Brie Larson Talks About Her Character In Lessons In Chemistry
During an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon in November 2023, Brie Larson spoke about her period drama Lessons In Chemistry. The actor said-
“It was brought to me about two years before the book even came out. It’s a fabulous book,” the actress said of the project. “And it took about that long to get it off the ground, but, yeah, they asked me to be a producer, which has just been amazing ‘cause it helps me …”
She further continued-
“Like when I’m playing someone like Elizabeth, who’s just such a rich character, it’s nice to help build her world and be there from the beginning. To be totally honest, I’ve been acting since I was like 7, and I’ve never really known what a producer does … actually, they do a lot. Let me tell you, I learned that it’s hard.”
Lessons In Chemistry is based on the novel by author Bonnie Garmus which follows the the story of Elizabeth Zott, whose aspiration of being a scientist is challenged by society’s stereotypical thinking about women as domestic help.
With an IMDb rating of 8.3 out of 10, Lessons In Chemistry is currently available on Apple TV+
