“I mean, I’ve played characters my whole life — I want to play characters in movies, not in my personal life,” she continued in the clip posted to the outlet’s Instagram on Dec. 10 . “I just want to be myself, so it’s an experience. It’s just something that appeals to me – I didn’t even think anyone would notice!
