Did it get easier as time went on to film those naked moments?
Yeah, slightly. Only slightly. It's a weird thing because you're just kind of naked in a room full of very clothed people and it's just a thing the human brain isn't used to. It was an adjustment period for sure. Toward the end I got more comfortable with it. Everyone on set is just such a professional, so I trust everybody. I've spent three years with these people and they've all become like my family, so it really wasn't too uncomfortable. If it happened in the first season, that may be a different conversation, but for what it was, it couldn't have gone better.
It does feel typical for women to be put in these positions but it’s less expected from men.
Absolutely. I love that throughout this season and, more or less, throughout the show, we’re subverting that trope. I liked that we're kind of treating the male body the way that Hollywood has treated the female body for years.
So, now that we’ve talked about getting naked in front of a room full of people, let’s move into the “inappropriate questions.” You’ve actually done this with Glamour before, so I thought it would be interesting to revisit some of the ones you’ve already answered and see how your new answers measure up.
For the first one, which of the characters that you've played in the past is the most like you in a relationship?
Ugh, I feel like all my characters aren't great in relationships, especially Hughie this season. Definitely not Richie [from Scream 5]. Ben King from Plus One is not a good…I guess Hughie would be the closest. I don't think I've really gone that dark the way that I'm going this season with Hughie, but yeah, let's go with seasons one and two Hughie.
I think that this season he has to kind of come to grips with the fact that he's—I wouldn't say jealous—but I think resentful of the fact that Annie [Erin Moriarty] is the one who has that kind of power [he wants]. He really has to come to terms with that.
That matches up! You said, “I think I have a little bit more confidence than him, but how he reacts to things throughout the show…I think that’s the exact same way that I would. Though he actually might be a little braver than me.”
I still stand by that answer, for sure, because he's gone through so much and yet continues to put himself out there, especially now. So I think he's definitely braver than I am. I think I have slightly more confidence. Hughie’s projecting like he's a little bit more confident this season, but I don't think he truly is. You know, he's getting more and more self-assured as the show goes on, which I like to see.
