Heigl Calls ‘Knocked Up’ ‘The Best Filming Experience Of My Career’

Days after she branded “Knocked Up” “a little sexist” in the new issue of Vanity Fair, Katherine Heigl has clarified her remarks.

Heigl, who scored box office gold with the comedy this past summer now tells People, “Knocked Up” was ““best filming experience of my career.”

“It’s important to me to take a minute and clarify the quote about ‘Knocked Up’ in Vanity Fair,” Heigl, said in a statement to the magazine.

Heigl said she was prompted into making a clarification statement about her comments so people understood where she was coming from.

“I was responding to previous reviews about the movie the interviewer brought to my attention,” Heigl said in the statement. “My motive was to encourage other women like myself to not take that element of the movie too seriously and to remember that it’s a broad comedy.

“Although I stand behind my opinion, I’m disheartened that it has become the focus of my experience with the movie. The truth is, it was the best filming experience of my career. Every person that was a part of making ‘Knocked Up’ helped to encourage, support and inspire me. I never intended for anyone to think otherwise.”
