Haley Bennett on Her Resemblance to Jennifer Lawrence

In her interview, Haley talks about getting recognized for another actress–Jennifer Lawrence. “I like the idea of having a super ordinary life,” she says. “I joke around all the time that I get recognized—but I get recognized as Jennifer Lawrence,” an easy mistake to make when she’s not made up. “It’s really kind of awkward when I have to disappoint everybody that I’m actually not her.”

Haley Bennett in ‘Girl on the Train’

In her interview with ELLE, Haley Bennett talks about her role as Megan in ‘Girl on the Train’. “I bared a lot for the role, and very little of it was my body.” She says that becoming Megan “was a disorienting experience, and I felt scared, vulnerable, and really exposed.”

But at the same time, “I felt weirdly like I was being judged in a certain way. You kind of want to go on set and say, ‘I’m not really like this. I just want you to know that I’m so different than this.’ So I’m happy that Girl on the Train isn’t the only film that I have emerging, that there’s a bigger picture.”
