitely needs some new designs and vibes. Rihanna is really creating some amazing stuff and I love how it’s tailored to all people. You don’t have to be a supermodel to wear it.
7. Rihanna in 2021 – are you loving what she’s doing? What are your thoughts on her publicized relationship with A$AP Rocky and how bonded they are?
She’s sensational. What an empire she’s built! And I love that she’s found sound a connection with someone who has been a friend and a champion of hers for so long. That’s really the mark of someone who is good for you. When he loves and supports you in that way as a friend first. She has someone who isn’t just lusting for her. He celebrates her value.
8. If you could either have a yearlong hook-up of Pink’s Hot Dogs or Susie Cakes in Los Angeles – which spot are you going with?
Susie Cakes for sure. my sweet tooth is all about that celebration cake. But I would miss that Brando dog now and again for sure. Chili cheese makes my mouth wet.
9. If you could star opposite any Hollywood star in a new movie, who do you feel you would have the best chemistry with?
Jason Momoa and I would be fierce in Aquaman. I’ve also always had a fantasy of working with Ruby Rose. She’s so hot, we should make a lesbian crime drama superhero type film.
10. What’s your go-to workout playlist in 2021?
I love all kinds of music. Right now I have Dua Lipa, The Weeknd, Doja Cat, stuff like that, but I also like spinning to old 80s or 90s music. Doing themed playlists like that is fun. Anything with a great beat that gets you amped and motivated. I also like a lot of slow, more Indy stuff but that’s not to work out to. That’s later when I want to have a little wine and be in my feelings.
