In spite of her stardom, the first time Janet Jackson felt truly sexy and confident wasn't until she was well into her 30s. "I got out of a funky relationship and finally got back to me," Jackson tells Laura Brown in her interview. "I went to therapy, which was all about finding that thing you like about yourself. The realization that, you know what, you're not so bad after all. I'm not saying you're great or you're the best, but it's not as bad as you were made to feel that it was." How did she overcome some of her biggest insecurities? "A lot of it has to do with experience, getting older. Understanding, realizing that there isn't just one thing that is considered beautiful. Beautiful comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. " 

It's difficult to process the lack of confidence about her own beauty that the star reveals.“At first, I couldn’t find anything. I would look in the mirror and start crying. I didn’t like that I was not attractive. I didn’t like anything about me. But I wound up falling in love with the small of my back. And then from there I found more things.”  Read on

Larson is set to play Carol Danvers in 'Captain Marvel, a film set before the events of the first 'Iron Man' movie. Samuel L. Jackson will return as S.H.I.E.L.E. agent Nick Fury in a story involving "the strongwoman battling the aliens known as Skrulls," writes EW.

“I spent months thinking about whether or not I was going to do the film and I realized that it was a chance to tell a story on the largest scale possible,” Larson tells Porter. “I know it is going to make me lose some of the things I love most about my life, but I think it’s worth it.”

In the May issue of Vanity Fair, Larson spoke further about joining the Captain Marvel universe. “Ultimately, I couldn’t deny the fact that this movie is everything I care about, everything that’s progressive and important and meaningful, and a symbol I wished I would’ve had growing up,” she continued. “I really, really feel like it’s worth it if it can bring understanding and confidence to young women — I’ll do it.”

The elephant is hopefully sleeping, but given Doutzen's work on behalf of African elephants, she could be dead. Elephants sleep at night and generally standing up. And they only sleep for two hours in the wild. The image (further down) has no real provocation as presented.

I have worked a lot. I don’t have to work. I work because it is still my passion.”

Telling InStyle how long it takes to come down from performance, the actor touches on her pursuit of authenticity:
