Jennifer Love Hewitt has spoken out about becoming a sex symbol as a teenager â recalling that she was frequently asked questions about her breasts.
Hewitt was just 18 when she rose to international fame via the huge 1997 teen horror movie I Know What You Did Last Summer â and even younger when she first started getting attention for her body.
âIn my 30s, I sort of went back and looked at that time again and I was like, âOh my Godâ,â she told fellow teen star Mayim Bialik on her Breakdown podcast. âThere were grown men talking to me at 16 about my breasts just openly on a talk show, and people were laughing about it. I donât even remember that, I really didnât take that part in, but in hindsight it was really strange I think to become a sex symbol sort of for people before I even knew what that was.â
Now 45, Hewitt said she âdidnât even know what sexy meantâ when she first started doing shoots for menâs magazines. âI was on the cover of Maxim magazines, and people would openly walk up and be like, âI took your magazine with me on a trip last weekâ,â she said. âI didnât know what that meant, you know what I mean? Itâs kind of gross. I think later it sort of hit me more, kind of the things that I probably went through somewhere. But at the time, it felt very innocent and exciting and fun.â
Jennifer Love Hewitt in 1997 Steve Granitz Archive 1/WireImageHewitt even remembers wearing a t-shirt with the slogan âSilicon Freeâ after speculation that sheâd had a boob job when she was, in fact, just a normal growing teenager. âAfter the movie came out, everybody said âOh, I know what your breasts did last summerâ and that was the joke,â she said. âEverybody would laugh, and so I would laugh, âcause it was supposed to be funny, I guess. It didnât register with me that this was a grown man, talking about my breasts on national television.â

Jennifer Love Hewitt has been a bonafide Hollywood starlet since the 1990s â and sheâs opening up about the unrealistic expectations that come with being in the spotlight for decades. âI feel like fans pick this age that they love that they think represents you, and youâre never supposed to grow beyond that,â Hewitt, 45, [âŚ]
Hewitt says sheâs now âthankfulâ that she didnât think about it too deeply at the time. âHad I taken on some of that earlier, I think it would have messed with me a little bit, but it didnât for whatever reason,â she said. âWhen I watched the Britney Spears documentary, that was really honestly the light bulb for me. When I watched it, I finished watching it, and my husband [Brian Hallisay] was like, âWhy do you look so disturbed?â and I was like, âI know what that feels like.â I know sitting there and being asked those questions and it never dawned on me that it was inappropriate.â

Hewitt added that she appreciates that all things body image have moved on since she found fame. âBy the way, I donât blame them for asking the questions or making the jokes or doing it,â she said. âIt was a culture that was fully accepted. They were allowed to believe that that was appropriate, I answered the questions, laughed right along. I have no problem with them for doing it. But when you sit and you look at where we are now versus then, itâs really mind-blowing.â
