クリステン・スチュワート インタビュー！ エド・ハリスのモノマネも／映画『愛はステロイド』
クリステン・スチュワート、役への想いや監督への信頼を語る！「これまでにないクィア映画であり反恋愛映画」また名俳優のエド・ハリスのモノマネも披露！『愛はステロイド』インタビューが解禁！
この度、主演クリステン・スチュワートのロングインタビュー映像が解禁に！
作品との出会いや自身が演じたルーについて、さらに共演者であるケイティ・オブライアンやエド・ハリスについて、そして映画が持つテーマをたっぷり語っている。
まずクリステンが最初に惹かれたのは監督ローズ・グラスの存在だったそうで、「彼女の初⻑編『セイント・モード/狂信』は衝撃的だった。ホラー系の映画祭で偶然観る機会があって、その後にリモートで登場した監督の語り口は軽やかで丁寧だったのに対し、作品のトーンはシリアスで恐ろしかったから驚いた。だから今回彼女の2本目に出演の話が来たときは、うれしかった。」と振り返る。ルーというキャラクターについては、「強い女性の話を作るべきだという、周りの意見に対して監督が少し皮肉を込めてアイデアをひっくり返した。その結果、私は弱くて繊細な人物を演じることになった」と明かす。またクリステンはこの作品を引き受けた理由として、「破壊的な愛の物語を監督と一緒に伝えたいと思った。」と語った。
そしてジャッキーを演じたケイティ・オブライアンについては、「ルーが働くジムに初めてジャッキーが入ってきた時、ルーは衝撃を受ける。なぜなら彼女の暮らす町の女性とは見た目も雰囲気も全く異なるから。ケイティはフェミニンで優しくてどこか尖っていてカッコいい。ボディビルの経験も役に説得力を与えていた。ケイティは素朴な美しさを役にもたらしてくれた。」と賛辞を送った。
さらに1980年代のアメリカを描く監督のビジョンについては、「完成した作品を観たとき、まるで80年代に作られた映画のようだった。セクシュアリティを大胆に描いているのも最近では珍しい。多様性は受け入れられつつあるけど、過度に慎重になっている気がする。この映画は面白いけど怖いというあまりない作風だと思った。でもホラーというわけではなく人間の本質的な恐ろしさを描いている。」と話す。
エド・ハリスとの共演にも触れ、「私の父親と同じ髪型で最初は監督の冗談かと思った！だから2人(クリステンの父親とエド・ハリス演じる父親)が似ていたのは妙な感覚だった。彼がこの小さな映画に出てくれたのは奇跡のよう。彼は伝説的俳優で、優しくて天才的で、共演できたことが信じられない。だからこそ、彼を憎む娘役を演じるのは難しかった」とモノマネも交え語った。最後にクリステンは、「これまでになかった映画。クィア映画であり反恋愛映画でもある。監督には感謝している」と締めくくった。

Um, thank you so much for saying that. Um, my first introduction to her story was a a pitch in the lobby of a hotel and I loved St. Ma, her first film, so much I was so shocked that a first-time filmmaker made it. I I was at a horror film festival and I randomly caught it at the end of a program and then she popped up her face in a in a zoom because I think it was during uh pandemic lockdown and the way she was describing how she made that movie was so kind of like light and irreverent and the movie itself is it’s funny but it’s it’s very serious and confronting and and truly terrifying. Um, and then Kismmetly, she reached out to me because it was like my my favorite movie that year and she said that she had an uh an idea based on conversations that she had been having with um studios, producers, people that were encouraging her to find her next film. And uh she found that the conversation was quite generic that it was, “Oh, we must make a film about a strong woman. You I mean, you’re such a strong woman.” And that’s what we need in the world is strong women making movies about strong women. and and that’s true, but it is reductive. And so she in a kind of um tongue-in-cheek and irreverent way turned that idea on its head. And I ended up playing someone who was not strong at all of a weakling really, a sort of feeble weakling, somebody very stuck in this period of their life in a sort of paralysis of um uh internalized misogyny. She she grew up in a in a 1980s town in a violent family um queer uh very much an outlier. And the way that Rose described it was basically the like all of these affirmations that we funnel all of all of the ideas that America kind of runs on, which is I mean idealistically kind of a a nice notion, but believing something you cannot will everything into existence, you know what I mean? like and so uh basically I was just very excited to help her tell a story about love that destroys and the justifications and rationalizations of bad behaviors and extreme behaviors all for the purpose of getting close to someone who you might not even know. Um so that was a long explanation but that was why I wanted to do the movie. Jackie needed to be um more than formidable. I mean, she needed to have uh she when when Jackie walks into the the gym that Lou works in, Lou has just never seen anything like this. Girls look a certain way in this town, you know. Um girls are expected to kind of remain in a very particular role. And uh there’s something Rose has said this before, but there is something so punk about uh a a really built woman who’s also quite feminine and sweet. And um yeah, Katie brought like a a very earnest, wideeyed, kind of beautiful energy to a character that also has an extremely gruesome side. And and and so I think um Lou and Jackie, both of them, I think they they kind of would like to think of themselves as as as nice guys, as sort of agents for good. Um but ultimately, I think they they both realize that human beings, which they both are inevitably, have the uh capacity to be monstrous. And Katie played that incredibly. We we she Yeah. I mean, she’s also been a been in bodybuilding competitions a little bit, but primarily just has always known her own strength, and she knows what it feels like to want something, strive for it, believe it, will it into existence. Um, that obviously comes from somewhere very real in her. Her hunger is very real. Um, yeah, she was fantastic and it’s just so so impressive what she was able to do. And I don’t want to diminish. You don’t need to have experience to be a good actor. But um it was a hard movie. It’s it’s very it’s intense. It’s a lot to hold. It’s very complex. There are certain ideas that seem to cancel other ideas out. It’s a little contradictory. And she just held it together beautifully. I’m very very proud of her. Yeah. It feels it feels to me when I watched it like it was a movie that was not just set in the 80s, but like made in the 80s. It it has an audacious sexuality. I think that we’ve grown away from that. There’s um oddly as times and and um uh acceptance has progressed. It’s also there’s a sort of prudishness that that has also taken over. It’s like um in any period of accelerated progress, there’s always a sort of landslide of response trying to be mad at that progress. And I I feel that viscerally right now. And so um yeah, this movie’s the tone of it is is bizarre because it’s funny and it’s scary. And uh the reason it’s scary is not because it’s a horror film. It’s because we ourselves we can be human beings are the the horror story of the world. And uh at the same at the same time it’s um something that you can kind of be proud of and laugh at. And it’s funny it’s not scathing. It’s like I think her perspective of America in the 80s there’s something beautiful and cool and fun and sexy but also if you really look at it empty vapid like what what you know yeah I mean I don’t want to say that those affirmations aren’t true. you believe in something enough, you can manifest and will it into existence, but not not in the way that we perpetuate so kind of um generally. Do you know what I mean? Like uh not everyone’s a winner. You know what I mean? That’s just that’s it’s it’s not possible. Um, yeah, and I think that she’s able to kind of play with that idea, underline its uh kind of vapidness. Um, but then also be inspired by it because all the references and all the visuals and stuff, there is something aspirational. I mean, you you do want to I don’t know. This made me want to go to the gym more, which is embarrassing. It’s like, wait, why? Because I want to be strong. Um, meandering, but sorry. Yeah. Not at all. Yeah, I think that’s kind of a rose coping mechanism that is really a delight actually. It’s you watch the movie, you’re kind of like laughing at a funeral and also laughing at the audacious sort of um very unique identity. You know what I mean? It’s um it’s not often that the protagonist of a film looks like Lou. It’s not often that that we make this is this is well-worn territory, but it’s worth mentioning that most queer love stories or or anti- love stories, which I think this is, even though it’s sort of being lauded as this love story, it’s like I don’t know that they should ever stay. I think they should break up. presence of shame that is inherently queer and a kind of building up of self that feels um required to survive and like you know Lou might be this kind of weakling and has daddy issues and can’t leave town but she knows who she is and there’s something really fun about seeing that at the forefront of a movie. It’s just it’s just not happening yet. And so I’m I’m so lucky that Rose was uh spearheading this and put me at the front of it. My dad has that exact hair. And so when he walked on set, I actually thought that Rose was messing with me. Um, it was triggering. I love my dad, but everyone’s got complicated relationships with their parents. And to to have to to to have them look so similar was just bizarro. And uh Ed is Ed Harris. I mean, like we couldn’t believe that we got him to come help us make this weird little movie. and and he was like I think what he ended up saying to Rose in the beginning is you know I don’t really know I think I’ve probably played the bad guy before. I don’t really know what this movie is but I want to help you guys do whatever you’re doing cuz you’re weird. I was like so you don’t really know or understand or like the movie but you like us and now he loves the movie. He recently was like I didn’t think it was going to come together but it did. I was like, “Yes.” Uh, he’s a legend. Honestly, I I I couldn’t believe that we were sharing space and time and scenes and he’s such a nice man and he’s so talented and his daughter is really cool and beautiful. He brought her to set and was like so proud of her. She’s an actress, too. And yeah, I don’t know. It It was really easy to play his daughter. It was really hard to hate him. I love you, you idiot. The stops now. I don’t think so much crazy. Wow. [Music] later.
