Momona Tamada Chats The Baby-Sitters Club With The Golden Globes
Momona Tamada sat down with The Golden Globes Awards to chat about her new project, The Baby-Sitters Club. Momona plays the fashionable Claudia Kishi in the Netflix adaptation. Highlights from her interview are below.
On taking on the role of the iconic Claudia Kishi: “I definitely feel the pressure, for sure, because Claudia is so iconic. Also, growing up, I looked up to the few Asian actors that I saw on screen. And so being able to be that for younger generations and beyond is so cool. I’m always trying my best to be setting good examples for people.”
On how she relates and differs from Claudia: “I’ve never had any problems with my grades, but it’s something that I know a lot of kids struggle with, so that’s one thing I definitely didn’t identify with Claudia. “I was interested in fashion but I wasn’t huge into fashion. But after portraying Claudia, her fashion sense definitely influenced mine. And made me think more outside the box when it came to fashion.”
