As previously reported, Abbie is featured on one of five Sucker Punch covers of Nylon Magazine’s April issue. The other ladies all take their own solo covers as well. I have added the photoshoot and cover image to the gallery, as well as an excerpt from the article. This magazine has yet to be put on shelves here but I’ll be picking it up as soon as it does!

“One night I was having dinner with Bradley Cooper and he was like, ‘If [the cast of the A-Team] had played paintball with [the cast of Sucker Punch] you would have kicked our butts.” It’s like, “Yeah, we know.” – Abbie Cornish

USA Today features an interesting new interview with our girl, which is accompanied by a beautiful new photo. You can read the article by clicking here. There’s also an adorable little Q&A video with Abbie, which you can check out right below.

“I think it’s really important to live in the moment,” she says. “Something I’ve noticed as I get older is that I do think about the future more. It’s all positive thinking.” For example, she says, “I can see (having) a child one day, and so I start to take more care of myself.”

If you don’t know Abbie Cornish’s work yet, you should … and will. The 27-year-old star of Bright Star, Stop-Loss and the arresting Candy (with Heath Ledger) can now be seen in theaters with Bradley Cooper in Limitless, in which a new drug can afford users access to 100 percent of their brains. She also stars in Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch – as Sweet Pea, one of a group of institutionalized women who discover they are warriors. Sucker Punch opens March 25.

Q: Was the nature of intelligence something you addressed in preparing for Limitless?

A: Particularly, there were discussions of what it would feel like to use 100 percent of your brain. It’s hard to imagine, you know? They say we only use, like, 10 percent of our brains. So it’s not like we use 50 and you just have to times it by two; we have to times it by 10.

When you’ve got a movie about a guy on drugs, what better way to show his softer side than to give him a girlfriend? Well, not only does Abbie Cornish do just that for Bradley Cooper’s character in Limitless, but her own has quite a bit of depth as well – and a heck of a fight sequence.

Cooper is Eddie Morra, a guy who gets hooked on a new illegal drug called NZT. The little clear pill gives the user the ability to use their brain’s full potential ultimately making them smarter and stronger. Cornish’s character, Lindy, is Eddie’s former flame. She ditches Eddie after he hits an all-time low, but the two reunite when Eddie becomes super Eddie courtesy of NZT. However, Eddie’s new life isn’t entirely noble and he gets mixed up with some shady characters and, of course, Lindy gets a little too involved for her liking.

With Limitless hitting theaters on March 18th and Sucker Punch arriving on the 25th, Cornish is in full press mode and came ready to spill on anything and everything from her awe of Robert De Niro to her tactics when choosing roles. Check out all of that and much more in the interview below and be sure to keep an eye out for Cornish’s big moment in the film. You won’t believe the lengths she goes to!

“At the end of day, how much can you judge someone else’s existence and their life,” says Abbie Cornish, who stars with Bradley Cooper in the new drama Limitless. “What it is that they choose to do? As long as it’s not harming anyone else, I don’t know how much judgment can be placed upon it. I kind of feel like that with a lot of things in life.”

A substantial portion of Cornish’s life is her dedication to being a vegetarian and supporting animal rights. “But at the same time, I appreciate and respect other peoples’ decisions to eat meat,” said the Australian actress, who received accolades for her work in Bright Star. “The only thing that I hope is that people are educated, that they are aware, that they are living a conscious lifestyle. The only time when my hair stands up is when someone is very ill informed, when they are arrogant, when they haven’t educated themselves and they feel like they know what is right but at the same time they haven’t explored the truth of the situation.”

Cornish grew up in a hobby farm (in Lochinvar) where the nearest corner store was 5 kilometers away, and the store was a “a post office, news agency, a fish and chips shop.” The nearest theater for the Australian actress was a 15-20 minute drive. “You’re driving in the country, 80 kilometers an hour sometimes with no traffic, so it’s a fair way,” she adds.
