Julia Fox and Tommy Dorfman Talk
Fame, Codependency, and Motherhood
It may seem as if Julia Fox appeared out of nowhere, but before she turned heads in the Safdie brothers’ manic thriller Uncut Gems, the 31-year-old was already a known entity in New York City. Fox, who moved there when she was a child, is distinctly a product of the city, the type of person who both shapes and is shaped by it. She has been a clothing designer, a model, a painter, a photographer, and even, at one time, a dominatrix. Now, she is a professional actor, most recently joining the starry ensemble in Steven Soderbergh’s latest caper, No Sudden Move. Fox, who stars opposite Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, and Jon Hamm in the Detroit-set thriller, shot the film when she was six months pregnant with her first child, Valentino. She initially worried that her son might slow her momentum—she’s also launching a podcast and working on a book—but, as she tells her friend, the actor Tommy Dorfman, the exact opposite has happened.

JULIA FOX: I was thinking about you last night, Tommy. You are so brave and such a fucking classy lady. You make people feel good. You make people feel at ease and accepted and warm and welcome. I don’t know if it’s because you’re a Southern belle, but it’s so refreshing.
