The 'Yellowjackets' star dishes on finding self-love despite Hollywood's standards and feeling 'exposed' upon gaining wider acclaim.
On this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking to Melanie Lynskey, who has finally received a long-overdue Emmy nomination. Though she’s been a prolific actress and a fan favorite for decades, her standout role as Shauna in “Yellowjackets” is what has propelled her to a new kind of stardom, one she’s still getting used to.
“If I’m being completely honest, I’ve been very comfortable kind of being under the radar because there’s less of a fall...so it’s a bit scary to be exposed in a way that I haven’t been.”Melanie and I chatted about how this past year has helped her feel more empowered and less underestimated, how she arrived at a place of self-love after struggling with an eating disorder , and why roles of women who take up a lot of space appeal to her.
Plus, listen on for a delightful story about a Nick Cave concert, the best Drew Barrymore impression we’ve ever heard, and a very special guest appearance.
