“ComingSoon.net: How does your character change or grow in this film?
Henley: I think what we learn about Lucy from this film is that she’s human. She’s growing up now. She’s a teenager. She’s got into her teens like I have and I think that she’s very much the purest of characters throughout the first two films and she’s very good and brave and true. This film kinda shows that she has a darker side. We all do things which we’re not proud of. I think this showcases Lucy’s not proud moments.
CS: Can you relate to Lucy?
Henley: Definitely. She’s the best person. She’s so great about everything. She’s so pure and understands everything. In this film, she’s a lot easier to relate to for me because of her dark side. Sometimes you feel sorry for her and sometimes you feel so happy for her. There’s so many layers to her and I hope I can do her justice.
CS: Is there someone’s career who you’d like to emulate or that you really admire?
Henley: I really look up to people who experiment in all areas and I think Johnny Depp is a really good actor to look up to because he’s done so many genres of films. I think Cate Blanchett is a good actress to look up to. They’re probably my two favs. My other two favorite actresses are French. They just seem to be able to express themselves a lot more. I just get such a vibe from them – Audrey Tautou and Marion Cotillard I get such vibes from them when they act. I love it.
