Emily Browning gives a fearless performance in her nude debut, Sleeping Beauty (2011), but as she tells Movieline , seeing the movie with an audience had her quaking in her boots: “I was meant to see it for the first time at Cannes. I said to my publicist, ‘I can’t do it. I need to see it before them, because I might pass out.’ It was the most nerve-wracking experience,” Emily said when asked her reaction to seeing Sleeping Beauty . “So they gave me a copy, and I watched it in bed with a bottle of vodka by myself because I was so nervous. But I was really happy with it, and it’s so rare for me to feel that about a film. ” But the official premiere was another story: “Watching it at Cannes was a different experience — with the huge screen, thinking, ‘Wow, I’m this giant naked person, and there are thousands of people looking at me’ …I was sweating profusely and gripping onto [director] Julia [Leigh]’s hand and kind of shaking a little bit.” Read more from Movieline’s interview with Emily Browning after the jump!
