After being somewhat MIA over the last few years, blonde-headed Claire Danes has made a few feisty splash as of late. For example, the American TV/movie actress is featured on the May cover of ASOS Magazine broadcasting her love for a killer bargain.

Claire Danes on ASOS May 2012 cover“I’m a sales slut, says Danes, who currently portrays Carrie Mathison on Showtime’s Homeland.   “I’m just seduced by a sale. I go through phases where sometimes I’m a fiend and then there are dry spells that can last for months. But my wardrobe is a mixture of vintage and contemporary stuff.”

The ASOS interview also got Danes to dish about her love for the Big Apple. The actress, who grew up in New York,  gushes, “It’s home in the most absolute sense for me. I love how diverse it is and I love the pace. It’s always churning and changing and I’m always hustling to keep up with it.”

In other recent Claire Danes-related news, the 33-year-old affectionately dissed former co-star Leonardo DiCaprio about his weight gain since they filmed Romeo and Juliet together in 1996. Of the movie she says, “That was a lot of fun. If you’re going to be an ingenue, that’s the one to be — the ultimate,” she said. “I saw Leo (DiCaprio) the other day and in some ways, our dynamic is absolutely the same, but then it’s like, ‘Oh, but wait, we’re big fat grown-ups!’”

Danes  wasn’t the only person to recently comment on Leo’s current physique, though. Kate Winslet, who filmed Titanic with DiCaprio in 1997, says, “We do look very different, we’re older. Leo’s 37, I’m 36 — we were 21 and 22 when we made that film. You know, he’s fatter now — I’m thinner.”

Claire Danes in Homeland Leo hasn’t addressed the comments, but we assume he took them in stride and humor as Danes and Winslet had intended.

Homeland, a drama based on the Israeli series Hatufim (“Abducted”),  is currently filming its second season. It’s slated to premier on Sunday, September 30th at 9 p.m. EST.
