Alexandra Daddario went from unknown to intimately known thanks to her role on this year's first season of the HBO series True Detective. She's also become something of an in-demand actress thanks in no small part to the exposure she received from that role. In fact, she's currently filming San Andreas, a disaster movie with The Rock.
Alexandra recently sat down for an in-depth conversation with Interview Magazine (link below) to discuss nudity...
It was the first time I was nude for anything, so I was definitely unnerved by that, but I think any implied misogyny is a result of defining the characters. You see Woody Harrelson's character as a family guy and then, all of a sudden, you see him in this very sexual situation with this naked girl. It just completely changes the way you see him.
Her role models...
I definitely have role models. But it's hard to say, "Okay, I want to be Angelina Jolie," or "I want to be Charlize Theron." Even though, yes, of course, I would love to. I really love Charlize Theron. I've never met her before, but she seems really down-to-earth in interviews, really intelligent and funny and cool—and she's just this glorious goddess who holds herself with such confidence. I'm a huge fan of Steve Martin. He's hilarious, but he has this depth to him and this way of dealing with the difficult things in life with a sense of humor that I think has helped me as an actress.
And whether or not she considers herself a tough girl...
I'm a combination between extreme insecurity and extreme confidence. [laughs] If there was an earthquake of the same magnitude as in the movie, I would be hiding in a corner somewhere, not sure of what to do.
You can come hide with us Alexandra. We wouldn't mind one bit.
