She told Vogue Australia she was seeking out lighter films and TV shows, in contrast to the moody dramas she’s known for starring in, like 21 Grams and Mulholland Drive.

‘Yeah, look, I can only do me, right? I think I opened up a whole lot more during Covid… I needed to laugh,’ she said.

‘I liked that other people might get a laugh out of some stupid things, me sending myself up. I’ll do anything for a joke!’
