Amy Adams says she identifies with 'having a high threshold for embarrassment' — and it's a good thing, too, considering her latest film 'Nightbitch' sees her character, Mother, increasingly act like and eventually turn into a dog.
Lauren Huff is a writer at Entertainment Weekly with over a decade of experience covering all facets of the entertainment industry. After graduating with honors from the University of Texas at Austin , Lauren wrote about film, television, awards season, music, and more for the likes of The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline Hollywood, Us Weekly, Awards Circuit, and others before landing at EW in May 2019.
Pressed for examples of when that high threshold has come in handy, the star, 50, first cites doing spontaneous cartwheels in public when she was younger before then settling on: "Mostly it involves singing probably — breaking out into song, yeah, if I'm being honest."was a cathartic process.
Adams also hopes audiences will connect with the film even if they don't have children. "I think in a way can also be seen as an allegory because there are these times I know in my life, and I know in the people that are close to me their life, where you're sort of in-between places. You're not who you were, but you're not who you're going to be," she explains. "It's this very strange place of struggle and a place of great release, ultimately.
