Jennifer Tilly lucky at love
| 21 November 2004 |
As reported by: The Calgary Sun
For Jennifer Tilly, luck is not a lady, but a hyperactive, hooded gambler.
Tilly's current beau is celebrity poker player Phil Laak, whose trademark look is a hooded sweatshirt.
"He's almost as crazy as I am and that really appeals," says Tilly, whose newest film is the horror comedy Seed of Chucky.
"I've been obsessed with poker for years. I met Phil at a celebrity match.
"They've nicknamed him the Unabomber and he's really popular for his wild image.
"I approached him to get some poker tips, but he was interested in something different."
It wasn't long before Tilly and Laak realized their mutual passions went beyond poker.
"Celebrity poker is played in some of the most exotic locales in the world, so he's always jetting off to some casino. If I can, I go with him.
"If I'm filming or promoting a movie, we keep in touch by cellphone.
"People think because we're both so hyper and crazy we'll burn each other out, but those are just our public images.
"We're not at all that crazy in private."
In addition to Seed of Chucky, Tilly has four low-budget movies in various stages of release.
"I think a couple of them will go straight to video, but I hope Saint Ralph will get a decent theatrical release.
"It's the movie I did with Campbell Scott and Gordon Pinsent.
"It's a great little Canadian movie set in the 1950s about a little kid who runs the Boston Marathon.
