Carey Mulligan developed a soft spot for actor Freddie Prinze Jr. when she was a teenager, and she joked that it's been hard finding other celebs to live up to him.

She said: “When I was 14, all of my school friends and me were absolutely obsessed with Freddie Prinze Jr. He seemed to be everywhere and in everything was my first celebrity crush. So it set the bar high, because everyone since then has had to live up to Freddie Prinze Jr.”

Although she doesn’t have any celebrity crushes now, Carey Mulligan does have a famous friend -- Keira Knightley.

The two young starlets first met while shooting Pride and Prejudice and have become even closer since making the critically acclaimed drama movie Never Let Me Go together.

Carey Mulligan told new! magazine: “Keira and I met on Pride and Prejudice, but we didn’t become friends until the following year, when we were promoting the film. We got close because we’re both the same age, we both live in London and have the same circle of friends. It was great to work with her again on Never Let Me Go but it’s funny because in Pride and Prejudice I only had three lines. To do something equal to her, where we’re challenging each other, is great. I feel so lucky.”

Celebrity Pictures: Carey Mulligan And Maggie Gyllenhaal

Celebrity Pictures: 

Carey Mulligan And Maggie Gyllenhaal

Carey Mulligan and Maggie Gyllenhaal came out for the opening night of the production of Three Sisters in New York City yesterday.

Maggie posed for the camera with bells and whistles on but Carey Mulligan looks…tired? Upset? A little under the weather? Maybe she did just roll out of bed and go straight to the event. Maybe it’s just one of those days for the actress.

It really has to be tough to be a celebrity and be expected to look AMAZING every time you’re out in public. Plus, with Fashion Week right around the corner, I’m sure we’ll be seeing Carey Mulligan out in her finest, very soon. She’s considered a style icon, so I have high hopes for what she’ll be wearing!

I actually kind of like when a star shows up somewhere looking like a normal person, don’t you? This wouldn’t be a bad addition to my ongoing Celebrities Without Makeup post.

Carey Mulligan Is A Sensible Person

 Carey Mulligan Is A Sensible Person

I think Carey Mulligan is gorgeous, so it’s kind of funny to hear that she doesn’t consider herself sexy, but that’s exactly what the ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” actress told Britain’s Elle Magazine.

“I’ve never felt like a sexy person… I’ve always felt like a sensible person. I’ve always felt absurd wearing anything revealing.”

She also went on to say that the Hollywood trend of looking a ‘certain way’ isn’t for her;

“I’ve always felt different here. I remember going up for auditions, walking into rooms of girls in denim minis, with cut off tank tops, tanned legs, long hair and manicures, thinking, ‘Erm…’ But it never made me feel bad. I’ve never felt pressure to look like that.”

“I’m not trying to sell myself as a visual. I’m selling my willingness to play a part really well. If your body doesn’t look normal, how can you convey normal people, how can you be relatable?”

It’s so refreshing to hear a young actress say that! I love that she’s more concerned about her work than how she looks! Wouldn’t it be nice if we embraced that attitude a little bit more in Hollywood?

Carey Mulligan Saved Keira Knightley From Retirement

 Carey Mulligan Saved Keira Knightley From Retirement

It’s hard to think of someone retiring at the age of 22, but that’s how old Keira Knightley was when she contemplated retiring from acting. Knightley spoke to British Vogue and said;

“I wasn’t enjoying what I was doing and I felt terribly guilty about that.

“I remember hating the idea that I was in a privileged position and couldn’t see the point of any of it.

“I had worked solidly since I was 16, till 22, and I had not been on holiday in all of that time.”

Fearing that she might have missed out on a ‘normal’ life, the now 25 year old actress thought about finding a new job, until the opportunity to work with Carey Mulligan on ‘Never Let Me Go’ presented itself;

“I didn’t know if I was going to go back to acting at all. I think for a long time I thought I wouldn’t. I think I intended not to work again.”

“Carey’s a very good friend of mine and I felt if I was to start making films again, she was someone who would watch my back.”

Well working from 16 years old to 22 years old without a vacation is a long time, but I think that she’s pretty fortunate with what she gets to do for work. Not sure if I would be complaining about it!

Carey Mulligan's Hollywood Award Gala Night

Carey Mulligan's Hollywood Award Gala Night

Kicking off her week with an evening out, Carey Mulligan was spotted at the 14th Annual Hollywood Awards Gala last night (October 25).

The “An Education” actress looked lovely as she presented the Breakthrough Actor Award to Andrew Garfield for his work on “The Social Network.”

Later on, Carey headed over to the Chateau Marmont, picking up a mystery male as she rode off in a taxi cab.

Carey Mulligan hates revealing clothes

Hollywood actress Carey Mulligan says she is very self-conscious when it comes to her figure and hates wearing revealing clothes.

The actress says she feels "self-conscious" when she wears outfits that are too short or tight and likes to don clothes she feels comfortable in, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I don't like wearing tight things and I'm self-conscious about clothes that are too short. Doing the red-carpet stuff is intimidating enough, so I'm wearing a lot of Prada, as the clothes are a perfect shape for me, because I'm bottom-heavy," said Mulligan.

"I am not great at having my photo taken, so I often look like I don't want to be there. Staring down the barrel of a camera feels quite unnatural," she added.
