In 2015, US actress Brie Larson took home the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the movieRoom. These days, the 29-year-old is standing her ground as a superhero.
Larson plays Carol Danvers, also known asCaptain Marvel, in the movie of the same name. As a superhero, she has many superpowers, such as being able to fly as fast as light. The movie has become a huge success.
When Larson was offered the role, she didn't accept it at the beginning. ‘I am not a person with much confidence. So, I needed a little bit of time to see if I can do it…' she said. Larson is no stranger to Hollywood, but it's one thing to win an Oscar and another thing totally to star in a Marvel movie. She had no idea about playing a superhero. There would be lots of promotional (推广) interviews. Facing all of these, she decided to go out of comfort zone (舒适区).'I was gonna push myself to do things that I never thought I could do. I challenged myself. ' she said.
Larson trained for nine months. She learned kungfu, practiced weightlifting and so on. But the biggest challenge was that she had to work with a cat – an animal that she was afraid of. ‘I was sick the whole time, but I insisted to work with it by myself. I was fine.'
Varitymagazine spoke highly of her acting. By playing Captain Marvel, Larson discovered her own weaknesses and turned them into confidence. Even just watching her recent interviews, one can tell from her body language that she had found something she didn't have much before.
