For Moore and director hubby, it’s a matter of ‘Trust’
BostonHerald.com - Movie News: For Moore and director hubby, it’s a matter of ‘Trust’

In ‘‘Trust the Man,” Julianne Moore has a role much like her own life: a famous actress married with children.
So it’s not surprising to learn ‘‘Trust” (opening Friday) is a family affair - it’s the third time Moore has trusted her career to writer-director husband Bart Freundlich. Even their two children, Caleb and Liv, have cameos in the comedy, which casts David Duchovny as Moore’s stay-at-home writer husband and Billy Crudup and Maggie Gyllenhaal as their best friends.
But isn’t Moore worried viewers might think Duchovny’s unfaithful husband is autobiographical?
Moore laughed. People are more likely to think ‘‘I’m dating a sex addict,” she said.
‘‘This is fiction. The infidelity is a fiction, but there are always parts of every movie that are taken from people’s lives and stuff, because you can’t kind of help that.”
She mentioned a few, such as the moment in ‘‘Trust” when she chokes on a birthday cake. That really happened to Moore at the Golden Globes (although without the Heimlich maneuver).
‘‘And the retainer is mine,” she said. ‘‘It’s not a fake retainer. It’s a real retainer.”
‘‘Trust” also seems to eavesdrop on Moore’s life with a question about Botox.
For Moore, Botox wasn’t the issue.
‘‘Bart says, ‘Don’t touch your face.’ But actually, there was a summer when I wasn’t working and I was in a bikini the entire summer just feeling awful. I did think maybe I should get boobs. But then I just abandoned the idea.
‘‘But the horrible thing,” Moore added, ‘‘is whenever you say that, men go, ‘Oh, that’s not a bad idea.’ ”
Being a director’s wife can get complicated, if not downright irrational, when it comes to the smooching and sex scenes. Freundlich admits to being jealous.
‘‘Oh, it’s awful!” Moore said. ‘‘I’m like, ‘I’m just pretending.’ He should know that.”
As she was kissing Duchovny in the back of a cab,
‘‘Bart’s in the front seat looking at us. That’s the other thing - it is a kiss, but there are also a million people around you. I had to kiss a guy the other day for this movie I’m filming now, ‘Savage Grace,’ and his moustache color got all over my face. That’s not romantic.”
