I keep it fresh, if the directors are ok with it. What’s so great with improv is that you immediately know what works. With Lilly’s character, it’s a little hard because she’s so quiet and it’s kind of chaotic for me to get an improv in there except for facial expressions. Do you think you bring those skills to Pitch Perfect ?Ī lot of improv happens in the Pitch Perfect movies. I always want to make people laugh and I’m happy when I make that happen. But once I entered the film industry, people started asking me: Can you do ninja skills? Can you do karate? Can you do an accent? And I answered, "Yeah I can do an English accent!" Then they were like, "No, that’s not the right one" and I was like, "That’s right, I’m Asian." I looked up to actresses like Drew Barrymore, people who are funny and charming. Well it’s weird, I grew up in America, so I never thought, "I’m Korean, I’m Asian, I only have Asian friends." All of my friends growing up were very diverse so before coming into this industry, I forgot. Most people wouldn’t wear checks and prints together, but with Lilly it’s a mismatch of all of that-but it works.ĭo you feel a certain responsibility as a visible Asian-American actor in America? It’s always really fun working with him on Lilly because we get to take her to the extremes. With Lilly, since the beginning he just got her really well, we have the patterns and the fit of not showing too much skin. It’s great because every character is so different, everyone is a singular person and Sal’s great. Is it fun seeing and working with costume designer Salvatore Perez?Įveryone has their own style in the movie. But let me say this, we are always surprised by Lilly. I don’t want to give it away because it’s a nice surprise. It’s going to be really fun this third time. Your character Lilly saved the day in the second movie, what can we look out for in the third movie? ![]() There are crazy dances and I was like, "Oh shit, am I going to be able to do that? Am I going to look weird and uncool now that I’m much older?" Thoughts like that never even occurred to me until recently. Now that I’m older, I’m asking AJ, our choreographer: Is this going to be ok for our back later on? Or our necks? It’s funny how that has changed a lot. When I was younger, the more crazy the moves, the more interesting they are. Well not awful but as you get older, it gets harder. What was it like learning all new choreography?Īwful. It feels like going back to summer camp when you’re a kid. I think it has been almost six years since the first rehearsal and it has been really fun because we have the same choreographer, vocal arrangers. HANA MAE LEE: It was great, we all had a familiarity coming back to set. Mae, who has had bangs before everyone else jumped on the bandwagon, opened up about the making of the women-led and directed film and what it’s like being an Asian-American actress in Hollywood.īROADLY: This is the third Pitch Perfect, how was reuniting with the cast?
