Carey Mulligan Talks Theater and Suicide Attempt with the W magazine January 2012 issue. Lately, Mulligan has been wanting to break out of her good girl shell and show the world what a sex kitten she could really be. On the cover of the magazine you can see that Mulligan is really letting the world know that she is a woman who has lots of sex appeal. She is dressed in a white bra and showing quite a bit of skin.
As a child Mulligan thought about the theater and had once asked her parents if she can join an art school. She reveals, “Somewhat. I would put my earphones on and sing along to soundtracks of musicals like Les Miserables. I’d act it out in the mirror and cry. When I was 11 or 12, I asked my parents about going to a performing arts school, and they said no. Although I did audition to be a presenter on a TV show called Dig It.”
Once she got older, during an off-Broadway play titled “Through a Glass Darkly” where her character had a nude scene. Luckily, she was able to convince the director to allow her to do a topless scene instead. Mulligan tells, “In the script, she was naked, but I dreaded the idea of being naked onstage. When I’ve seen plays with actors who are nude, I’ve always thought, Gosh, that actor’s naked. I wonder how they feel about being naked. Then two minutes later, you fall back into the play. Through a Glass Darkly is not very long, and I didn’t want the audience to stop and think, Oh, she’s naked—I wonder if she feels funny. So we modified it.”
There was a suicide attempt scene during the movie that made the young actress feel “horrible” and “sad” to play. Mulligan reveals, “I was sitting there and this fake blood was pumping out of my arms and I was in this completely hopeless state with a kitchen knife next to me. And it was horrible, it was really horrible and I wasn’t expecting it, it was a complete surprise, and I felt awful. It sounds so pretentious, but it just made me feel horrible. I felt devastated and I felt so sad. And I’m fine. I’m great and well adjusted and everything’s cool, but just the idea of being that helpless and that lonely, it was just really sad. I got into the taxi at the end of the day and I couldn’t stop crying.”
