Apparently, Josh Safdie, the director of Netflix Movie Uncut Gems was inspired by Julia Fox. Check out the actress&#039; shocking confession.

Netflix Movie Uncut Gems Star Julia Fox Calls Herself Josh Safdie’s Muse

The newly minted A-lister, Julia Fox has been on the news a lot lately. Having
starred in the Netflix movie Uncut Gems, she garnered a lot of attention.
However, the tabloids’ obsession with the star started with her affair with
famed rapper, Kanye West. Considering all the mess Kanye gets mixed up in, it
was likely that his girlfriend would receive a lot of spotlight. But now with
the pair having broken up after 2 months of dating, Julia’s Josh Safdie’s muse
meme has been going around a lot. Was the Lower East Side IT girl really the
inspiration for Josh?

Julia confessed that she was Josh Safdie’s muse in Uncut Gems on the Call Her
Daddy podcast. Josh Safdie is the director of the Netflix production, Uncut
Gems. She made the confession when the host Alex Cooper asked her whether she
also inspired the rapper. According to her, she may have been his muse too, but
she can’t be sure of that. She goes on to explain

that Julia, her character in the Netflix movie Uncut Gems, draws a lot from her
own personality. “Being independent, resilient, being a hustler, having a
ride-or-die mentality, and overall just being really cute.”

HER ALLURING PERSONALITY CAUGHT JOSH’S ATTENTION 

Josh has previously mentioned his reasons for casting her in Uncut Gems
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/uncut-gems]. He was immediately taken with her
alluring nature. Julia’s hard-to-pin-down personality got her the big acting
break. “I remember stumbling into her universe through a friend of a friend of a
friend of a friend … and at first, you couldn’t quite figure out the type of
person that she was, and it was very, very alluring. It was exciting. She was
constantly redefining who you thought you were talking to.”

The dark tense thriller Uncut Gems follows Adam Sandler’s character who makes
high stakes bet. Josh has revealed that the movie is loosely based on his
father’s stories. His father used to work under an outsider, Howard, in the
Diamond District. The real life Howard is the surprising inspiration behind the
reel character.
