Phebe Starr has a complicated relationship to summer. The musician has spent the last few years low-key releasing a string of albums, dropping her debut Heavy Metal Flower Petal back in 2022, and then following it up with this year’s Dirt. Both records have a faint glow, one familiar to the songs that come up in your suggested songs on Spotify when you listen to Chappell Roan.But still, despite that somewhat glow, Starr “wasn’t genetically built” for summer. “I hate playing in summer, if I'm honest,” Starr explains.”I'm extremely translucent and white with freckles, so it's always a struggle in the heat."I grew up on the mid-north coast of Australia with a surfy family by the beach, so it's been a constant battle throughout my life to try and avoid the sun while ending up in really sunny situations. Being a musician on the festival circuit is one of those situations.”So it goes. “I've learned to lean into it,” she says. “Sometimes it can inspire an outfit—a giant hat, a veil, and a quick exit from the stage. Where there is a problem, creativity thrives!”As to her plans for this forthcoming summer, Starr is looking forward to changing gears. The process of writing and releasing
Dirt was “all-consuming."
She describes the record as “connected to the past," and refuses the idea it’s connected to nostalgia. “Unlike nostalgia, I wanted to explore being connected to heritage and understanding the sources of inspiration and symbolism we draw from to build on our collective narrative. The downside of social media is that we are losing reference to where things come from. We are losing deeper meaning.”But now that
Dirt is done, Starr’s gaze has changed direction again. “My number one tip would be not to worry about what everyone else is doing and work with what you've got,” she says. “I had horrible experiences growing up, with people negging me to get a tan and wear more revealing clothing, but I never felt comfortable doing that and and that developed my grandma style which I love. I found my way of doing things.”Like her music career, sun safety is something that Starr does on her own terms, which makes for an idiosyncratic journey. “I enjoy the shade, chilling under trees, wearing oversized clothing, applying my mineral sunscreen, and carrying a giant parasol like I'm from the 18th century,” Starr says.

Julia Stiles has reflected on Heath Ledger's "magnetic presence" in an Australian interview and spoken about how special it was working with him on 10 Things I Hate About You.Stiles played Kat Stratford in the iconic comedy, and Ledger played her bad boy romantic interest, Patrick Verona. Though the 1999 blockbuster didn't win any huge awards, it has undoubtedly gone down in history as one of the best rom-coms of the era.Speaking of working with Ledger on the film, Stiles told
Daily Telegraph; "He was a very magnetic presence on set, and he was like this force."She added: “He had a zest for life and just was like always, he was never checked out. He was always totally engaged with everybody. Really interesting, remarkable person and actor.”Ledger passed away in January 2008 at age 28, just months before he posthumously won an Academy Award for his portrayal of the Joker in
The Dark Knight. His cause of death was ruled as an accidental drug overdose.Stiles addressed Ledger's untimely passing in the same interview. “It’s a shame because we would have, you know, we would have been able to see him do more incredible work had he not passed away,” she said.“That summer was very, very special and ultimately rare because we were all actors on that, it was kind of their first," Stiles added of their work together on
10 Things I Hate About You.She continued, “We jumped in and we were all so open-hearted and not self-conscious, which I learned later doesn’t always happen on a set. It was a really special time.”While Stiles and Ledger weren't romantically involved in real life, she did date
10 Things I Hate About You co-stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt post-production.Last year, the movie's director Gil Junger appeared as a special guest on the YouTube series
Mirá a Quién Encontré (Look Who I Found), where he delved into the pair’s off-screen romance.“They were very, very attracted to each other,” Junger said of the two. “She’s professing her love to [onscreen boyfriend Heath Ledger] and she’s in love with a guy waiting in his trailer to shoot the next scene.”Junger noted that Stiles and Gordon-Levitt only shared a few scenes together. “She, for a minute or 10, went out with Joseph Gordon-Levitt,” he continued.“They were very, very attracted to each other, which was cool.”For more on this topic, follow the
