Claire Sizzles for Galore Mag!
The Originals‘ gorgeous Claire Holt plays the bad ass Mikaelson sister, Rebekah, in the hit supernatural series and currently stars in the NBC murder, mystery drama Aquarius. In an interview with Galore Mag the blonde bombshell dishes on everything from what draws her to her roles to living in Los Angeles as well as working with David Duchovny and what she admires in an icon. Take a look at a sneak peek of the interview below and the gorgeous shots of Claire for the mag.
Abeline Cohen: Do you think you’re naturally drawn to evil characters? Or narratives that involve a lot of danger?
Claire Holt: I didn’t even realize it, but I guess I do gravitate towards that! I’m also working on a film, ‘47 Meters Down’, with Mandy Moore, which is a thriller that takes place mostly underwater. So that’s pretty crazy as well, but I’m mostly interested in captivating storytelling.
AC: Does Los Angeles, as a city, influence the kind of work you do? I heard that you left The Originals because you wanted to be closer to home.
CH: Yes, for sure. But in this show, Los Angeles is also its own character. It’s weird, and cool, and it was fascinating to learn about it during the time Aquarius is set. Especially the LAPD at that time! You know, I play a young female cop, and in that era, women didn’t have any rights at all. If you were a female cop, you got coffee, or you got fired, basically.
AC: What are the kinds of qualities that you admire in icons?
CH: I absolutely admire talent, but I admire it even more when it’s coupled with humility. I think there are stories of people who get success and don’t behave appropriately, or treat people well. It’s so inspiring to me to see women who gain success and remain good people.
