This movie sees you play Anna as a mother and Anna after she has switched bodies with her teenage daughter. Does that ever get confusing for you?
There are times when you get a little confused, and you have to refer to the script, just to check
Were you able to draw on your own experience as a mother as part of your performance?
No. My son is so young, so we’re a long way off the teenage years yet. I am a big sister to three siblings, so I was able to draw on that a little bit. But mainly, I took a lot of inspiration from Jamie Lee Curtis and how she played Tess as a mother.
How was it getting to work with Jamie Lee Curtis again?
It was so fun. We wanted to do this for so many years, so to finally be back on set together as mother and daughter was so exciting. Any time I get to spend with Jamie is special. We have a lot of trust in each other. She is so kind and wise. It’s really hard to find people like that in life.
What was it getting to reunite Anna’s band, Pink Slip, for the movie?
Amazing. It was one of the best moments of making this movie. To be there with us all back together was just the best. It was like we had never been apart.
