'Hollywood' Star Samara Weaving Talks To Her Plants While On Coronavirus Lockdown

"Hollywood" star Samara Weaving recently shared how she copes with her day-to-day pursuits, even if that meant talking to her own plants.

One of Hollywood’s latest breakout stars, the 28-year-old Australian actress has made a mark transitioning from her previous small-time film gigs to bigger projects. Though she is somehow a novel face in the film industry, Weaving isn’t entirely new as she notably debuted in the 2017 black comedy-drama “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and also starred in the 2019 horror “Ready Or Not.”

After Weaving landed herself a major role in what is claimed to be as one of the most anticipated projects of the year, the blonde beauty recently had a chat with InStyle and revealed her daily routine amid the imposed quarantine and where she currently stands as an actress.

“I talk to my plants all the time, what does that say about me?” Weaving quipped. “But it apparently makes them grow faster if you are very loving, if you say positive affirmations to them.”

The actress is presumably social distancing with her plants in her Los Angeles home following California’s strictly imposed quarantine measures. Weaving is also on a virtual press tour for the May 1 release of Ryan Murphy’s “Hollywood,” the director-producer’s classic reprise of Tinseltown’s golden era post-war.

In Murphy’s new Netflix series, Weaving stars as Claire Wood, a blonde screen siren and ambitious up-and-comer born from a wealthy and powerful family background. The Australian charmer is accompanied by an all-star cast like Darren Criss from “Glee,” David Corenswet from Murphy’s “The Politician,” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming” star Laura Harrier, to name a few.

Weaving also shared that her current roles have metamorphosed into a whole other level, pointing out how they are a bit more shied away from her usual horror bits. “I'm slowly getting less and less covered in blood,” the actress jested, referencing her recent portrayals in “Hollywood,” “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” “Picnic at Hanging Rock,” as well as her upcoming roles in the "G.I. Joe" spinoff “Snake Eyes,” and “Bill & Ted’s” latest segment.

When asked how she is handling the stay-at-home order due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Weaving shared that she is currently enjoying herself but explained why it makes her feel guilt-ridden.

“I'm in this constant state of guilt because I'm enjoying myself. I'm an introvert — well, an extroverted introvert — so I can have a good time just hanging out with myself indoors and reading books, doing puzzles, and watching movies,” the blonde actress said. “But I feel guilty because I know so many people are suffering, and [the coronavirus] is already having a huge effect on a lot of people. I'm just very aware of the privilege I have at this time.”

Meanwhile, with regards to how she jumpstarted her acting career, Weaving seems to be at ease with her chosen pursuit considering how it completely contradicts her personality. The “Hollywood” star revealed that she grew up as a shy kid and has been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder. The actress also shared how putting her into drama programs had “rubbed out well” and acting became her personal refuge saying it was her personal “coping mechanism.”

“Even as a kid I could tell, 'oh, I'm not going to be judged for being Sam right now. I'm this other character. I'm this make-believe person, and if anyone judges that person, it's not judging Sam,' if that makes sense,” Weaving stated. “It was this thing where I could still be myself and let people in and make friends, but in another way, protect myself as well.”
