Carey Mulligan Covers 'Vogue' May 2013 as Daisy Buchanan!

Carey Mulligan gets into character as Daisy Buchanan on the cover of Vogue‘s May 2013 issue, on newsstands April 23.

Here is what the 27-year-old Great Gatsby actress had to share with the mag:

On waiting to find out if she got the role: “I was trying to be cool, but oh, it was horrible. It was terrifying, the suspense. I was winding down on shooting Drive, so I wasn’t working that much, just waiting around for the phone to ring and for me to be disappointed.”

On making the Great Gatsby: “It was crazy and exhausting and quite overwhelming… the biggest, craziest production I’ve ever been involved in.”

On her good fortune in Hollywood: “It’s unsettling that you get exactly what you wanted. Not like some version of it, not a slightly lesser version of it, but exactly. You’re like: This is weird. It is weird.”
