MEGAN STALTER
Comedian and Actor
The comedian and actor won over audiences as an impossibly confident, woefully incompetent nepo baby in "Hacks." She’ll woo us again as the romantic lead in Lena Dunham’s forthcoming Netflix series "Too Much."
IF YOU COULD ATTRIBUTE YOUR SUCCESS TO A SINGLE QUALITY, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I believe that any success I have is because I love and know God. The special thing about me is that I love myself so much and have so much fun with myself. I think that’s because I felt God’s love for me first. It’s easier to love yourself if you believe a higher power loves you. God makes me feel free, and funny, and alive. Oh, also I have a huge rack!
ARE PEOPLE EVER STARSTRUCK BY YOU? Yes! Next question.
“It’s easier to love yourself if you believe a higher power loves you. God makes me feel free, and funny, and alive. Oh, also I have a huge rack!”
WHAT DO YOU WANT NEXT FOR YOURSELF ABOVE ALL ELSE? I want to open up a restaurant. Kidding, but I have learned to cook this year and it’s become one of my favorite hobbies. I just want to keep working on projects that excite me with people I’m obsessed with being around. I think it would be fun to do something really dramatic, or maybe a horror film. But above all else, I just want to hold on to the things I have—my partner, friends, family, and God. I’ve won the lottery every day for forever.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF IN YOUR INDUSTRY? LESS OF? I would love to see fewer red carpets and more pool parties. How fun would it be if instead of walking the red carpet, everyone was just swimming around waving at each other? I would also love to see more mixed-genre films. Sci-fi/coming-of-age? Mystery/comedy? I want a rom-com/slasher where you don’t know if you’re going to get a kiss or a jump scare.
in your life?
