As she threw up out of a car in the middle of Brooklyn’s Atlantic Avenue, Alexandra Daddario wondered if she should just get her pregnancy announcement over with. She’d kept the whole thing quiet for six months—wearing baggy clothing, posting tightly cropped photos on her Instagram, and avoiding pretty much everyone. But, as horns blared and people shouted at her to get out of the road, she realised the logical conclusion of not telling people you’re pregnant is…no one knows you are pregnant. Instead: “They just thought I was drunk,” Daddario says.
The incident didn’t make it to Deuxmoi or anything. (”Another reason I’m glad I’m not more famous,” she adds.) But the actor took it as a sign that it might be time to make the news public. There’s only so much an oversized shirt can do anyway, and one day, someone, somewhere, with an iPhone was going to figure it out. “I want to be able to not have to hide and have someone print a photo of me eating a bagel at the bodega,” she says.
So instead she’s telling me and my recorder in her Dumbo loft, where she lives with her husband, film producer Andrew Form. Daddario’s just finished taking photographs in Khaite and Phoebe Philo—her first real experiment with maternity style. Until recently, she’s been shooting the second season of AMC’s Mayfair Witches in New Orleans, wearing “whatever my character was wearing.”
