Versatility is the hallmark of a serious actor.
And she’s not resting on her laurels.
In an exclusive interview with The List, she shared what she loved about the experience.
Originally, the project came to me … maybe October, November of last year.
Then it came back around in January and I’m like, “Yeah.
I like this script.
I loved this script the first time I read it.
If there’s still an opening, I’m down for it.”
I got to do a chemistry read with Jojo T. Gibbs, and we hit it off.
When I came on, it felt seamless.
It felt very meant to be, to be a part of that film.
Reese Witherspoon is one of the producers.
Did you get to work with her at all?
That was another thing.
I love the types of projects that they’re creating.
As an actor, as a director, I love that they’re female-led or female-directed.
Hello Sunshine played a huge role in wanting to be a part of this film.
I loved her love for her wife.
I love certain characters that are built around specifically that.
My one job in this film is to love the heck out of her.
Can you reflect a bit on that?
I love the diversity in this film.
But in this film, it’s just who we are.
We’re all just existing.
Do you have any thoughts on that?
Our romance is very normal, and it’s strong.
We’ve been together for a while.
It’s never anything that is too explosive.
Oh my gosh, [the others are] all over the place.
It feels like they don’t really know each other.
They don’t know who the person is.
I loved being able to play a grounded character in that world.
This is quite a departure from your role in “Batwoman.”
What was it likegetting into the mood to do a Christmas movie?
It felt like a relief.
We did nothing but laugh the entire time on set, danced, made jokes, sang.
It was so much fun.
