For actress Miranda Otto, a career change can be a liberating experience. "It can be a gift when things go absolutely the wrong way," she notes about her most chaotic set experiences.
Otto recently starred as the Queen of the Cuttlefish in an animated film and is now taking on another role that showcases her versatility as an actress. However, for this journalist, it's not easy to imagine herself in any other fish, let alone a blue groper or a cuttlefish. The sea creatures have a mesmerizing quality to them that captures the imagination.
Despite playing memorable characters such as Eowyn in 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, Otto says she is a firm believer in having fun and being present during chaotic moments on set. Her love for a certain Ernst Lubitsch comedy film has also been well-documented – it's "brilliant" and provides endless laughter.
When asked what was the most memorable interaction she experienced with a fan, Otto recounted stories from her fans about how Eowyn inspired them during difficult times in their lives. Fans continue to be fascinated by Otto's ability to bring characters to life on screen.
Interestingly, fans have often asked about the infamous stew scene from 'The Two Towers', and while Miranda may not be able to reveal all of its secrets – she does say that it involved a mix of ingredients designed to make it appear unpleasantly textured.
Otto has had her share of cringe-worthy celebrity encounters, including one in which she was mistaken for another actress at a pilates class. The actress has admitted to being starstruck and unsure how to react.
Despite the chaos that can erupt on set, Otto revealed that if she weren't an actress, she would be good with numbers – perhaps even a mathematician or accountant. However, when asked about her best piece of advice for aspiring actors, she emphasized the importance of embracing failure as a learning experience.
Now, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of 'The Pout-Pout Fish' in Australian cinemas and US cinemas on March 20th.
