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.”
