Why Carina From Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 Looks So Familiar
By Isabella Wilson
In 2011 Scodelario took on what was her most challenging role to date, one that would help her shed her past as Effy and announce her intentions as a serious actress. All of 19 at the time, she was cast as Cathy in Andrea Arnold's adaptation of the Emily Bronte classic Wuthering Heights, a novel that Scodelario had never read and was actually advised to avoid. "Andrea asked me not to read the book, not to see any adaptations, not to do too much at all, just to go into it completely fresh," she told Film4. "I do like to get very technical and very research-y, so it was quite difficult for me."
Scodelario confessed to learning a great deal working under Arnold on her gritty period drama, with the director introducing her to the concept of method acting, something she took in her stride. "Andrea told us not to shave, and I was so happy!" she revealed. "I let it all grow. My boyfriend loved it as well, he loved the armpits."
