This was followed by roles in “Wonderland,” “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!”
and “Superman Returns.”
She’s also impressed critics with her performances in projects like “Still Alice” and “SS-GB.”
Bosworth’s personal journey has also been pretty dramatic.
In fact, she was much too busy with horses.
“Connecticut is a place where people are serious about horses,” she toldThe Sydney Morning Herald.
“I was obsessed; I remember asking my parents if I could sleep in the stables.”
By the age of 14, Bosworth was already a junior showjumping champion.
Bosworth only auditioned so that she could spend time riding rather than sitting in school.
In fact, she never felt that comfortable in her skin.
Bosworth went on to explain that her shyness made her rise to fame all the more difficult.
“I was just so shy that the thought that anyone would talk to me was ridiculous.”
Luckily, the young, introverted Bosworth carved out a career all by herself.
As the actress explained toInStyle, she almost didn’t get the part.
Even though the producers were looking for an experienced surfer, Bosworth decided to audition.
As Bosworth explained, she had always been determined as a child.
At just 18, the young actress wasn’t quite prepared for what that entailed.
“It was so intense and overwhelming,” she toldInStyle.
Eventually, Bosworth realized she needed help.
“I just said to her, ‘God, I am struggling …
I’m feeling quite lost,'” Bosworth replied.
Eventually, she sought out therapy and received help from a life-changing guidance counselor.
“I don’t think I’d be where I am without her,” she said.
While she was only 22 years old when she made the film, she was already playing a mother.
“I felt a little unprepared for that,” she toldElle.
“Especially as an only child … “I feel like I’ve been doing that for 10 years now,” she said.
“Playing Heidi was such a true parallel to my own life,” she said.
After filming finished, the pair fell in love, and by 2013, they were married.
I am proud of him, of us.”
“Literature informs my artistry almost more than cinema,” she said.
“It fuels a deep part of me.
If I’m not reading, my creativity isn’t being stimulated the way it needs to be.”
It’s no wonder art house films became her main focus.
As she toldStylist, “I want to work with people who are good, creative, and authentic …
The pair began working together.
After all, their first collaboration on “Big Sur” had been close to perfect.
“It was really this sort of connection of director-actress in the most historic way,” she toldInterview.
As a director-actress duo, the pair made four movies together.
They also created a production company and collaborated on numerous production projects.
For the first time in her career, Bosworth was able to work on the projects of her choosing.
“I had never met anyone who said, ‘What do you want to do?’
‘Well, I want to do this.’
‘Okay, I’ll write it.
Let’s do it,'” she explained to Flaunt.
And the collaborations always seemed to work, as the pair was able to produce their best work together.
Bosworth immediately knew she wanted to be part of the film, so she contacted her agents.
As it turned out, they happened to be in the middle of casting.
There, they tried to unplug from the world of social media and enjoy nature.
“I never feel lonely; I crave solitude,” she toldStylist.
A place where I can ride horses and attain that kind of purity and freedom.”
As she went on to explain, she had always felt a kind of cosmic bond to Montana.
“I feel happier now than ever before,” she said.
Finally, she felt settled and content with who and where she was.
“I just love moving into my 30s,” she gushed toThe Sydney Morning Herald.
The moment you understand that and make that switch, you get connected to yourself.'"
“I began to feel settled,” she explained toTribeca.
“I had to learn through experience,” she said.
There, she and Polish taught film courses to students.
“Our school is unorthodox and unique,” Bosworth told Flaunt.
Because Bosworth learned the importance of professional experience for herself, that’s how she likes to teach.
As of 2022, theschoolis still going strong, with summer courses available.
In a poetic, heartfelt post onInstagram, Bosworth explained, “Inherently, we fear an ending.
To lose what you have because you got what you wanted.”
Clearly, the decision to part ways was mutual, and the marriage ended with respect and even love.
Even though Polish and Bosworth went their separate ways, Bosworth remained a dedicated stepmother to his daughter Jasper.
I feel like there [are] so many blended families today."
A few months after announcing her separation, she wasspotted with actor Justin Long.
“I want to scream it from the rooftops, but I also want to be protective.
It’s sacred.”
Since then, Bosworth and Long havegone public with their relationship.
Long replied, “Loving you is easily the best gift I’ve ever received.”
It seems that Bosworth is entering a new era and this time, Justin Long is by her side.
