During an interview with Elle magazine, the March cover star said:
“It was crazy. It was pretty much, like, Helen Mirren, Cate Blanchett, Saoirse Ronan, and me. Then Jennifer Lawrence came in for a little bit, and Kate Winslet, Carey Mulligan├óΓé¼┬ª. But it was kind of all that group, with all of these different press things that we had to do. You’re having meals together, and doing these roundtables├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥I felt like I was hallucinating. Most of those people I’d never met before, so it was like the moment when you’re not at the kid’s table anymore: Wow, not only am I sitting with these legends, but Kate Winslet saw me and ran across the room and grabbed me and with such a beautiful intensity said, ‘I am so fucking excited for you!’ I love her.”
Imagine being hugged by your fave! Wouldn’t you just die?!
Though she’s on a high now with her career, things haven’t always been easy for her. The 26-year-old admitted to the magazine that she doesn’t have a relationship with her father and hasn’t talked to him in a decade:
“When legally I didn’t have to have visitation with him anymore, I jumped on it. As a kid I tried to understand him and understand the situation. But he didn’t do himself any favors. I don’t think he ever really wanted to be a parent. It wasn’t until truly recently that I realized that’s why so much of my work was so volatile.
“All of the stuff I wasn’t dealing with in my actual life├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥all of this anger, my fears and my vulnerabilities├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥I didn’t feel comfortable expressing because I felt like it was part of the human code that when we’re out in the public space, everyone’s perfect and good, and we’re all nice women, and we dress well and we brush our hair and agree with these customs.”
Social customs can be chaffing, but it’s nice to hear Brie has an outlet for her baser feelings through her work. That freedom may have been what attracted her to acting in the first place.
