Alexandra Daddario flashed her toned tummy this week as she chatted up her new project, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches.
The 36-year-old White Lotus star was posing for InStyle’s Self Love issue as she talked about how Hollywood has changed over the decades.
During her interview with writer Alyssa Hardy the siren – who was seen in New York City last month – said that she has seen things get better for the ladies – both in front of and behind the camera.
‘It shouldn’t be a touchy subject, but when I started out, I wasn’t meeting with female directors. It was all men that you met with,’ said the former fashion model.
‘There’s been a huge shift [in Hollywood] as far as how we want to portray women, the number of women working behind the scenes, the number of leading roles for women is increasing,’ she shared as she said she ‘loves’ seeing more women in front and behind the camera.

Fame came early for Alexandra. In 2002 she was only 15 when she started working on All My Children.
Then came the Percy Jackson movies starting in 2010. The beauty – who was pH๏τographed by Emma Anderson – shared, ‘I never was like, “I’ve made it.”‘
And the star added, ‘Even now I don’t feel like, this is it, I’m good for life now. I’m very, very proud of what I’ve accomplished, and I’m grateful, but it’s a ladder.
‘You’re always sort of trying to figure it out,’ she offered.
‘When you reach a certain age, and you’re still doing it, you go, “Well, I’m not going back to Marymount now to get my degree and figure out what to do; this is my job.”‘
As far as the future she said she was not ‘super-strategic.’
Daddario admitted, ‘For the majority of my twenties, no one was throwing offers at me.’
‘There’s stuff I’ve done that people don’t take super seriously, which is fine, but I’ve always taken my characters seriously, and so I’ve always found something in each project.’
Thanks for that: ‘It shouldn’t be a touchy subject, but when I started out, I wasn’t meeting with female directors. It was all men that you met with,’ said the former fashion model
Instead she takes it day by day.
‘I think it’s hard to make plans because you have to adjust them so much. I’m feeling that if you make plans, then you get laughed at by God or whomever. Anything can happen,’ noted the star who is wed to Andrew Form.
Daddario and her new character Rowan in Mayfair Witches both struggle with growing up and aging, she said.
‘I think a lot of us feel [like Rowan],’ she noted. ‘You have your survival mechanisms, things that you do to help yourself be happy.
