Born Ready
Harper's Bazaar Australia|November 2019
She’s the badass bride at the heart of the year’s must-see horror film and once made Nicolas Ghesquière gasp with her red-carpet game, but Samara Weaving has a surprisingly shy side, Eugenie Kelly discovers, as the actor talks stoner humour, ego-shredding auditions and the protective power of fashion

Born Ready

SAMARA WEAVING probably never imagined confronting a giant version of herself wearing a ripped-up wedding dress and Chuck Taylors, clutching a rifle, an ammo belt slung across her chest and staring menacingly down at the gridlocked traffic on an Los Angeles freeway, but that’s what she’s doing right now.

The huge billboards scattered around the city are promoting her latest film, Ready or Not, and although it was shot in a record 26 days with a measly eight-million-dollar budget, it’s a role that has given the 27-year-old Australian actor’s career a “huge surge”, she says, resulting in “serious talk. The studios are thrilled with the feedback and Stephen King tweeted about it. That’s exciting! But when it comes to strangers, to be honest, I try to disengage with what they think about my movies. It affects my mood and confidence, and that’s a slippery slope. I don’t make a conscious effort to follow how any of [my projects] are going, because that’s when anxiety kicks in.”
