Barbie Ferreira On Pushing Boundaries With 'Unpregnant' Film Debut (Exclusive)

"I like to pick things that kind of spread a message that maybe isn't always talked about, so something taboo or people feel shame around it, but it's commonplace," began Ferreira, 23."I mean, I'm also not afraid to get political in any project that I'm in. So it felt really natural reading the script and thinking that this movie was really like cute and cool and funny, but also had like a really important message.

"I wanted something and I always am looking for something that starts a conversation and makes people think and is bigger than just the movie itself," Ferreira added."It's something that has a message, whether that be something that's kind of nuanced or embedded in the story, or it's something that is in the journey, which is the abortion clinic. It was really just like a natural next step for me, and also challenging and cool and different.

In the film, Ferreira's character, Bailey, is openly gay but is just beginning to really explore her sexuality. The actress, who identifies as queer, spoke to TooFab about playing a"baby gay" in"Unpregnant" and also shared her thoughts on LGBTQ representation in TV and film as a whole. "I think there's just a great spectrum of queer stories that can be told and Bailey was definitely special for me," she continued."And I got to play a little baby gay and kind of feel the awkwardness of it all."
