Inde Navarrette explains why she avoided making friends while filming Obsession
Navarrette was too into her role to pursue friendships on the set of “Obsession”.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Focus Features held a special screening of the movie at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. Navarrette and director Curry Barker sat down to talk about various aspects of the film.
Navarrette said that she made a conscious decision not to pursue close bonds. This allowed her to focus on portraying the role.
“[Something] that I’ve never done on a set before was, I went on Obsession and I was like, ‘I don’t want to make any friends,’” Navarrette recalled. “And it’s not of, ‘I’m trying to be a dic*,’ or ‘I’m trying to be an a**hole.’ It was just, ‘I really want to focus on the work, and I really want to do this justice. I feel like this is my first opportunity to show range, and I fear that if I make really close friendships with people, that I will be scared to hurt their feelings if I need to go off outside and get myself together for this scene.’”
The actress continued, “I found on this set, Curry and I having a really good relationship of, when I needed five minutes to go get myself together, if I needed to come to him, it was super professional. Now, we’ve grown to be friends. But at first, it was like, ‘How can we do this movie justice?’”
The film was released by Focus on May 15. It follows Bear (Michael Johnston), who wishes that his childhood crush Nikki (Inde Navarrette) would fall in love with him. The terrifying consequences of this desire make up the film.
