You know when someone is so booked and busy it feels kind of spiritual? That’s Margaret Qualley right now. Case in point: The very morning she sat down to chat with Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Willa Bennett for her 60th anniversary cover interview, her latest film Honey Don’t!—the second entry in Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke’s Drive-Away Dolls lesbian road trip trilogy—was announced to premiere at Cannes. Not bad for a random Wednesday.
And that’s not all she has going on right now. She is also starring in Richard Linklater’s Blue Moon and just wrapped Huntington, a darkly funny thriller with Glen Powell—and yes, you did spot her in Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix last weekend. Somehow, she still managed to show up to the set of her cover shoot on time and with the vibe of a girl who borrowed her best friend’s sweater on the way out the door—not the air you’d expect of someone redefining screen stardom before our very eyes.
She understandably had no time to fill out her version of our iconic Cosmo Quiz between photo setups, but she promised she’d get it done—and she’s a woman of her word! So she FedEx’d us her completed copy from Italy...where, yes, she was working on yet another movie. (We knew she’d come through!)
Over more than a decade in the game, Margaret’s made a name for herself inhabiting characters who sit right at the intersection of womanhood, contradiction, and full-blown emotional hurricane. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. The answers to her quiz aren’t indicative of any characters though. They’re quintessentially Margaret.
