She played Adam Sandler’s girlfriend inUncut Gems
Fox’s acting debut came in 2019’sUncut Gems, portraying the girlfriend of star Adam Sandler’s character Howard. She toldRefinery29that year that acting proved to be “pretty easy” for her.
“It’s not rocket science. Just, like, act and react, and memorize your lines. You really have to be able to let go, lose control and destroy your ego,” she explained. “You’re not you. You have to let go of yourself and be this whole other person and really feel the scene that you’re in. There is an art to it. You either have it or you don’t, I think.”

The breakout star also discussed filming an “intimidating” scene with singerThe Weeknd, telling the outlet: “I had never met him before, and the bathroom was really tiny. We were flirting with each other — acting flirting, not real flirting — and it’s such and intimate scene. I was kind of like, ‘I hope I’m not sweating. I hope you can’t tell how nervous I am.’ But after a few minutes, he’s so chill and so humble and funny and nice. Just a regular guy who just happens to be super, super talented.”

She worked as a dominatrix as a teen
The star has been open about previous sex work she did as a teenager, tellingRolling Stonethat working as a role-playing dominatrix actually helped her hone her acting skills.
“This was back when Craigslist still had an ‘adult gigs’ section. I was scrolling, and in between ads for prostitutes, I clicked on one that said ‘no nudity, no sex.’ That appealed to me,” she told the magazine in July 2020.
“You’re given a few words on what the client’s interests are and then you have to build from there and improvise the rest,” added Fox. “So imagine having to do that multiple times a day in different outfits — a nun, teacher, nurse, mom — according to the clients' desires. I went in an angsty teenager and left a really self-assured woman.”
Her other early jobs included working at a shoe shop, an ice cream parlor and a pastry shop.
She struggled with drug addiction in her past
Fox suffered a near-fatal drug overdose at 17 years old. She toldThe Hollywood Reporterin January 2020, “It’s kind of a miracle that I’m okay because a lot of the people I grew up with aren’t doing so well. They’re still on drugs or in jail. A lot of them died.”
According to aNew Yorkerprofilefrom July, Fox is now sober after her past addiction struggles with heroin and pills.
