Emily VanCamp is one of the most talented young female actresses on TV, which means that she doesn’t have to pull a Kim Kardashian. There’s no need for the rising star to get half naked, but if she wants to open up her top and put on short shorts, who are we to stop her?

The star of ABC’s addictive show Revenge got sexy for GQ. We’re grateful.

On dating co-star Josh Bowman: “I don’t really ever talk about that part of my life, but I’m also not going to stop living my life. I want to live happily. And if I love a person, I’m not going to be ashamed and hide it.”

On what she likes to do for fun: “I did ballet, which taught me how to be poised and graceful, but still, to this day I’d rather be fishing than going to some glamorous party. It’s so therapeutic.”
