Saturday August 9, 2008


John Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, called the former Democratic presidential hopeful an "inspiration" in a 2007 interview. Watch above.

"He was very real and authentic," Hunter, a filmmaker, told Extra. "He was an inspiration to me.

"One of the great things about John Edwards is that he's so open and willing to try new things and do things in new ways," she added.

John, 55, admitted Friday to having an affair with Hunter, 44, in 2006.

"In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic," he said. "If you want to beat me up – feel free."

Elizabeth, his wife of 31 years who is battling an incurable form of cancer, blogged, "he has his family waiting for him."

John met Hunter at a NYC bar. She later produced films for his presidential campaign. Watch two of the clips below.
