Teresa Palmer's 'Light's Out' Character Is Very Relatable To Her Real Life

Teresa Palmer is all smiles while posing alongside her Light’s Out co-star Alexander DiPersia while attending the 2016 MTV Fandom Awards held at PETCO Park on Thursday (July 21) in San Diego, Calif.

That same day, the 30-year-old pregnant actress and Alexander were joined by their other cast mates Maria Bello and Gabriel Bateman at the WIRED Cafe after promoting Light’s Out at SiriusXM’s Entertainment Weekly Radio Show as part of 2016 Comic-Con.

“I’ve always been a big fan of the genre, but this movie felt very different in that it was about this family dynamic,” Teresa expressed about the film. “My mother suffers with schizophrenia – in the film and real life actually, too – and so for me it was very interesting to see the dynamic between all these family members and seeing the breakdown of their communication.”

“There’s such a dysfunction there that was very appealing to me,” Teresa added. “It was just lovely to delve into this world that felt very real. Aside from the supernatural element, it felt like a family drama, and we wanted to act it that way. We wanted to play these believable characters as realistically as possible.”

FYI: Teresa is wearing a Giorgio Armani dress at the 2016 MTV Fandom Awards.

Teresa Palmer stands back in fear during a moment from the Lights Out trailer.

Here is the movie’s synopsis: “When Rebecca (Palmer) left home, she thought she left her childhood fears behind. Growing up, she was never really sure of what was and wasn’t real when the lights went out…and now her little brother, Martin (Gabriel Bateman), is experiencing the same unexplained and terrifying events that had once tested her sanity and threatened her safety. A frightening entity with a mysterious attachment to their mother, Sophie (Maria Bello), has reemerged. But this time, as Rebecca gets closer to unlocking the truth, there is no denying that all their lives are in danger…once the lights go out.”
