Oh my god. I mean Everybody in the movie is fantastic Yeah, Mark Wahlberg plays the fighter, and you've got a great Boston accent because it's set in Lowell, Mass Lowell, Massachusetts very cool, and did you go and shoot it there? We did we shot All in Lowell on location, and it was great because the town knows these brothers And they were so excited and really helpful. Did you get to meet your character that you get to meet Charlene?

She was very generous with me, though Yeah, you do get a little tough because you're your other roles. I mean you played a nun yeah, right Right I approached the nun the same way I approach this character would not have totally different. Yeah Yeah, but how was the director was good with you was it David O Russell David O Russell yeah, he's amazing He's amazing.

I just want to put that out. I don't want to punch I want to shake his hand or dance with him or something or anything he wants to do yeah, yeah He seems like a nice guy He's a really nice guy, but is there some tense moments in the deep stuff in that and that you got a good meaty role There yeah, did you scrap out to do you in a box you were into boxing at all uh? Boxing makes me nervous when I'm watching it. I did I had to Learn to box because David O Russell told me that I looked like a girl who couldn't throw a punch And then I wanted to punch him, and I thought that wasn't a way to approach a puncher director Yeah, I could punch, but you're getting really a violent streak now.
