Life advice: Malin Åkerman on playing horny in the juicy 'The Hunting Wives' adaptation
The treasure: Actor Malin Åkerman may have been born in Sweden, but she was raised in Ontario — complete with a very Canadian pro figure-skating career — so we're delighted to claim her as our very own treasure. She's become well-known in Hollywood, too, thanks to her roles in everything from big action spectacles ('Watchmen,' 'Rampage') to acclaimed TV comedies ('Childrens Hospital,' 'The Comeback').
The new thing: Now Åkerman is relishing one of the most fun genres yet: the juicy drama. She stars as horny small-town-Texas socialite Margo Banks in 'The Hunting Wives,' a fun adaptation of May Cobb's bestselling mystery thriller about a shy mom, Sophie (Brittany Snow), who gets into trouble when she starts hanging out with the titular swinging, hard-partying crew, led by the slightly menacing Margo. (Margo busts out her tatas as a power move during her very first scene, so you know she means business.)
