Leslie Mann Talks Collaborating with Hubby Judd Apatow

Leslie Mann pushes her husband Judd Apatow‘s face away in a new feature for Marie Claire‘s December 2012 issue, on newsstands now and featuring cover girl Jessica Chastain.

Here is what the 40-year-old This Is 40 actress had to share with the mag:

On Judd casting her in his films: “It’s so nice to be able to have a say in things and Judd being open to collaborating because I’m very helpful in that area. And that’s why working with him is so great, because I get to have a say in things where normally I wouldn’t.”

On finding her way into comedy: “I didn’t think, I want to do dramas or I want to do comedies – I wasn’t clear in that way. I remember going out on more dramatic auditions, and people were laughing at me. And over the course of a year and a bunch of auditions, I kind of wound up here.”

On breaking her toe during the Marie Claire photo shoot: “I felt like such a dork…I’m leaping, and the fans were blowing, and the dress would fly up, and I was barefoot. That’s the other thing – I have giant feet, and they are not attractive at all.”
