Alexandra Daddario is setting the record straight about her acting abilities.Â
In an interview with Elle magazine, she addressed the “most outrageous rumour” she’s heard about herself: “That I’m a bad actress.”
Looking straight into the camera, Daddario defended herself, saying: “I’m not a bad actress. I’ve just done some projects that don’t showcase me in the way that I should be showcased. OK? Directing and the writing is everything. Sometimes I’m lit poorly, but I’m not a bad actress. I got an Emmy nomination. How do you think I did that?”
Daddario scored an Emmy nod for her role in The White Lotus in 2022.Â
When asked about an “acting gig you regret doing,” the Mayfair Witches star replied: “I have a lot of acting gigs I regret doing. This is a hard one, but I’ll be vague… With all due respect to everyone who worked hard and who I worked with, there was an independent film that I shot that was a disaster. A lot of infighting, producers walking off set, just chaos.”
