Diane Kruger forced to re-evaluate her life

Diane Kruger’s latest film role forced her to re-evaluate her life. The actress and former model — who is in a relationship with actor Joshua Jackson – plays a French journalist kidnapped by the Taliban in Special Forces and she admitted researching the role by speaking to female journalists who had suffered the same fate caused her to rethink her own career.

“I researched the role for four months, interviewing female journalists who were kidnap victims, and I think it’s changed me as a person,” she said.

“It’s as though I felt quite ignorant before this, or maybe it’s just part of growing up. I always thought I had a pretty accomplished life: a famous model who speaks three languages and keeps a place in Paris. This role has certainly put me in my place a little bit.”

Diane Kruger, 34, spent four weeks living in the Himalayas while filming the movie and revealed it was difficult to adjust to her new living arrangements.

“It was a lot harder than I anticipated. Eighteen-hour car rides, dirt roads that are not really roads, freezing cold at night, everyone is sleep deprived, and everything is incredibly difficult and hard. I’ve broken down crying sometimes, but so have many of the boys,” she said.

“It was also truly breathtaking, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
