My news?
Immaculée
, my first horror film, which I produced via my company Fifty-Fifty Films, and in which I play the main role.
I've dreamed of it since I was 16.
This is the story of Sister Cécilia, a young American nun invited to join a convent in Italy.
His stay quickly turns into a nightmare, because his new house hides sinister secrets...
Why do you have to go see
Immaculée
?
To fill up on sensations and strong emotions, and beauty too.
We remain haunted by the ending, very traumatic in my opinion.
How is my character like me?
In nothing.
What I like about acting is playing characters who are very different from me.
Create an individual from scratch and pretend that I am him.
Losing myself in roles that are a thousand miles from me... This allows me to fully let myself go when I play.
Good on the first take?
The first is still rough.
The rest depends on the director's expectations.

A subject that sets me off my hinges?
I don't see any.
I am very open, and I like to talk about everything.
I have the same approach in my profession as an actress: I don't set a priori limits on the type of scenes that I could play.
The question I'm not answering?
Exactly this one!
Another question ?
(
Laughs
.)
During filming, I am...
A little everywhere at once when I produce, in GO mode I make sure that everyone is well, that the team is happy to work together and satisfied with what they are accomplishing.

A filming secret?
I discovered, on the set of the romantic comedy
Everything But You
, that spiders have trainers.
They have a name, only work for a few minutes between breaks, which gives the impression that they are tame.
But no !
The movie spider still bit me.
I still have the marks on my wrist.
The best or worst partner?
Recently, I've been so lucky: Julianne Moore, whose daughter I play in the thriller
Echo Valley
for Apple TV+, Daniel Brühl and Jude Law for
Eden
, by Ron Howard.
The grueling shoot brought us closer together.
Worst partner?
The spider from
Everything But You
!
What do I think in the morning when I look at my makeup?
On my
to do list
for the day, always too substantial.

Sydney Sweeney
A misunderstanding about me?
People find me very Zébulon on set.
You'd think I'm drinking too much coffee or energy drinks, but I'm on the water.
A sports reflex that I have kept (
she was an MMA champion, Editor's note.
) And when I need a boost, I reach for gummies instead.
The review that made me happy?
The one received for
Reality
, the film adapted by Tina Satter from the play she staged on Broadway.
We shot it with pieces of string, we all really got involved in this project: the true story of whistleblower Reality Winner, who leaked NSA documents exposing the attempted interference Russian during the 2016 US presidential election. It was a real gem, a gift to play.
What am I going to do after this interview?
I'm continuing with a photo shoot, and, this evening, I'm going to curl up on my couch with my dog Tank (
a pit bull mix adopted from a shelter, Editor's note
) and a good book.
I'm a real bookworm, always looking for material to adapt for the screen.
