Rooney Mara
Rooney Mara says appearing in �The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo� has made her more masculine. The 26-year-old actress admits aspects of playing the rebellious Lisbeth Salander in the new movie stayed with her and has changed her style.
She said: �Before I got the part I was definitely more feminine and girlie. I wore a lot of pale shades and I haven�t really rediscovered that yet.�
�I�ve kept with the black and dark colours.�
In the movie, Rooney�s psychologically-damaged character exacts revenge on her rapist, but despite the graphic nature of some of her scenes, the actress insists they didn�t affect her because of the physical transformation she underwent for the role.
She explained to the Daily Mirror newspaper: �Because Lisbeth looked so different to me with the tattoos and piercings, it just never really felt like me so I didn�t feel strange or embarrassed.�
As part of her research, Rooney spent two months in Sweden � where the story is set � before the filming began and found the experience very helpful.
She said: �It was incredibly helpful because you can�t really understand the characters until you�ve spent part of a winter there. For me, the cold and the dark were really difficult to overcome.�
