Actress Kerry Washington is featured on the December cover of “Women’s Health,” where she talks about her upcoming film “Django Unchained” which will also star Jamie Foxx and Samuel L. Jackson. In the article, she shares ways in which she prepared for the role in the film.
“One of the things that I really love most about my job is the research part of it….So, I studied a lot. It’s kind of hard to articulate the level of preparation that we all had to do for this film because so much of it was emotional and psychological preparation. It’s hard to talk about because we all had to go into a part of American history that is so dark and complicated and fraught with the past sins of this country.”
The “Scandal” star also shares details about her diet, which consists of vegan protein shakes (but she’s not a vegan).
“I mix them with coconut water instead of regular water. That’s my secret to having them taste better. I love popcorn. I could live on popcorn. The writers of Scandal have made my character Olivia Pope have a similar relationship with popcorn. But I don’t mind because I get to eat popcorn at work.”
