THE AUSSIE ACTRESS IS MAKING HOLLYWOOD HER OWN AS SHE STARS IN THE NEW BILL AND TED FILM
'PEOPLE THINK I'M Margot Robbie'

She may have got her start on a beloved Aussie soap much like fellow actress Margot Robbie and fans may often confuse her for the star, but Samara Weaving is carving her own path in Hollywood.

The 28-year-old, who is currently starring in Bill & Ted Face the Music, has racked up an impressive list of acting credits since deciding to leave the safety and security of her role on Home and Away back in 2013 for the bright lights of Hollywood.

Having returned Down Under recently to film the highly anticipated series Nine Perfect Strangers alongside Nicole Kidman and Melissa McCarthy, it’s almost as if life has come full circle for the actress. Here, she chats about her new movies, making it in Tinseltown and what she really thinks about those Margot Robbie comparisons …

How does it feel to be part of a Bill and Ted movie?

It’s really surreal and awesome. Bill and Ted has such a huge cult following, so it’s totally excellent to be a part of the third one.

Were you a fan of the first two movies before landing your role?

I actually hadn’t seen them. I was born in 1992, so they were just a tiny bit before my time. I could be wrong but I think Bill and Ted is quite an American cultural phenomenon, although I know a few Aussies who have seen it. As soon as I heard about the audition, I watched both films back to back with my partner [Jimmy Warden] and we had so much fun. I’d never see films like that before – so innocent, positive and delightfully funny.
