The problem arises, she notes, when its time to remove the elven add-ons.
When not leading an army, shes in ethereal dresses.
There were so many details.
The elves care about that a lot.
Theyre obsessed with beauty.
The Sweden-born actor, who moved to Wales as an infant, is a major fan ofJ.R.R.
Tolkiens work, and the films based on them.
Its easy to understand, then, just how big of a deal this is for her.
It added a heightened sense of pressure, but I was also like, Youve watched those films.
Youve read those books.
Youre obsessed with these characters.
Now is the time to use it.
I was probably driving the person next to me mad, she recalls.
I think sometimes you might have too many life-changing moments one after the other.
Galadriel is an iconic figure for anyone who has spent time in Tolkiens world.
That would be another faint-risk situation, she teases.
Also, I think sometimes talking to actors isnt as helpful aswatchingthem.
The Rings Of Powers multilayered story details the origins of the ultimate battle between light and dark.
And Galadriel is undeniably our anchor.
Its instantly clear that shes a force to be reckoned with.
Were barely introduced to the character when we witness her kill a snow troll.
This thirst for vengeance doesn’t make Galadriel the best team player.
Her own soldiers abandon her at one point.
On screen, the epic sword work and battle action appears to come effortlessly to our conflicted heroine.
I was really grateful, as I hadnt really done that before.
Id done lots of being attacked, but not being in control, she explains.
However, the bootcamp wasnt without its challenges, and the swimming lessons proved to be a humbling experience.
I thought I could swim.
He said, Lets go back to basics.
I could stay afloat, but now I can properly swim, and its been amazing.
So, did she leave the stunt training sessions with any major battle wounds?
I got through pretty unscathed, actually, Clark notes.
But on our first day of press at Comic Con, I twisted my knee.
Her TV shows of choice?
I watched loads ofThe Great Pottery ThrowdownandThe [Great British] Sewing Bee, she reveals.
Clark laughs, responding with: Im not surprised.
I think the reach of that show is similar to why I love Tolkien.
Its about gentleness, kindness, and the wonder of what people can create.
I find it so inspiring.
Its hard, because shes quite a big deal [to live up to].
I ask her if shes ready for the added spotlight that comes with such a role.
Ive been told Im a bit in denial about it.
But I dont feel…
I cant imagine thissupposedfuture that Im going to exist in, she shares, poignantly.
I feel very lucky that I have good friends and family around me, whatever happens.
I dont think my little life will change.
