Mia Wasikowska recalls ‘silly’ love scene

(Cover) - EN Movies - Mia Wasikowska claims she was “off [her] rocker” during a passionate scene with Michael Fassbender for Jane Eyre.

The Australian actress plays the title character in the latest big screen adaptation of the gothic novel written by Charlotte Brontë. Mia has recalled filming one scene where Jane comes close to kissing the brooding Mr. Rochester, played by Michael.

Mia has revealed she had spent so many hours on set before the sequence, she found it hard to be serious.

“It’s funny because it was the last scene [we filmed] and everyone was so tired and so silly by then. I was off my rocker that day and I remember trying to reel it in to have the seriousness to do this scene,” she told Total Film. “But the chemistry between the characters is part of the attraction of the story. [Rochester and Jane are] kind of magnetised to each other. Michael’s just so incredible, he’s so charismatic himself, we got on so well and we were able to have a lot of fun and then channel that fun into the intensity of the material.”

Mia also addressed rumours about her involvement in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. There is speculation she turned down the role of Lisbeth Salander – which later went to Rooney Mara, who won an Oscar nomination for her performance.

“It’s funny because that story’s kind of been a little dramatized. I was never offered the role, I was in discussion but I like to do very diverse things and it was a big time commitment,” she explained. “[David Fincher] is a fantastic director though I really admire him, and the stories are great, I love them.”
