We’ve updated the Brittany Robertson Fan Gallery with new screencaptures from tonight’s Life Unexpected to check out. Britt looked AMAZING and it’s an episode to check out.
Wow post one interview and then immediately find another. Here’s another great Britt interview about LUX. This one is a little longer so I’ll add my favorite Q&A’s in here and link you to the source to read it in full there. She also talks about the recent passing of former child star Corey Haim, her plans for her 20th Birthday and of course more LUX!
How much input do you have into the character — parts of the storyline, what she wears?
Definitely wardrobe. Katia Stano, the wardrobe designer, was so generous in letting me help. Certain things I didn’t feel comfortable in, we’d change, adding certain things for, say, the formal episode. You know, finding a dress was really hard, what kind of dress, what color of dress. There’s always that kind of input that she was nice enough to let me help with.Whose idea was all the hats?
That was Katia’s. It’s funny because Liz, the creator, and I always joke that Lux is Liz. Like, Cate is Liz, but Lux’s look is exactly the way Liz dresses. Liz always wears those goofy little hats and the same T-shirts. She tried to steal half of my wardrobe, which was pretty funny. I think it was a combination of Liz and Katia.When you took this role, you did research into foster families. Did anything surprise you?
The thing I was most surprised at was how strong these individuals were. They didn’t take pity on themselves or beat themselves up because of the circumstances. They were so independent and just willing to take life into their own hands and get what they want in life. They were like, “OK, this is what’s happening in my life. Screw the foster care system. I’m gonna make a better life for myself — get my high school degree, go to college, find a career that I love.” They were all just so passionate about their lives and about not taking pity on themselves.While you were shooting, you were roommates with Shiri Appleby. What’s she like as a roommate? Who’s the clean one and who’s the messy one?
Our common areas are very, very clean, so our kitchen’s clean, our living room’s clean, but as far as rooms go — Shiri Appleby’s a disaster. She will throw clothes on the floor. But also we had a maid come once a week so that we didn’t have to do that, so we’d just leave our rooms a complete and utter mess until the maid would come and do our laundry and stuff. She was a disaster as far as her room went, but I can’t say that I was that great either. I think we probably equaled out in the messy stage.If you weren’t acting, what would you be doing?
I always loved biology, and I’m super-interested in ocean life, so I probably would have been a marine biologist. I still want to be. I tell my mom all the time, “Maybe I can start taking classes and juggle both!” And she’s like, “You’re crazy. There’s no way.” So we’ll see. I might go back to it in the future, but right now I’m having a blast.
I had a lot of fun reading this and getting even more insight on Ms. Britt Robertson and I have to say that I love her mom. We think alike. In the interview Britt tackles many questions and she even clarifies her comment on that whole ‘Team Ryan’ debacle. It’s a lot easier to understand when she breaks it down as opposed to the article I posted from numerous sources awhile back. So here it is!
‘Life Unexpected’s’ Britt Robertson Explains About Being On ‘Team Ryan’ & More
After wrapping the first season of “Life Unexpected,” the show’s titular hero, Britt Robertson, should be able to just hang out with her friends, family, and little dog at home. Instead, she is still fielding questions about just who Lux and Cate will “pick” romantically and what we can expect from the upcoming episodes!
Congrats on finishing the filming of season one. What were some of the most fun scenes you shot that we still have to look forward to?
One of my favorite scenes to film was in the second to last episode: Baze and Lux and Cate go on a road trip. Those are some of the most fun scenes to film because the three of us hardly ever get to have scenes together. Some of them were emotional; some of them were funny; but it was awesome to just have the scenes with the three of us because that never happens!
Lux kind of bounces between different worlds with Bug and Tash, Jones and the kids in her new school, and her parents; which for you is the most challenging to go outside of yourself to play?
Probably the relationship she has with Cate. I think that’s probably the most challenging because, you know, I can relate to having boy problems or friend problems, but the relationship that she has with Cate is the most difficult. Especially in the next couple of episodes! You always want to be true to the character, and the challenge came to be truthful to who Lux is and still keep the scene interesting and complex as well.
Writer and producer Liz Tigelaar has said that she based some of the show, and the character of Lux, on her own personal experiences growing up as an adopted kid. Has this influenced your performance?
Definitely in the beginning more so than now, I think, because Lux has sort of evolved into a sort of new person, per se. But in the beginning I called Liz all of the time to be like ‘How do you feel about this?’ or ‘What do you think about that?’ Because a lot of it is tone and how she would address certain things with Cate and Baze and Bug and Tash and her second family…Liz couldn’t always be on set with us, so I just wanted to make sure she was getting everything she wanted.
How does it feel to “go back” to high school in this show? You’ve been acting for so long, did you ever even really have a “normal” high school experience?
I actually was home schooled even before I was an actor. My mom was deathly afraid of the public school system in our area so she home schooled me. I never really got much of a school experience, but I did go to a prom and all of the fun stuff.
Do you think if you had a traditional high school experience you would have been as much of a chameleon as Lux?
I don’t know that I’d be that brave. Lux takes initiative, but she’s been in different schools and has met different people her entire life. I don’t know if I would be as forthcoming as she is…but I say go for it! I can’t fully relate, but it’s awesome to play.
The CW is known for incorporating the new, cool trends and up-and-coming artists in all of their shows, and “Life Unexpected” is no stranger to that! How much of Lux’s taste in clothes or music has been influenced by the things you really like?
Liz and I actually share pretty much the exact same iTunes library. There was a song in the pilot episode, and she had actually already picked it for the show, but I came to her and said ‘Oh my gosh, you have to put in ‘Can’t Go Back Now’ by The Weepies. You have to! It’s so perfect for the show!’ And she was, like, ‘Done! Already in there.’ Music is a really important thing for shows because it makes the show half the time; it tells the audience how to feel and what kind of tone [we're going for], so for me it’s really important to this show. It’s just great that we’re on the same page!
You have been quoted publicly before as being on “Team Ryan.” Why? And in your real life, do you go more for a Bug, Jones, Baze, or Ryan?
Okay, let’s talk about this! I got an email from Kris Polaha a couple of days ago and he was like ‘What’s the deal: you’re picking Team Ryan!?’ And that’s not the case; I’ve had to make a couple of retractions! What I said was that if I, me, Brittany, personally was to have to pick Ryan or Baze– for me– I would pick Ryan because there’s a lot of taming involved with Baze. He’s like a small child! You have to sort of, like, raise him and nurture him, and make him into this guy that you want him to be, whereas Ryan is already a man. He’s already who he’s going to be. There’s no molding, sculpting…I wouldn’t be up to the task of molding Baze; I just want a pretty nice man! I would pick Ryan if I was me, Brittany, in Cate’s case.
I think Lux is obviously Team Baze because he’s her dad. She wants her dad to be happy; she wants her mom to be happy, so I think it’s whoever is going to [make them] happy for the situation.
And how about with Bug and Jones?
My mom is a huge Bug fan, so I’d probably just have to go with my mom’s advice and stick with Bug because he’s been there since the beginning. The thing about Jones is that he’s this sweet guy who really really cares about Lux and that’s appealing, too. I don’t know if I could really honestly choose because they’re so completely different.
Liz has mentioned she has begun to flesh out arcs for season two. If you could guest write an episode, what is a storyline you’d like to tackle? What would you like to see happen to Lux and her new family next year?
I have no idea what’s happening with season two! I couldn’t even imagine! The way that season one ends, it could go a million different ways. You know, I don’t write; I’m not so good at it! I have no idea what’s going on. I’m so excited to find out, though. I don’t necessarily have a preference. I’m just looking forward to finding out where [she] takes it! [Source]
Always amazing and how cool is that about the music?!
MTV’s Movie blog has posted this exclusive clip of Britt’s new film ‘Cherry’ which will screening soon at SXSW.
As you read earlier this morning, MTV News is down at South By Southwest right now. There are some great movies playing there, including this one from writer/director Jeffrey Fine. “Cherry,” which has its world premiere tonight, follows nerdy college freshman Aaron (Kyle Gallner) who meets and subsequently falls for Linda (Laura Allen), 34-year-old fellow student who is returning to school following a misspent youth. As the two become closer, Aaron meets Linda’s daughter, 14-year-old Beth (Britt Robertson), who in turn falls for Aaron.
You’ll need that context to truly grasp the awkward tension that Aaron must be feeling as events unfold in the exclusive clip below.
