Joey King, who has a list of acting credits at the age of 19, says she abandoned everything she learned about acting to play Gypsy Rose Blanchard.
The actress talked about her transformation for Hulu's drama "The Act," based on Blanchard's life and the 2015 murder of her mother, Dee Dee.
Blanchard was released from prison on December 28 after completing 85% of his 10-year sentence.
Blanchard's story is a tragic and complex one, and one that King fully understood and felt.
She also felt Blanchard's feelings and emotions during filming and the experience was difficult for her.
“This role, which was different from other roles in the way I approached it, I decided to strip away anything I thought about acting – just try my best and immerse myself in it. decided to."
Dee Dee's web of lies and the tragic outcome fuel King's performance, his portrayal of Gypsy Rose becoming raw.
