10 Things You Didn’t Know about Jessica Parker Kennedy
If you don’t know who Jessica Parker Kennedy is, you might want to start paying attention. The actress is making waves in the world of movies and television, and everyone is going to know her name before much longer. She’s young, she’s talented, and she’s got a long list of shows and movies to her name . Now is your chance to learn more about her before she’s so famous you know what she’s eating for breakfast and the press has you wondering if her recent taco lunch is a baby bump or if she also had dessert.
She’s still very young, but there are those who will say that late 30s isn’t young. We prefer mid-to-late 30s, ourselves. She was born on October 3, 1984, which means she’s still very young . She looks even younger than she is, though, which is always a good thing.
Jessica Parker Kennedy hails from the lovely country of Canada. She was born and raised in Calgary, which is located in Alberta. Which, of course, is in Canada. People sometimes fail to understand how that works, but it’s like someone from anywhere other than the U.S. asking where you’re from. You must say “Dallas, Texas,” and they might wonder where that is, and then you have to say “in the U.S.” the same way she has to say Calgary, Alberta, which is in Canada. Does that make sense, or did we lose you?
Anyone who loves dogs is all right in our book. She’s a woman who loves a dog, wants to help a dog, and really does have a fondness for the pit bull breed. She works hard to ensure that the world sees them for the beautiful dogs that they are rather than the scary dogs that the world likes to believe that they are.
She’s not a single woman. She has a boyfriend, and they are pretty serious. You see, they live together in Los Angeles. In fact, they not only live together, they bought a home together more than two and-a-half years ago, and that tells us that they are pretty serious. His name is Ronen Rubinstein.
When she’s not busy being an actress or a girlfriend or a woman who saves all the adorable dogs in the LA area, she’s busy serving as an ambassador. She doesn’t just love the dogs, you see. She also loves the ocean and she loves “Project Zero,” the program on which she serves as an ambassador working to save the ocean.
Their home is something that really makes her feel like she has to up her game in her own home . She followed them when they showed off their Nashville home, and she knew immediately she wanted to bring aspects of their design and style into her own home. Her own home, the one she bought with her boyfriend, is a small 1000-square-foot home in LA, and it’s perfect for her.
It’s so easy for people to forget this is the truth, but it’s what it is. It doesn’t matter if your home is a mansion on the beach or a cabin in the mountains or a small apartment in the city. If it’s what you love, it’s the best place in the world. And, on that note, you should love where you live. You can make anything amazing if you really put your mind to it.
She was an only child, and her mother was a single mother . This made the two of them very close growing up, and she is so appreciative of her mother for all she did for her, and they are quite close. Her mother is a retired teacher, and she taught her daughter to really love life and make it what it is today.
Who is, though? It’s an ugly thing to live with, and we hope that many people realize this. She’s not a fan of entitlement. In fact, she calls it gross, and we think that’s the best descriptive word to use for it. You work for what you have. You’re entitled to nothing, and that’s all that matters at the end of the day.
She calls herself the water police. She loves to drink water, and she definitely notices when other people do not drink it. She finds herself asking them to drink it, asking them if they’ve had enough, and encouraging them to drink more. Welcome to the club, water police twin.
Tiffany Raiford is a lifelong Floridian, wife to my high school sweetheart and mother of four littles (two girls and boy/girl twins...no, they are not identical and yes, I'm sure). My kids love to whine, so I love to wine. My loves include nap time, bed time, date night, travel and evenings and weekends when my husband is home because he handles all diaper changes.

Forget gold and pearls. The most priceless treasure on Black Sails , the new Michael Bay -produced pirate series on Starz , is Jessica Parker Kennedy . The 29-year-old actress from Calgary, Canada, is best known for her roles on the teen dramas 90210 and The Secret Circle but she's shed the adolescent angst—and some clothing—to play Max, a Machiavellian prostitute on the Caribbean island of Nassau. A stunner who's not afraid to swim with sharks in real life, JPK would give any man a reason to live through months at sea with smelly dudes and scurvy.
What attracted you to Black Sails and the role of Max?
The first thing was that it’s a period piece set in the 1700s. I’m mixed race and it’s often hard for me to fit into period pieces. On top of that, I knew they were shooting it in Capetown, South Africa and it would be a fun adventure. I’m also a fan of Michael Bay’s movies, and having his name on it obviously brought a lot clout to the idea. I was excited to be part of something he was doing. And the great thing about Max is that she’s seductive, smart, and manipulative as well, so I tried to play her that way while hopefully not doing the worst French accent ever.
How does your personality compare to hers?
I relate to Max wanting to find love and be loved but obviously we have very different jobs. And the people who live on Nassau are quite selfish because it’s survival of the fittest. Everything they do is for money and to survive. I would never manipulate somebody and put somebody in peril so that I could get rich off of it. She doesn’t do that because she’s a malicious person, she does that because she needs to survive. So there’s not a lot that we have in common other than we’re both women looking for love and a better life.
After the teen dramas, were you hesitant to play such a sexual role?
I’d been naked on stage before—it wasn’t the nudity that was scary as much as what you do when you’re naked. When you’re laying out the contracts, it’s like, “OK, you can show nipple, but you can’t show….” That part got a little intimidating. You start to work with a company that you don’t have a previous relationship with and you wonder, “Is this going to be gratuitous? Am I going to be taken advantage of?” Starz has been nothing but amazing to me. There’s sex and violence on Black Sails but it’s not gratuitous. It’s part of the story line. You can’t be on a Starz show playing a prostitute and say, “I’m not going to show my boobs.” For this particular project I agreed to full-frontal nudity.
Did you wear a merkin (pubic wig)?
Oh my god, that’s such a funny question! I say “merkin” and people are like, “What’s a merkin?” I don’t know about my cast mates but I certainly wear one.
What was the process of choosing one?
Getting fitted for your merkin is a very personal, bizarre experience. You want to stay true to the times. When it’s the 1700s, you gotta do what you gotta do, right?
How involved was Michael Bay in the production?
Mark Ryan, who plays Gates on the show is friends, with Michael Bay, so they have a solid one-on-one relationship. The rest of us only spoke to him on the phone, but he played a big part in casting us. He watched all of our tapes and had the final say on casting. I know he was very involved in the trailers and the tone of the show, but he allowed the creators of the show, Jon Steinberg and Robert Levine, to do what they want. They had to go to Michael and ask, “Do you like what we’re doing?” but he’s rarely said, “ugh” to anything. He was very positive and said yes to almost everything. He gave us an enormous amount of space to do whatever we want creatively. He didn’t make it to South Africa for the first season but I’ve heard rumors that he’ll be around for season two, which we start shooting in a couple of weeks. It’ll be very exciting meeting him.
What was your most memorable experience filming in Cape Town?
I got to go shark cage diving. Every time you see a picture of a great white shark jumping out of the water and eating a seal on National Geographic it’s shot right outside Cape Town. There’s a plethora of great whites in the ocean there. I can’t believe the surfers are out at 6 o’clock every morning in their wetsuits surfing in this water that’s littered with sharks—there are attacks every year! It looks scary but as soon as I get afraid of something, I really want to do it. My mom came to town and wanted to go, too, and I was like, “OK, if my mom wants to go, I can’t be a chicken and not go.” It was something we did together that turned out to be a really wonderful adventure. It was amazing to be in the ocean and meet great white sharks, something so majestic and beautiful.
Cage diving with sharks sounds way scarier than doing full-frontal nudity. Did you ever go swimming without a cage?
I wouldn’t swim in the water off of the beaches in Cape Town but there’s this amazing place called Seal Island where you swim with seals. I thought, “Oh, my god, I’m in a shark smorgasbord,” but the water is too shallow for the sharks to come in. These baby seals swim up between your legs. They have really big smiles full of jagged sharp teeth, so I thought I was gonna get bit but I realized that they just wanted to play and show off. They float on their backs and wash their faces. It’s the cutest thing in the world.
Does your appetite for danger extend to men?
When I was younger, the idea of the bad boy was appealing, but then I grew up and realized that stable people are more fulfilling. Bad boys need more time to themselves. I want to be in a relationship with someone who knows how to take care of himself and is therefore able to take care of me. That way we can put each other first.
