“I have to say this, Ridley: There’s not a lot of men that are directors who would empower a woman to be ugly on camera,” she said. “When I aged and had scenes where I was in this embarrassing, desperate state, he embraced the ugliness of this character and that should be commended, because it is ugly to be disposed of for your looks, it is ugly to be left for a younger woman.”
She added, “So I appreciate that Ridley took something that was sort of a ‘sexy murder’ and he let it be ugly.”
“We have no idea what this movie’s going to do after it opens, but it doesn’t matter because we know we made something great,” she told theTimes. “When you get to be lucky like me and be in one of his movies, you know that no matter what, this is going to last a lifetime.”
House of Guccipremieres in theaters on Nov. 24.
