Brie Larson Reveals Her Approach to Activism

Brie Larson is on the cover of one of Variety‘s Power of Women issues!

Here’s what the 30-year-old actress had to share with the mag…

On filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton telling her that Jamie Foxx and Michael B. Jordan wanted her in “Just Mercy”: “OK, then I’m good because this is a form of allyship, and because both of them are the ones really doing the heavy lifting. These are extremely vulnerable performances.”

On her approach to activism: “How can you be decent to every single person you encounter? It starts with you, and then it’s just in a one-foot radius around you.”

On how she hopes “Just Mercy” will inspire audience introspection: “We as individual people need to look at ourselves and our biases, and where our hearts lie.”
