Chances are, all you pervs already recognize 23-year-old ALEXIS DZIENA from baring all in front of Bill Murray in Broken Flowers or her group sex scene with Macaulay Culkin in the recently released Sex And Breakfast. However, with her upcoming role as the daughter of Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson in Fool's Gold, Dziena is about to prove she's more than just another pretty face.INTERVIEW: Jonah Bayer PHOTO: Carrie Schecter How did you initially get interested in acting? When I was in fifth grade, someone from my school approached me to be in a high school play. I went out and there were all these cute older boys talking to me, so I thought acting was great. [Laughs.] Then as I got older and kept doing plays, I discovered that I really loved the craft itself. What's Sex And Breakfast about? It basically follows two couples who are having problems in the bedroom for different reasons. They both go to the same therapist to try to fix it, and the therapist suggests group sex. It doesn't focus a whole lot on that event, but more on the pressures that made them do that and the aftermath. So did you have any sex scenes with Macaulay Culkin? Yeah, we had a day where we did the group sex scene, and everyone was a little nervous. I remember the director got in his underwear, too, so we could all have a big laugh about it. [Laughs.] It looks a lot better on screen; in the moment it's very funny and silly and awkward and pretty technical. What kind of music are you listening to these days? I'm pretty eclectic with my taste in music, although I've always been a big fan of Pixies and PJ Harvey. I play piano and drums and cello, so I'm a big fan of music in general. You should jam out with your co-star in Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist, Michael Cera. He plays a pretty mean guitar in Juno. Yeah, he and I have talked about that. What do you think that project would sound like? I don't know. With drums, the only way I've done it is to play along to someone else while they're on guitar. I have no idea what [Cera's musical] style is, but I'm sure it would be great.
