The clock is running out for 2016, but we’re never running out of girl crushes! This week’s Woman Crush Wednesday is admired by men and women alike, and probably any living being on Earth really. She’s pretty, she’s talented, and she’s oh so sweet: hooray for Emmanuelle Chriqui!
We’ve been watching Emmanuelle in some of our favorite TV shows and movies for years now, and with her latest, Hulu’s Shut Eye, it’s time we celebrate how fun it is to see her on-screen.
WHO’S THAT GAL: Emmanuelle Chriqui
WHY WE’RE CRUSHING: Emmanuelle had one of the most consistent and impressive female roles on Entourage, and not just as a model or hook-up or bitchy gal. She portrayed Sloan as a sophisticated, patient, and confident woman who refused to put up with Eric’s (Kevin Connolly) BS, while remaining caring and impeccably dressed. She’s always bringing something new to her roles, especially as a hypnotist in Shut Eye. She’s an actress that can very believably place her co-star under a spell, with real magic, or just her pure charm. She seems like the kind of gal you’d want to go to yoga and get a smoothie with, right? For now, we’ll settle with watching her in a wide variety of unique roles.
WHERE YOU’VE SEEN HER BEFORE: Many people first took note of Emmanuelle in movies like Detroit Rock City, the underrated classic Snow Day, or On The Line, which she starred opposite Lance Bass (who is one of her current besties!). She also starred with Usher in In the Mix, and with Ryan Reynolds in Waiting…. She was fantastic in You Don’t Mess with the Zohan with Adam Sandler, one of her major movie roles. She’s also been in Cadillac Records, Elektra Luxx and dozens of other films, as well as popping up on some great TV shows like The O.C., The Borgias, and The Mentalist. But obviously we all have a special place in our hearts for her as Sloan on Entourage, both the show and movie.
WHERE YOU’LL SEE HER NEXT: If you’ve already binged all of Shut Eye, you’ll be happy to know Emmanuelle is currently filming the Super Troopers 2 movie which is due out next year, as well as Omphalos, a mystery-thriller slated for next fall. Plus, they’ll probably make another Entourage movie, right? Please?
