That appealed to me.” The ad was to be a dominatrix, a high school gig that Fox credits with teaching her to act. “I was scrolling, and in between ads for prostitutes, I clicked on one that said no nudity, no sex. “This was back when Craigslist still had an ‘adult gigs’ section,” she tells me. There were ‘missing’ posters all over the city.”Įventually, the boyfriend went to jail, as drug-selling boyfriends do, and sometime after that Fox moved in with a friend downtown, contemplating the direction her life should take.

By 15, she ran off with a boyfriend who “was a drug dealer, so he had his own place.” She’d been such a free spirit - bouncing back and forth between Italy and New York at the time - that it took her family three weeks to realize that she was gone.

“You’re seeing this really extravagant display of wealth, and you’re trying to look like that, but you have to do it by stealing.” By age 13 or 14, Fox was climbing down the fire escape at night so that she could go out clubbing in that stolen attire (she eventually got arrested for shoplifting at Bloomingdale’s, the department store for which she recently did a social media campaign: “So that was really full circle”). “It was still very working class,” explains Fox of a neighborhood hemmed in by both public housing and the wealthy Upper East Side of Manhattan. Thus kicked off a fairly wayward youth in Kids-era Yorkville. When he eventually settled down enough to get a job in construction and an apartment, Fox, who was “getting to be a lot to handle,” came to live with him. Born to an Italian mom and American dad who quickly split, Fox spent the first six years of her life being raised by her grandfather in Sirona, a “very quaint, very sheltered” town outside Milan, while her mom finished college and her dad lived on a boat docked off of New York City and presumably did whatever young, itinerant guys who live on boats tend to do. “And I’m not one to wait for things to be handed to me.” “I knew I wanted to be in the film industry,” Fox says. The character’s original name was Sadie by the end, it was Julia. “Of course, I molded her to be what I wanted her to be, which conveniently was also what Josh wanted her to be.” What could have been a mere eye-candy role morphed into one that’s powerful, volatile, and iconic.
“ would hit me up every few months and ask me for suggestions on the character,” she says. The part wasn’t necessarily hers, though, not once producers like Martin Scorsese and Scott Rudin got attached to the project and thought it should go to a name - or at least an actor, which Fox wasn’t.

“He said he was making a movie and wanted me to play the girlfriend,” she recalls. Or rather - to illustrate the point - the character became based on her after she met the Safdies “in passing,” followed them on social media, started up a dialogue, and then one day got a call from Josh. That’s because she is based on Fox, who can hustle with the best of them. “I always had a way of getting what I wanted.”Ĭase in point: Uncut Gems, Josh and Benny Safdie’s adrenaline-rush of a film, which cast real-deal diamond-district hustlers as themselves and Fox as Adam Sandler’s minxish girlfriend, who turns out to be one of the biggest hustlers of them all. This seems a bold choice for coronavirus takeout, but will probably work out for Fox.
She’s riding in the passenger seat of an Infinity sports car making its way to Randazzo’s Clam Bar in the Sheepshead Bay neighborhood of Brooklyn because what she happens to wish for right now is a dozen oysters. “My motto has always been ‘Be careful what you wish for,'” says Julia Fox.
