Milly Alcock Covers Variety
Milly Alcock is on the cover of the latest issue of Variety. The young actress is on the cover to promote her new film, Supergirl. Highlights from her interview are below.
On being number one on the call sheet for Supergirl: “I was like, ‘I have to do all that?! No!‘ Because she’s in, like, every scene. My personal experience of being Milly mirrored Kara’s experience, which was ‘Hide. Run away. Pretend it’s not happening’. And then you have to face it to heal a part of yourself that you’ve been neglecting.”
On the difficulties of ignoring social media: “Because sometimes people reinforce beliefs that you have about yourself, and you’re like, ‘Now someone’s said it! It’s true!’ And you’ve got to remind yourself that it’s not. Sitting at a café and watching people and reading alone — just being a participant in real life — has been helpful. It’s something I’m trying to get better at. I’m Gen Z! Yeah, I grew up online, so I’m actively trying not to engage — although how could you not?”
