On filming Return of Xander Cage in Toronto: “I was more of a hometown girl compared to the rest of the cast. But I definitely feel that in the 10 years that I’ve lived abroad the city has changed immensely, and going to the city as an adult and being able to drink and go out and stuff is a different experience.
When I was younger and just getting into college I really wasn’t in that world. Now there are so many restaurants that are amazing and so many lounges and rooftops and places you can explore. The city has gentrified and grown in such a beautiful way. I can safely say that I got to discover the city in a new way almost as though it was the first time. But I did know a few places that the others didn’t that I got to take them to. So I did play tour guide a little bit.”
On preparing for her role in Flatliners: “We did three or four weeks of medical training in Toronto. We all flew in early and got fixed up with an amazing medical consultant by the name of Lindsay Somers. She taught us how the heart works, how to defib someone, what the intricacies are, what could go wrong, what is the protocol to get someone out of the flatline, every detail.
I don’t want to sound cocky and say I could save someone’s life, but I could definitely keep them alive long enough until a paramedic came. It was pretty in-depth work. And my character was also a cellist, so I had to learn how to play the cello. She was a swimmer, so I did swim training. And we got a personal trainer because I have a bunch of scenes where I’m in my bathing suit. I had a crazy food diet. It was definitely full on. It’s fun to dive deep and really get into the meat of a role on a project and commit yourself like that. I enjoyed every minute of it.”
On being home in LA: “I’m a new baby to LA. I’m such a hermit. I love to be actually in my home when I’m in Los Angeles. I’ve built myself a little movie room that I spend most of my time in and also I redid my kitchen so that I can cook a lot. I’ve learned how to cook since I’ve been back. I love to have dinner parties and host people and watch movies and sleep in my bed and chill.
Between meetings and movies and all kinds of things I like to stay active as much as I can. It’s always the most fun when I get a role that requires me to be physical, like xXx and Flatliners. But if I’m not working I like to play volleyball and play soccer at the beach, go to the gym and run. I try to do something active every day, as it makes my heart happy and healthy and it also clears my mind.”
