  • Jennifer Love Hewitt said she watched "Framing Britney Spears"
  • The actress recalled how media asked her about wearing a "low top"
  • She wished her "acting had overshadowed all that"

It seems the "Framing Britney Spears" documentary has created a huge impact on many female celebs who have been targeted by the media. Jennifer Love Hewitt has recalled how she was asked "incredibly inappropriate" questions while filming for "Heartbreakers."

"It's interesting, I just watched the Britney Spears documentary [Framing Britney Spears], and there's that whole section in there, talking about her breasts," Hewitt noted in an interview with Vulture on Monday. "At the time that I was going through it, and interviewers were asking what now would be incredibly inappropriate, gross things, it didn't feel that way."

"I mean, I was in barely any clothing the whole movie. For some reason, in my brain, I was able to just go, Okay, well, I guess they wouldn't be asking if it was inappropriate," she added.

The Disney star further revealed that she was questioned about wearing a "low top" in "I Know What You Did Last Summer," which was released in 1997.

"But now, as a 42-year-old woman with a daughter, I definitely look back on it and go, Ew," she said. "And it really started with 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' because that was the first time that I had worn a low top, and on Party of Five, my body was very covered."

"At a press junket for 'I Know or I Still Know What You Did Last Summer,' I remember purposely wearing a T-shirt that said 'Silicone Free' on it because I was so annoyed, and I knew something about boobs was gonna be the first question out of [reporters'] mouths. I was really tired of that conversation," she told the magazine.

Hewitt noted how hard she worked on the 2001 film "Heartbreakers," but was really disappointed that the media made it all about her body.

"With Heartbreakers, that was a big part of it. I was disappointed that it was all about body stuff, because I had really worked hard in that movie to do a good job as an actress," Hewitt admitted. "So I remember one specific moment wishing that the acting had overshadowed all that — that for five minutes, they had said I was really great in the movie versus made a body comment."

Hewitt is currently working on Fox Now action fiction series "9-1-1."
