Elisha Cuthbert Covers ‘Flare’ July 2011

Elisha Cuthbert rocks a Herve Leger by Max Azria dress and earrings by Mawi on the cover of Flare magazine’s July 2011 issue, on newsstands June 13.

Here’s what the 28-year-old Happy Endings actress had to share:

On Alex, her Happy Endings character: “I’m more like this character than any other character I’ve played. Though [Alex] has an airiness about her whereas I’m more neurotic, more intense. I’m a pretty deep thinker.”

On her parents letting her move to Hollywood on her own at age 18: “They knew I was mature enough and not one of those wild children. This was my college experience, really.”

On making an effort to reform her shopping habits: “There was a time that I was splurging quite a bit on fashion but then I realized, I’m going to be broke! I realized I had to find a way to express myself without being covered head to toe in designer clothing. I mix it up now.”

On cheering on her boyfriend, Toronto Maple Leaf Dion Phaneuf: “I love to watch him play.”
