Natasha Rothwell publicly recounted how her role in HBO’s “Insecure” Kelli Prenny inspired her in real life.
In an exclusive interview Sixth pageRoswell, 41, revealed that her arrogance and unapologetic personality strengthened her personal confidence and “allowed me to live the same in my own life.”
The actress explained that she used to find that she wanted to “go on the path of self-doubt or…impersonator syndrome”, but then learned to accept herself and believe that she was “enough”.
The “White Lotus” star also told the media that Kelly’s optimism and self-confidence “did a lot” for her, and she was very happy that the audience was also inspired and moved by her character.
Roswell continued to share that before starring in “Insecure,” she didn’t always feel accepted and supported by society, even if she had all the success.
“Walking through the world with a brown T-tie, you have received a lot of information. Among them, uh, the information you received was not good, and, well, it was insidious, in a way that you didn’t really know. Infiltrate,” she told the media. “Until I started playing Kelli… she was so sure. She didn’t question the value, that is, you know, they said,’Pretend until you succeed,’ and that’s it.'”
The actress who moved from New York to Los Angeles to work on the series added that she refused to accept the fact that “insecurity” was about to end. She explained that this series “unambiguously changed my life” and “is very meaningful to my career and personally.”
Roswell is also the screenwriter and director of the HBO series. She previously wrote in “Saturday Night Live”, and she admitted that it was a challenging experience.
She cleverly described her time in the comedy show as a “learning opportunity” and added, “I learned a lot… and I think it’s a white institution with a long history, it’s not news at all, so they specifically I introduce it.”
At the same time, this is not the first time Roswell has talked about her role in “Insecurity.”In the interview protector In 2018, she said that Kelly is the only character in the play who is not obsessed with men, is not obsessed with men, and is not obsessed with men. At the time, she also admitted the same fact—Kelly was very different from her.
“She is a self I rarely become,” Roswell said, emphasizing her character. “I equate it with volume. In real life, when I am most comfortable [life is] Dial to 2, and Kelli kept using that dial until 11 o’clock. It has been adjusted up, and this is where she thrives. So when I started to play her, it was so free. “
She added that playing Kelly gave her the opportunity to “walk into a life without fear” and not afraid of making mistakes. She also appreciates Kelli’s attitude that never questioned her effectiveness in any room.
