Eugenia Kuzmina doesn't fit the typical stand-up comedian mold. The former gorgeous Russian model looks more like she just stepped out of a James Bond movie but Kuzmina swears she's not a spy – she just wants to make people laugh.
"I love doing comedy," Kuzmina told Headlines & Global News in an exclusive interview. "I just love making people laugh. I feel like it's been a revelation for me and I want to continue to grow on that path whatever it is, film or on stage. It's definitely my favorite."
The 30-year-old actress appears in the new film "Rock the Kasbah," starring Bill Murray and Kate Hudson. She also has roles in the upcoming movies "The Family Fang," starring and directed by Jason Bateman, and plays a hippie in "Dirty Grandpa" opposite Zac Efron.
"I have a really small part but it’s comedic and it’s so fun," she said about her role in "Dirty Grandpa," which also stars Robert De Niro.
As Kuzmina continues to brave the stage performing stand up at The Comedy Store and Flappers Comedy Club in Los Angeles, her ultimate goal is to work with the best directors, writers and performers in the entertainment industry.
"I'm open to different projects. I think it’s more important to work with directors that I really love," she said. "It’s only my third year acting so I just want to be around people I admire and go for that."
