Kate Mara stuns in fashion photo shoot as the Fantastic Four star reveals she lacked confidence growing up!
Kate Mara looks sensational on the cover of the August issue of Flare magazine so it's a surprise to learn she lacks confidence when she's being herself.
The star of the Fantastic Four reboot poses in colorful summer dresses for the fashion magazine and reveals she was so introverted growing up, her parents were baffled when she announced she wanted to be an actress.
'But I think that’s part of why I wanted to do it,' Mara, 32, said. 'For whatever reason, I was shy in my own skin, and when I was playing other people, I felt more confident.'
Following her acclaimed performance as journalist Zoe Barnes, going head to head with Kevin Spacey in Netflix's House of Cards, Mara has focused on the big screen and has four movies coming out this year starting with Fantastic Four on August 7.
Then follows Captive with David Oyelowo, The Martian with Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain and Man Down with Jai Courtney and Shia LaBeouf.
She signed up for Marvel's superhero team because, she says, because it's a perfect blend of storytelling.
'You do get that exciting, fantastical action-packed thrilling thing,' she said in her interview with Flare, 'but you also get the emotional and very real human part of who these [characters] are. '
'The movie really is about family coming together and what lengths you would go to protect them.'
