A bombshell actress with brains too, slips into the famed retro bunny ears as the lead in NBC’s The Playboy Club this fall. SheWired has been anxiously anticipating the new series because in addition to Heard being out and in a relationship with a woman (photographer Tasya Van Ree), there’s also the promise of a lesbian Bunny character and storylines addressing the LGBT movements in the tumultuous 1960s.
Heard talked to Playboy magazine about the curve-hugging bunny suit, feminism at The Playboy Club, her on-screen nudity, atheism, and her relationship with Van Ree.
Get to know the woman behind the ears a little better with a few juicy excerpts from the revealing interview now:
PLAYBOY: You play Maureen, a Playboy Bunny, on the new NBC drama The Playboy Club. Now that you’ve spent time in the Bunny suit, you can tell us: Is it really that uncomfortable?
HEARD: It feels about an inch away from death. If it got any tighter, we wouldn’t be able to sit upright. I’m serious—it’s that intense. But it looks great when you’re wearing it. Actually, you know what I really love about the Playboy Bunny outfit? It’s all about a woman’s silhouette. Whatever happened to that? Back in the 1960s it was fine to have curves. Do you know how happy I am that I get to keep some of my curves? For once I don’t have to starve myself.
PLAYBOY: There’s a real Playboy Club at the Palms in Las Vegas. If this acting thing doesn’t work out, would you consider working there as a waitress?
HEARD: Oh please.
