Jessica Biel sizzles in the April 2012 issue of W magazine, captured by photographer Mikael Jansson. Gracing the cover, the brunette stuns in a Louis Vuitton nylon swimsuit, expertly styled by Edward Enninful. In an exclusive interview with W’s Editor, Lynn Hirschberg, the starlet shares her thoughts and insights.
Did you rebel in your teens?
I cut my hair supershort and dyed it blonde. I had to apologize to Aaron Spelling [the producer] for doing that. He wasn’t happy. When I turned 17 or 18, a really obnoxious friend sent a stripper to the set. I had to apologize for that too. The show was all about family values, and they took that position seriously. I was always apologizing.
Did you have Barbies?
I did, but it was always, “Let’s play sex with Barbies!” My Barbies were usually naked. Once, I took their heads off, cut their hair, drew on their short, spiky hair with some markers, then stuck the heads on Christmas lights. Every year, we’d string our tree with those Barbie heads. It looked demonic. My parents were so cool—they saw it as a form of self-expression.
