Jennifer Love Hewitt wants to be a dork,but doesn’t believe in ghosts
Jennifer Love Hewitt plays in “Ghost Whisperer”,but she does not believe in ghosts.
The actress explains “The hopeful part of me would really like to,” she wavers. “The other part of me goes, ‘Well, maybe not.”‘
On her role “”The first season, it was very tough not to bring her home with me,” says Hewitt, “especially the days we were doing the crossing-over scenes. I had to go, ‘Wait a minute — these are stories, and although Melinda is someone we all should strive to be, I can’t on a daily basis — and still make it through a work schedule.’
“Now, at the end of the day, I go: ‘OK, Melinda, you’re a wonderful person. Good night.”‘
The most suprising part of the interview ,is when she reveals “I WANT to be a dork!” she insists, laughing. “It’s fun to be goofy and silly.”
All these years, Hewitt has been on a personal quest as much as a career path, where “I wasn’t really focused on changing my image. I wanted to grow up in the public eye the way that I was actually growing up, which is a slow process, happening over time.
“This show has definitely helped me do it in a seamless manner,” she adds, “playing a young woman who is married but also has an innocence and a childlike quality about her.”
