Abbie Cornish: My Love For Ryan Phillippe Brought Me To Los Angeles

Abbie Cornish opens up about her relationship with Ryan Phillippe in the latest issue of W Magazine. The 27-year-old Australian-born actress was interviewed at Chateau Marmont, not far from the house she shares with Ryan. Check out some interview snippets:

On what brought her to Los Angeles: “I guess I was lucky because it was love that brought me here, not work. I think the city feels and looks a little bit different because of that.”

On if she’s engaged to Ryan: “No. I don’t know [if we have plans in that direction]. I think I’m nearly ready to go on to another part of the conversation.”

On tabloid accusations that she broke up Ryan and Reese Witherspoon’s marriage: “It was a really difficult time for me. It was just this world of tabloid magazines that I’d never been exposed to. In a normal successful career, someone usually learns these things bit by bit. For me, it was like night and day. I woke up one day and there was this whole new thing I had to process and deal with.”

Abbie‘s new movie, Bright Star, opens in limited release on September 18.

People crucify (still after four or five years) Brad and Angelina who have been nothing but graceful during it all–for Jennifer Aniston. The hate is amazing for these two.
Yet Ryan and Abbie-nary a bleep.

Ah well, guess what, reese and the very insecure Ryan Philippe did break up during the time Abbie and he were filimg a movie togetehr. Coincidence? I think not! Let’s just hope she doesn’t start picking up awards and gets more famous than him or else, his little sorry **** will start whining again and then break up. What was it he said about feeling like crap cuz his wife then, Reese, was the highest paid actress? What a LOSER! It sure was a blessing that he cheated on Reese cuz now she’s with a real man! I sued to have a major crush on himuntil he started whining like a little girl; What a turnoff!

I think if she answered the question she would be not only telling her own business, but telling on Ryan and to a lesser extent, Reese. So I think she did the right thing. There’s kids involved and I don’t think anyone involved wants to cause unpleasant publicity on account of the kids and also their families. Abbie, Ryan, Reese all have parents, aunts uncles, etc. and they go to stores adn see the tabloids too. I don’t blame her for “breaking up” that marriage. Everything points to the fact it was broken up before she ever came along and Ryan had his own place to live for a full year before we ever knew a thing. I think everyone looks more relaxed and ha[pier now that they have all got on with life.

Why deny they fell in love they clearly really wanted to be together the price was pretty high but it seems all has worked out for the best.

Ryan has a HUGE ego. he had no problem staying married with Reese when he was the one making more money but the moment Reese hit it big with “Legally Blonde” and won an Academy Award for Best Actress “Walk The Line”, he couldn’t stand it. He talked all he could about feeling emascualted when he reads that his wife is the highest paid actress. Damn, he should be supportive instead of whining.

And oh Wendy, wait until she gets mroe famous than him and stars making mroe money, it will be bye bye time time cuz he won;’t be able to stand it. Let’s just hope she’s not holding herself back just for the sake of his ego!

REESE JAKE RYAN ABBIE @

Jen, Brad and Angelina all say that nothing occurred until the marriage irrevocably had broken down. And you hate Brad for this? Yet you excuse Abbie and Ryan even tho he was married to Reese and didn’t have the courtesy to go home and tell her there was someone else and he wanted a divorce. At least Brad had the balls to tell Jen he wanted an divorce before he advanced his relationship with Angelina.

Another one who is avoiding the issue…At least Tori spelling is upfront about her situation

They all need to have a convention with Tori…Sienna Miller, Jolie Skeletor, Abby Cornish and Liz Taylor can be thier fair god mother…

Ryan could use some stickuphisass removal.

Calm down, haters. I think what some of you have already said has been enough. You worship St. Reese. Ryan is scum and Abbie his scum’ess. In reality, as has also been already said, Ryan and Reese were unofficially separated before he met Abbie. It’s an open secret that he lived in his own apartment and not with Reese. If you bother to read the interview, and others Abbie has given, she is frequently described as a soft spoken, private, even shy person. She won’t talk about Ryan because it’s not her place and will assurdedly be taken out of context. Afterall, Ryan was pretty explicit about everything over a year ago and it makes no difference to most people who have already made up their minds. To those who want to accuse me of being an apologist, let it rip. I like Abbie. And I love her acting. She is a rare talent. I also like the way Ryan and Abbie try to remain private. Yet the few candid looks at them show them being tender and sweet to each other.

First off all, the whole b.s. of Brad NOT being involved with Angie before his marriage to Jennifer Aniston was over is complete bunk. Do the math. Take the day that St. Angie gave birth to Shiloh and go back 9-1/2 months. Guess what? Someone is a liar, as they were obviously sleeping together even before the “last vacation” photos of Brad and Jen were out and their marriage was kaput. I don’t trust Angie. Hell, she married Billy Bob when he was already engaged to Laura Dern. That poor woman was simply away for a weekend and BLAM. Angie hits.

Moving on to Ryan and Reese and Abbie. It’s been documented that Ryan was screwin around on Reese for quite some time. I don’t know how Abbie got “lucky” and got Ryan to stick around, but again, Reese and Ryan were NOT separated yet, only due to his shooting up in Cananda while she was in the states.

People will twist these and other hollywood stories to their hearts’ content. You just need to stop and look at the real story, and NOT how it’s been spun by the PR/tabloids.

Bottomine? I could give two sh#ts about any of these people. Its fun to gossip about them, but I personally don’t care one way or another. At least Brad seems happier with St. Angie and their orphanage. Ryan? Meh, who cares!

@Seriously??: For some who “could give two sh#ts about any of thise people” and “personally don’t care one way or another” you have a lot to say and with such authority too.

“Who cares”, you ask. have you looked int he mirror lately? On second thought, dont. Cos, being as delusional as you are, you look inthe mirror and see a svelte, successful, beautiful woman when in reality, you are a big fat slob scarfing down twinkies and kool aid in your dank nasty basement, all the while believing that youre at chateau marmont mingling with these people………..LMFAO.

Ryan has a woman that he feel superior to you. I hope she doesn’t have a breakout movie. It will be over quick.

I hate both of them…they are untalented asses. Ryan more thu, cause he had two kids to think off and talked **** when Resse was first linked to Jake. Like Dude you cheated, so you have no right at all to talk about her life now.
