True that. Which I think worked, when she was playing Salander (as, from what I can tell, the whole "fierce, battered woman" schtick lines up with the original books), vis a vis the other two actresses who have played the role without the same "toughness".
But it doesn't work so well when almost all of her subsequent roles have been pretty much the antithesis of that, lol.
The "toughest" role I've seen her in, in the last 15 years, is almost certainly Lamb, and even then, I'm pretty sure she's a housewife, lol. And I think they only made her vaguely "independent and tough" because it's also a sort of Nordic noir...
In English-speaking roles, she's seemingly pretty much incapable of being any of what she claims to be in this article, which is... Amusing.
Then again I've rarely met a Swedish girl speaking English who sounded "tough". Grating? Sure. But rarely "tough"...
Danes, on the other hand...
Edit: Apparently she's half-Spanish. I always assumed she was second-gen immigrant Swede (there seem to be a lot with chips on their shoulders, especially women), but I assumed something more "exotic" than Spanish, lol...
Nah nah - I'm talking about all the talk about her "self-lived experience" like "I've allowed so much color in my life!". She's a shallow person trying to make her existence feel meaningful with vapid ideologies.
