Rashida Jones: Alcohol is my elixir

Rashida Jones

Rashida Jones has admitted that she is fond of the odd glass of wine or two.

The 36-year-old Parks and Recreation actress says that after a long day on set she loves nothing more than indulging in her favourite alcoholic beverage.

People magazine reports that fans may be surprised by how often she has a tipple.

"It happens at a frequency that might alarm you," she told the publication.

"I'm a bit of a cheap date. It only takes one drink for me to get tipsy. Red wine is my favourite, or if it's been a long day, I like a Scotch."

And although the actress has a figure many envy, she does not deprive herself from indulging in calorific food.

"I've been in England shooting a movie [Cuban Fury] and been eating lots of Hula Hoops," she laughed.

"Imagine Funyuns, but they don't taste like onions. I love that they're salty and greasy and really crunchy. I like to put them on my fingers and suck them off."

Rashida credits her potty mouth to her famous parents, Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton.

"I really enjoy curse words!" she said. "Both of my parents curse like sailors. It's a little bit genetic. I like to do it to make things more emphatic."

Working behind the scenes will yield significant rewards. If someone asks you to serve as their assistant, go ahead and accept. The pay will be excellent and there will be a lot of fringe benefits, too. Don't talk about a neighbour's private life in mixed company.More
