Curious to know more?
Read on to discover the untold truth of Mackenzie Davis.
That’s definitely a different trajectory than, say,Kirsten Dunst’s orNatalie Portman’s career.
It was those positive experiences that presumably further solidified Davis' resolve to become a professional actress.
“I took a semester off to pursue modeling,” she toldInterview.
Given how slender and gorgeous Davis is, that is just ridiculous!
“I walked in like, Paris Fashion Week adjacent [shows],” she revealed toVulture.
“I was the worst!”
Davis' emigration happened to take place just after Barack Obama was elected president.
Like many other folks, Davis was riding high on a cloud of optimism at the time.
“And, of course, none of that was true.”
Our girl is woke!
“It was really daunting for me, and I felt young.”
“I learned how to work and be a professional,” she continued.
“Tonal shifts really appealed to me.”
Certainly that would keep things interesting and varied over the years.
But will we see Davis continue to expand her range of roles in the future?
“Happiest Seasonwas just two months of uninterrupted joy,” she continued.
“I realized I really like going to set every day and laughing.”
Who wouldn’t want to do that every day on the job?
“I’m so happy to be a part of it,” she gushed in an interview withVulture.
“I just think that’s so cool.”
And given that Davis was one of the episode’s stars, it rendered her a fan favorite.
“I’m so honored to be in any way involved or invited to participate in small doses.”
After that,Happiest Seasonwas the cherry on top.
“I went into it totally self-interested,” she revealed toThe Guardian.
“I wanted to work with these people, and I loved this story.
I failed to recognize the cultural importance.”
And that’s when savvy folks in the entertainment industry realized there was a market waiting to be tapped.
However, in retrospect she learned that her character Mindy Park was supposed to be Korean.
That’s why there was a backlash after the film’s release, as it was accused of whitewashing.
“I totally feel that complaint,” she revealed in an interview withVulture.
“I had no idea.
So I auditioned for the movie.”
And, of course, she was cast.
“But I thought a lot about it because it took me by surprise.
I feel very affected by it.”
The actresses ended up bonding about the struggles of acting for a living, which put Davis at ease.
It was Davis' first time on the set of a major action movie.
That had to be a lot to take in!
But interestingly enough, Davis refused to compromise when it came to what jobs she selected.
We are 100 percent here for that!
And that makes her proud as it should.
“I crave putting something together.”
“It’s ownership and not just handing [yourself] over to people,” she continued.
“It’s about harnessing that.”
“I loved playing all the wacky moments,” she added.
That doesn’t mean she’ll ignore you if you run into her, however.
For Davis, it’s all about balance.
“I’m so happy to have a conversation,” she continued.
And that’s something that Davis hopes to hold onto for as long as she possibly can.
