Camila Morrone wasn't interested in acting. Now she's being called the next Jennifer Lawrence
As a girl, Camila Morrone didn’t think much of actors. From her family’s two-bedroom apartment on the last legal block of the 90210 ZIP Code, she watched her parents run lines, cramming for auditions that were rarely successful. Her father, Maximo, had been a famous supermodel in the ’90s, posing alongside Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss in Versace and Valentino campaigns.
It’s easy to understand why the fledgling actress’ performance is being likened to the Oscar winner’s. In “Mickey and the Bear” — a tiny independent film that has slowly been opening in theaters over the past few weeks — Morrone plays a self-sufficient high school senior tasked with taking care of her single father, a veteran struggling with PTSD. The movie, the directorial debut of Annabelle Attanasio, is set in an impoverished Montana town.
“I think more and more now that people are seeing the film, I’m slowly getting an identity outside of that,” she said. “Which is frustrating, because I feel like there should always be an identity besides who you’re dating. ... I understand the association, but I’m confident that will continue to slip away and be less of a conversation.”Morrone also is trying to shed her reputation as a model.
“I felt so ashamed of my modeling history when I first got into acting, so I tried to hide that part of my life, because I didn’t want to be looked at as too sexy for a role,” she said. “I’ve heard, ‘Oh, she’s not homey-looking,’ or ‘too voluptuous’ or — I don’t want to say sexy, because then I sound like I think of myself that way — which I don’t — but that’s oftentimes it.”
“When we’re all hanging out in L.A., everyone is getting dressed up, and in Montana, she’d be rolling around in a sweatshirt and Carhartts,” said the actor. “When I heard she’d flown herself out to Montana to read, I thought, ‘How brave.’ It’s brave to do that, because in this world we live in, most of the time, the answer is ‘no.’”
Despite the effusively positive accolades she’s received for the role, Morrone said she has yet to see any practical changes in her career.
