With a new marriage, to preacher DeVon Franklin, and career in full swing (Anchorman 2), things couldn’t get any better for actress Meagan Good. The actress looks radiant in a graphic print body-con dress for the new issue of Upscale Magazine. Inside the pages, she opens up about life as a married woman and the ups and downs of life in Hollywood.
Life in Hollywood:
“In this business you do get picked apart and you do get kind of bullied everyday, with the blogs and everything… People say, ‘well if you didn’t want all of that then you shouldn’t do this for a living’ but there’s a difference between someone who wants to be an actress because they want to be famous and someone who wants to do good work and they could take or leave the fame because it’s not about the fame or money, it’s genuinely about the art. That’s the category that I fall in. With the fame, to be honest, I could really leave it.”
On married life:
“Oddly, you would think in marriage it would make you feel like you have less freedom, but I’m finding that I have more freedom [since I’ve been married] because I trust myself more and I’m a little bit more absolute about my choices…”
Fears of tying the knot:
“What I feared about marriage was that I would lose my identity and be controlled or suffocated or like a caged lion and what I found was the exact opposite. I’m way more empowered, more content, more confident and just freer across the board.”
