It cannot be helped if actors would go deeper than the usual in exploring the characters they will play. Their roles can just suddenly pop even in the scenes of their real lives as real people.
Mara received a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Lisbeth Salander in ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.’ She mentioned during her interview with David Letterman that she somehow acted in defense like her role during a wedding of her friend when some drunk guy tries to harass her.
As for the actress, she said that it is really hard to come out of the character you have portrayed so deeply. She said that he grabbed the throat of the drunk guest and said her Lisbeth lines, “Put me down. I will hurt you.”
Check out more of her in the film by December 20.
