In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, Grace discussed her approach to selecting roles. The 20-year-old actress admitted that certain scenes remain outside her comfort zone.

“At this point, I definitely don’t do nudity or very hypersexual things,” Grace explained. She also expressed respect for performers who approach such roles differently.

“I respect anybody who can, but it’s terrifying to me,” the actress added. She acknowledged that her perspective might change someday, saying, “I don’t know if that’ll ever change.”

Grace then revealed how her childhood dream influences her career decisions.

“It’s not like I only do wholesome things—my character literally gets gutted by Ghostface in Scream—but my dream is to try and be a Disney princess someday,” she said.

The interview accompanied Grace’s Cosmopolitan cover shoot, which featured the actress posing in a Miu Miu outfit.

Despite her preference to avoid certain scenes, Grace has appeared in several horror films and other major franchises.

She plays Maysilee Donner and her twin sister, Merrilee, in “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.” A longtime fan of the franchise, Grace recently attended a screening in a fiery red dress inspired by Katniss Everdeen.

Grace also discussed her experience working on “Scream” and other major productions. Having started acting at five, she has spent much of her life on film sets.

Her upcoming projects include Netflix’s “Scooby-Doo: Origins,” where she plays Daphne. She previously made headlines for a Daphne-inspired outfit.

Grace also reflected on gaining greater creative control over her characters. She now enjoys sharing ideas with producers and contributing to character development.

Although she remains open to exploring different genres, the actress has made it clear that she currently prefers to avoid nudity and highly sexualized roles.
