Model-turned-actress Olga Kurylenko tells Shalini Saksena in an email, that action roles are her favourite but she is open to other roles as well
What was it like working with Pierce BrosnanIJ
He is a wonderful man. Easy going and accessible with great English humour.
How did you find time for activitiesIJ
Most of it I did when I was a child. Children can explore the world.
You have done quite a few action movies. Is this something that you have pursued or did it happen by chanceIJ
It happened purely by chance. I decided to act because I was a fan of Bergman, lars Von Trier, David lynch, David Cronenberg, Woody Allen, and many others. When you are starting your career you don’t really say no to roles just to choose a genre unless they are harmful for you as an actor. It just happened that my first English speaking parts were in the action genre.
Other projectsIJ
The Water Diviner (drama) directed by Russell Crowe will be released soon. I just finished two films. A Perfect Day by Fernando leon de Aranoa and Momentum by Stephen Campanelli.
Tell us about your role in The November ManIJ
I play a social worker in a refugee centre who helps victims of sex trafficking. My character is multi dimensional. She has the information that everyone is after and she has to protect it.
Why did you say yes to the roleIJ
I’m a fan of thrillers and I loved the script and my character. Also working with Roger and Pierce was very appealing especially after they told me that the part was written for me.
