Itâs incredibly demanding, but the training was the hardest part. I had to have five months of full-time physical training, to learn fight sequences, shoot a gun and work with knives. It was all day, every day, and by the end of it, I was in the best shape Iâve ever been in my life. Itâs a different type of discipline to theatre because itâs so physically demanding. But I loved it.â
Atwellâs ability to seamlessly transition between different genres and mediums is a testament to her talent and versatility as an actor. Whether she is on stage, in a period drama, or in a high-octane action film, she brings depth and authenticity to her performances. As her career continues to soar, audiences can look forward to seeing her tackle a wide range of roles with her trademark skill and grace.
Itâs liberating to be able to say: âI donât know what Iâm doing, but letâs try it.â We need to be OK with not being perfect.â Atwell is also aware of her responsibility as an actor in terms of representation and the messages she puts out into the world. âIâm proud of the characters Iâve played and the messages they send. Iâm conscious of the power of storytelling and how it can influence society. And Iâm conscious of the fact that people look up to me, and that I need to be responsible in the roles I choose.â
Atwell is currently enjoying a period of professional success, with roles in high-profile projects like Mission: Impossible and the upcoming Disney+ series “What If…?” where she reprises her role as Peggy Carter. She continues to push herself creatively and challenge herself in new ways, all while staying true to her values and beliefs as an actor. It’s clear that Hayley Atwell is a talented and dedicated artist who is committed to her craft and making a positive impact in the industry. ” No estoy pidiendo permiso a otros para probar cosas nuevas, ya que puedo darme permiso a mí misma y me haré responsable si no funciona. Lo mejor de todo, señala, es que puedo decir no, no lo haré. No es para mí.”
