Elle Fanning on ditching her 'Sleeping Beauty persona' for Catherine the Great's 'huge ego'

’s first episode, a pink-cheeked Catherine pilots a flower-entwined swing and burbles to a friend about how romantic her wedding to Russian Emperor Peter III will be. But after Catherine is delivered from her sleepy German village to the Russian palace, her girlish dreams are dashed when she meets the tyrannical and narcissistic Peter. As she solemnly presents him with an evergreen as a symbol of their love, he turns to one of his minions and barks, “She gave me a twig.

“It’s been phenomenal to watch Elle grow into this character as a performer, to balance a tightrope in bringing her to life as this woman who is naive but strong, and also powerless at times,” says Hoult. “[She’s] understanding this new world she’s been thrown into, and also her raison d’être.” I also love that she’s very romantic, but she learns that her love affair over the whole season is really her love for Russia. Which was interesting. Her most important quality, too, is her youth. Youth is such a big factor in the decisions she makes—and sometimes they’re a bit rash, but she’s young and she’s learning. And she’s a different woman at the end of it.

You had an intimacy coordinator on the set. Was that the first time you’ve ever worked with someone like that?
