Claire Danes Covers 'GQ' UK September 2012

Claire Danes is white hot on the cover of GQ UK Magazine‘s September 2012 issue, styled by Zanna Roberts Rassi.

The 33-year-old Homeland actress recalled her first memory of acting with a remarkable level of detail (she was three). “I was in pre-nursery,” she told the mag. “It was nap time and I couldn’t nap. I was in my cot, looking at everyone sleeping. I didn’t want to disappoint my teacher. And I remembered I had observed my mother sleeping, and she would twitch. So, to give the impression I was asleep, I twitched. And I remember thinking, ‘Oooh, that’s good. That’s nuanced.’”

Homeland just released a trailer for season 2 – watch it below. The Showtime series returns on Sunday, September 30!

FYI: On the cover, Claire is wearing a Lanvin dress, Manolo Blahnik shoes, Hermes cuff, and Zena Khan ring.
