"Nutella. I dig my spoon in and eat it straight out of the jar. I can easily go through one a week"
About this Quote
It reads like a confession designed to land as a wink, not a scandal: the actress as both glamorous and blatantly human, caught with a spoon like the rest of us. Akerman’s Nutella line works because it performs relatability while smuggling in a very specific kind of control. She’s not “indulging” in some abstract way; she’s naming a branded vice, a jar you can picture, a ritual you can imitate. That specificity is the point. Nutella isn’t just chocolate-hazelnut spread; it’s a global comfort object with childhood associations, mass-market sweetness, and a faintly guilty aura that makes the admission feel intimate.
The “straight out of the jar” detail signals abandon and privacy, the opposite of curated wellness culture and red-carpet discipline. Yet the “one a week” cadence quietly reframes it as manageable, almost scheduled. It’s indulgence with boundaries, a pleasure that still fits inside a life of appearance, work, and the expectation that actresses treat appetite like a PR risk.
Context matters: celebrity interviews often trade in micro-revelations that make fame feel domesticated. This is a low-stakes rebellion against the clean-eating script, but it’s also a savvy brand of self-presentation: playful, unpretentious, safe. The subtext is, “I’m not afraid of desire,” paired with “I’m still in charge of it.” That tension is exactly what makes the line sticky - like the spread itself.
