With her new movie “Rock of Ages” set to hit theaters on June 15th, Malin Akerman got a jumpstart on promotions by landing the cover of the May 2012 issue of Maxim magazine.
The 33-year-old actress sizzled in the scantily clad spread which includes shots of her posing in the arms of a gorilla and holding a butcher knife in one hand with a rubber chicken in the other.
Meanwhile, highlights from Miss Akerman’s interview are as follows.
On whether she’s always been funny:
“I’m more goofy than funny. I never was shy, but as far as telling jokes, I’m the worst. I like physical comedy; it’s where I feel comfortable.”
On doing all the girl-on-girl making out on Childrens Hospital:
“It’s routine at this point. There’s no, “Oh, my God, I have to make out with someone!” It’s like when you’re a kid and you’re pretending to make out with your pillow.”
On her movie ‘Rock of Ages’:
“It takes place in the ’80s, and it’s all hair-band music: AC/DC, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi. I play a reporter who comes to a rock club to do an interview with Tom Cruise’s character, a washed-up rock star who lost himself to drugs and alcohol and groupies.”
On the most embarrassing thing that would be found if her phone was hacked:
“I can’t tell you that! I guess there might be something embarrassing that I don’t want the public to know about.”
On the silliest stereotype people associate with Sweden:
“There aren’t really any negative stereotypes. A lot of times people go, ‘Oh, the Swedish bikini team!’ Which I don’t think exists. It’s that or Swedish meatballs.”
