Bustle Booth
Her character, Yasmin, might not be empowered but Abela certainly is.
Marisa Abela wants to make one thing clear: Shes never asked to do fewer sex scenes.
Can I wear more clothes?
Abela, 25, tells Bustle.
For me thats not actually what it is.
I enjoy people feeling empowered physically and sexually through Yasmin.
Im proud of that.
I just had less of it this time around.
As Abela wryly points out, Im not Yasmin.
Instead, Abela is an ambitious actor with eyes on a varied career.
I think that thats what its all about for me, she says.
Creating a repertoire of incredibly different parts.
And everyone would say, Oh, I didnt think she would do that.
