“When I went for the look test, I tried a wig, but I didn’t feel anything with it. It didn’t look real and wasn’t even moving with the wind. I wanted to fully get into the character. I felt that if I’ve got the role, I’ll give it 150% emotionally and physically,” she shared. According to the actress, the physical transformation played a key role in helping her internalize the character, a decision that clearly paid off.
