That I was too mature, so I couldn't, I wasn't going to make it because I was too mature. I didn't have that kid-like kind of, that kid-like thing, right? And so I went home and I cried and I cried and I said, I'm not going to do it anymore. Like, I don't want to act anymore. My parents were like... My parents, my dad, actually. My mom was very much always like, whatever you want, we love you.
Whatever you want, you know what I mean? But my dad... Go on, darling. Your accent is actually not too bad. Thank you.
But yeah, my dad saw something and he, you know, he...
always saw that drive in me and was like never letting like would never let me you know slip on that and so he was like there's this audition in my inbox let's do the last one and then we're done like we don't have to do anymore and that last audition was stranger things wow and so you auditioned from uh in england on that same day i was so upset from from what on the same day
It was the same day, and my dad just, like, we set it up, and I just went on a blank wall, read the script, and was like, what? Like, she doesn't have any lines. She just cries.
Yeah, but it didn't even say anything. It didn't say, like, she had superpowers, her name was Levin, nothing like that. It was just, like, girl, confused, like, doesn't seem like she's kind of human. And I was really vague. And I just did what felt natural, but also used so much of the emotion that had been happening earlier on in that day.
Really raw.
Yeah. I had long hair, and then... Didn't hear from them for three months and kind of stopped auditioning. Like, didn't audition. Three months. And then I got an email saying, hey, you know, the directors of that show that you auditioned for really like you. Can we Skype? So I Skyped with them. I Skyped with them. Yeah, I know.
I said that the other day and people younger than me were like, I don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah. And I did an American accent the whole time because I didn't want them to know I was British. So they had no idea I was British. I basically wanted them to know that I could hold an American accent for that long without them knowing. So they could rely on me. So then after the Skype… They were like, can you fly out to LA? So my dad and I flew out to LA. And this is kind of the weird part.
And I said this in my speech on the last day of filming. But we got on the plane. And at this point, I knew that my character's name was Eleven. And I was on row 11. And then we got to the hotel. I was on floor 11. Wow. And everything just seemed really, really weird. Like everything felt way too real and kind of positive and optimistic for the first time in kind of like years.
And then, you know, I went in and I met with them. And I remember it was really weird. They didn't have any lines for me. They just were like, here's a box of clothes. What would you do if you weren't like human? If you didn't know who you are, like... You weren't like, you know, a normal regular girl. What would you do with this? And I just like kept like putting the clothes like on my head.
And then like just kind of feeling them. And I think they were like, shit. She's crazy. We found her.
That too. They didn't realize that then, but I think they do now.
It was very good. And then the next day, I got a call in the hotel room as I was leaving back to Heathrow. And then it was the directors and they said, do you want to be our 11 and can you shave your hair off? And I was like, yes and yes. And then literally three months later, I was shaving my hair off.
I think. You know what, though? I just feel like growing, like even grow, like that to me, like doesn't even like really scrape the surface. Like it's like growing up in the industry, I, you know, it can get like that. People see you as an adult.
You're hired. So you're hired like an adult. You don't work the hours as an adult, but you're expected to be there like an adult. You're expected to do the job. Same responsibilities. Pretty much everything is the same, except you got to do school three hours a day, really. That's really it. And so...
I was so lucky because for me, and I guess that maturity really paid off because I was really able to understand the weight of what I was doing. So I was never like, yippity-doo-dah, what am I doing next? I was always very like, okay, my cool time is tomorrow. I need to get eight hours. I was so strict with myself. My parents were always like, they always kind of knew I was like that too.
I loved school, would really prioritize school. I was just kind of annoyingly one of those kids that just loved work, loved school, just loved really being on set. I was so excited to be done with school so I could have more hours at work because I just loved it. I love that.
My accent.
