When she bared her killer bod and kicked Arnold's ass as a super-sexy cybernetic organism in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Kristanna Loken secured her status as a fanboy-approved mega-babe. We talked to the bombshell about the ongoing bloodshed in Africa and other less genocide-y type things...
Are you still recognised a T-X?
Terminator is still my biggest film, and I still get fan mail for it, but people recognise me for lots of things. The L Word has a huge following, so I get that a lot.
Tell us about your latest movie, Darfur.
That was a real blood, sweat and tears project. The movie is brutal, and it's all based on actual events. It was an interesting style of working, because we didn't have a script, just a 30-page treatment.
Was making up your own lines more difficult than acting without any, like in Terminator?
It was different. I spent a month beforehand boning up on the crisis. For Terminator it was more of a physical challenge... I put on 15 pounds of body muscle and changed my body shape.
What do you remember from your time with the Governator?
He could never get my name right, even after I'd spent lots of time with him. I don't think he called me the same thing twice!
You're starring as Hottessa in the upcoming National Lampoon's The Legend of Awesomest Maximus. Is that a tribute to our website?
No, sadly. It's a broad comedy, a spoof movie. I'm also working on an action film called S.W.A.T.: Fire Fight. I play Robert Patrick's ex-girlfriend, and we get caught in a hostage situation. It'll be a neat thing for Terminator fans to see me and the T-1000 working together in a different capacity.
How was your Maxim shoot?
I think your readers will enjoy the shots, put it that way!
