PomKlementieff has opened up about the legenedary stars she watched to prepare her character in the latest Mission Impossible film.
During an interview with Variety, the 37-year-old named Quentin Tarantino, Bruce Lee, and Jackie Chan as her inspiration to grasp her role's depth.
“Quentin Tarantino is one of my favorite directors, so of course I always watch “Kill Bill.” I watched movies with Bruce Lee, with Jackie Chan and some French movies as well, because it was not just about the fight and the physicality — it was also the way the character walks.”
She continued, “I was inspired by movies with Jean-Paul Belmondo to find a cockiness to the character. And movies with Clint Eastwood, Takeshi Kitano, all these beautiful characters that barely speak but convey so many emotions as well.”
The 37-year-old also weighed in on the intrigue of her character, saying, "She's a pretty mysterious character that doesn’t speak much, but the beauty of it is that when she speaks, everyone listens."
Adding, "My character, I think, is on a path of destruction and she’s a very skilled fighter... But there is also an underlying feeling of betrayal and of loneliness from being an orphan, so there’s a deep wound underneath
