Josie Maran Interview - Maxim Magazine
Growing up in northern California, Josie Maran spotted a magazine photo of Christy Turlington and immediately began fantasizing about becoming a famous model. Now, at 22, the New York-based beauty has appeared in major campaigns for Guess? and Maybelline and has starred in more than 25 television commercials and music videos. But as we quickly discovered over a seafood dinner with sultry sensation, Josie has moved on to other, slightly more visceral fantasies. Josie on dinner: "Red wine and sushi is my favorite. I like eel, yellowtail, and tuna, but I'm obsessed with sea urchin roe. Obsessed. I need it. When I eat it with my friends, I freak them out a little because it's almost orgasmic. I say, 'Can you guys feel it? 'They're, like, 'Whatever.' Eating it is an experience that I like to have alone. I love the creamy texture." Josie on acting: "I've done commercials for BMW, Neutrogena, and Crest. I also did an Herbal Essences shampoo commercial. You know - 'It's organic' three girls getting really excited while shampooing. Basically, I wore a G-string and had fake orgasms in the shower for three days straight. The director would actually say, 'OK, it's starting ... CK, it's building! ... OK, you're peaking! 'My mom came to visit me on the set. It must have been interesting for her. "I also appeared in an old Backstreet Boys video where Howie is a vampire sucking blood from my neck. It was really sexy, kind of an orgasm scene. There was controversy because Backstreet Boys fans thought that I must be his girlfriend. He had to go out onstage and say 'That wasn't my girlfriend in the video. 'He did ask me for my number, though, I said no. They're nice guys, but butt ugly. And they weren't all that famous yet, either. I really hate their music, especially when you have to hear it all the time. "I want to become a real actress. You can't model forever. I'd like to go to Juilliard to study acting and then get kicked out after one year. But I don't want to get typecast as The Pretty Girl. I've played The Dark Girl in a few commercials, and I like it. My dream role is the serial killer Juliette Lewis played in Natural Born Killers. She's powerful. Sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll." Josie on her temper: "I'm usually a mellow, go-with-the-flow person, except when someone tells me I should do something. Then I get stubborn. If they don't back off, I get this horrible rage and want to kill them. When I was four and my mom would send me to my room, I'd get so mad I'd go outside and bang my head on the sidewalk." Josie on alternative careers: "When I was younger,) wanted to be a sex therapist-a hipper Dr. Ruth. I've never had a boring conversation about sex. When you talk about sex, people come alive. My friends told me, 'You know, guys are going to come to talk about their wives, but then they're going to want to sleep with you.' I figured I'd just wear a bag over my head." Josie on top: "I love talking about sex, but doing it is better. I'm good at psychology, and I'm good at lovin'. My dream is to have sex twice a day. Every time I get into bed, I want it. Guys are, like, 'Whoa, slow down!' For most guys it's time to sleep. I'm, like, 'No, it's not!' They can't keep up with me. And I don't believe in marriage. Why do people screw up a perfectly good thing with a contract? I just want to have fun, happy sex and romance." Josie on alternative stimulation: "Vibrators are really important for girls. Boyfriends should accept them and make friends with them. I just got my first vibrator, and it's so exciting. I called my mom and said, 'This is the best! You have to get one!' I just feet open about myself, and a bit raunchy, with it. I know myself better. The thing needs a name, though. Maybe Maxim readers can write in with suggestions" |
