t h e Though shes played
a mummy and an
undercover agent, theres
nothing covert about
Sofia Boutella.
S
ofia Boutella has fast-tracked to fame in the last few years.
First came Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014) and before
that, the screen siren upped the ante with a key role in Star Trek:
Beyond (2016). Then she exploded onto the screen again,
playing the title role in The Mummy (2017) opposite Tom
Cruise. Most recently, she burned up the screens in Atomic
Blonde (2017) alongside Charlize Theron. Theres something
about the Algerian bombshell her unique features, striking
physique and exotic accent is
now drawing all eyes on her,
even after initially not being
able to find her niche. Casting

and shes glad to have had the chance to work with the be on a set with
some of the top
biggest in the business. Im humbled to have been able
to be on set with so many great actors at this stage in my
career, Sofia said.
Its certainly glory days for the 35-year-old Algerian-
born actress whose family fled to Paris in 1992 during

the height of that countrys civil war, who would later
study gymnastics (she made the French Olympic
myself doing
gymnastics team at age 15), ballet, and modern dance,
often earning money by break-dancing in the streets of scenes with
Paris. After moving to Los Angeles in her mid-twenties,
she landed gigs touring as a principal dancer with people I once
dreamed about
Madonna and studied acting for six years. Here, she talks
acting and about how she fit in, by standing out.
Sofia, you seem to be making one big
Hollywood movie after another. How working with.
does it feel?
Its pretty phenomenal and it feels like
I havent stopped working over the past two years. It s exciting for me to suddenly
be on a set with some of the top people in the business and find myself doing
scenes with people I once dreamed about working with as a teenager.
How was it playing opposite Charlize Theron?
It was mind-blowing to work with her. She made things very comfortable for me
especially in those intimate scenes and it wasnt that hard to work with someone
whos so gorgeous. She is such a great actress and I really appreciated being
able to have the chance to work with a woman who has accomplished so much
and is both a very strong and generous woman.
In Atomic Blonde , you and Charlize share some very torrid scenes
together. What was it like doing that very intense scene? Was it awkward
at all for any of you?
I was very nervous at first and it took me a bit of time to get comfortable. But
Charlize was so cool about it that I was able to relax pretty quickly and just be in
the moment. You crack a few silly jokes to loosen the tension but you also need
to pay attention to a lot of the technical aspects of shooting a scene like that
which is not sexy at all.

CLEO.COM.MY DECEMBER 2017 77


How does it compare to your experience on
The Mummy ?
The biggest difference is not having to spend four hours
in makeup every morning to become that character. It
was a pretty intense process but it also added so much
depth and feeling to the way you become this monster.
You needed to have all that makeup and clothing to get
you into that kind of a character. The worst part was when
I had to be buried in the coffin. It was not the greatest
experience while they were wrapping me and I couldnt
move or speak it was frightening.
Is it odd to play a monster, especially since you
havent had that many acting roles before?
One of the main reasons I wanted to do the film was
because they made the Mummy a woman. That was a
first and even though it scared me at times to transform
into that kind of personality it was also what appealed to me
about her. I think its important to explore why a woman like this
becomes a monster and understand the terrible f**ked-up things Alongside Charlize
Theron in Atomic Blonde
that turn some people into monsters. Shes a metaphor for what can
happen when people suffer through very bad things we all have sides
of us that are ugly and monstrous. That was why having a lot of backstory
to her was important to explain what happened to her that she turned into
this kind of being.
You grew up in Algeria before your family moved to Paris while
the Algerian Civil War was raging. What was it like adapting to DID YOU
Y
ACTUALL
a new culture?
It was difficult at first but then I grew to love French culture and start to get
involved in gymnastics and dance. I loved expressing myself through that
and I hoped that I would be able to make dance my life at some point.
KNOW?
She was a graduate from the

So while that didnt work out
in the end (because of MJs
death), she ended up playing
the main role in a music video
for Hollywood Tonight, a song
from his post-humous album.
She loves beauty products
(just like we do!). Her Parisian-

I was probably a
little crazy and

a lot of passion
and ambition.
How difficult was it to make the switch to acting after ten years as
a professional dancer?
I studied acting for six years and during that time I was also going on many
auditions and getting rejected a lot. That s part of what you have to go through
but I didnt allow myself to get discouraged... Acting was always enticing me.

Even if I was not going to be successful, at least I had to try. I was probably a

Was it frustrating dealing with the rejection from casting directors?
For about two years, I was always hearing No which begins to make you lose
your confidence or you hear nothing at all! That s even worse. I didnt fit inside

characters I dont want that to be all I do. Im not complaining, but Id like to do
more drama and maybe some comedy and not always rely on my body.
You spent eight years touring with Madonna as a dancer. What was your
impression of her?
Madonna is an amazing person. It was out of this world to be able to work with
her. Yes, she has this out there persona, but shes the sweetest, most down-
to-earth woman. Shes taught me so much about the world, about myself. Shes
shaped a lot of who I am today.
Did Madonna help you in terms of your desire to break into acting?
She knew I wanted to go into acting, and always encouraged that. She
personally introduced me to Marion Cotillard she really cares like that. A lot
of my success in acting so far is down to learning and working with Madonna.
She wanted us dancers to create a story with our movements and really believe
and embody that. You have to mean what you do and Ive learned to do that Just lounging about,

suffering horrible bouts like that in silence. But she told herself that it
was just a phase; after all, she had just turned 25 and it was probably just a hit of the
quarter-life crisis... right? She figured it would pass after recharging over a long weekend.
But it didnt, and spiralled into something worse. She began to withdraw from her
usually thriving social life, choosing to spend more time alone and at home for fear that
another bout would trigger while Instagramming over brunch. She once even went to the
hospital thinking she was having a panic attack.
