Carla Gugino | John Russo | Esquire Mexico January 2011

American actress Carla Gugino wears almost four decades of sensual living and womanly beauty in this Esquire Mexico photo shoot by John Russo. Gugino is promoting her new film ‘Sucker Punch’, where she reunites with ‘Watchmen’s’ Zack Snyder.

Carla Gugino plays a trashy soap opera writer having an affair with a married man in her current film ‘Every Day’. WSJ Speakeasy quotes Gugino as saying she always tries to make her characters unconventional.

Returning to work with Zack Snyder on ‘Sucker Punch’ was an easy decision, says the Smart Sensuality actress Gugino.

“Zack loves women in the best way, and I think his intention from the very start was that he wanted to do a movie where these women are fully empowered,” Gugino said last week during an interview in Los Angeles, Calif. “He also hired the same amazing Navy SEAL trainers that he got for all of the guys on ‘300,’ and [although] my character sort of had different requirements, the girls were up there training for a full three months. There was no way they weren’t going to be empowered by the time they started shooting.”
