is made by the American director Matt Reeves, who has described Kravitz as “smart, funny, honest, unpretentious”, and “a great creative partner”. To get into character, Kravitz watched videos of big cats and gradually adopted their physical attributes. “It was fun to play with different ways of walking, of being agile,” she says. “You know, you can’t read cats, which is why a lot of people feel uncomfortable around them.
Like her father, who is an actor-musician, Kravitz, 33, is a polymath. She is the face of French fashion house Saint Laurent. She is in a band,. She is working on a solo album with Taylor Swift collaborator Jack Antonoff, though she is tight-lipped on what we should expect. It’s the only part of our interview where it feels as if she’s holding back; I suspect it’s because the album may touch upon her divorce from the actor Karl Glusman.
Kravitz is strategic about the roles she takes; her agent won’t pass on those that are explicitly about race, lest she becomes pigeonholed. “At one point,” she says, “all the scripts that were being sent were about the first Black woman to make a muffin or something. Even though those stories are important to tell, I also want to open things up for myself as an artist.
Kravitz attempts to explain what this constant surveillance feels like: “You go into a coffee shop and everyone is looking at you, so you’re spending all of your energy trying to act like you don’t see everybody looking at you. And it’s the little things: I’ll be putting my coffee lid on, and it’s like, don’t spill it, because if you do it’s going to be on the internet… It’s like being the new kid in school every day.
