Jennifer Love Hewitt is opening up about the comments on her body she’s been receiving since stepping back into the spotlight.
The 46-year-old actress recently spoke to Vulture about her return to the spotlight and why comments about her body were the only thing she was nervous about.
“What people were going to say about how much older I would seem than when I was 18. That’s literally the only thing I was anxious about,” Jennifer told Vulture in the interview, noting that she was only 16 when she filmed her scenes in the original I Know What You Did Last Summer movie.

“It bothers me more now than it did at that age because I was in it. Before I even knew what sex was, I was a sex symbol. I still don’t know that I have that fully defined for myself because it started so weird,” Jennifer told Vulture, specifically recalling an interview with Jay Leno in which the talk show host heavily focused on her age and love life.
Still, Jennifer says she doesn’t blame people like Jay for asking those questions since it was the norm at the time.
She told Vulture, “Nobody was saying, ‘Don’t talk to women like that. Don’t talk to little girls like that.’ But I worked hard on that movie. I brought good stuff to it, and no one was talking about it. It was just ‘Boob, boob, boob’ everywhere.”
