Felicity Huffman is addressing those rumors that she was drunk on the set of “Georgia Rule”: She was. Some.
“OK, it’s a little true. I was drunk a little bit of it, but not a lot,” the “Desperate Housewives” star tells Parade magazine. She wasn’t, she insists, falling down drunk. “No, unfortunately. I wish I could have done it drunk.”
Huffman says the reason for her drinking was not angst over the behavior of co-star Lindsay Lohan, who was rumored to be partying hard on the set. In fact, Huffman vigorously defended Lohan.
“Once people see the movie, God willing, the performances will eclipse any gossip,” Huffman said. “People always love gossip whether it’s true or not. To me, Lindsay was a complete and utter delight. The minute I met her, I just loved her. She meets you with an open heart and wide-open eyes and gets right in there. She cares about the work. She throws herself in, 100 percent. I just adored her. She’s fantastic in the movie. It doesn’t get any better than what she did. Brilliant.”
