10 Recent Movie Characters That Totally Messed Up Actors
10. Thomasin McKenzie (Eloise "Ellie" Turner) - Last Night In Soho
Simply put, method acting just isn't for everyone. And that's a lesson Thomasin McKenzie had to figure out on her own over the course of shooting Edgar Wright's latest slice of stylish horror by the name of Last Night in Soho.
Whilst playing the role of Ellie Turner, a character who finds herself thrown into the dark underbelly of 1960's London over the course of the supernatural flick, it quickly dawned on the Jojo Rabbit sensation that she didn't need to keep putting herself through the wringer just because her character was going through a tough time.
As she put it when talking to Collider:
"While filming 'Last Night in Soho', I thought that in order to give a good performance, if Ellie was suffering then I should be suffering, but that's not true."
With McKenzie also revealing that she needs "distinction between (herself) and who (she's) playing, especially when taking on dark subject matters", it's clear that after dipping her toe in these overly-immersive waters that going to this extent to breathe life into a disturbed character just isn't Thomasin's cup of tea.
