When in London promoting her latest production, taking a starring role in Kong: Skull Island, the recent Academy Awards was still on the mind, with Brie Larson in attendance, presenting the Best Actor accolade to Casey Affleck. We were intrigued, a year on, how her own career has changed since the memorable night when she picked up the award for her turn in Room.
“Things like Captain Marvel and directing a film, they have direct correlations to the accolades I received for Room,” she explained. “But the funny part about it is that a huge part of my life is still the same, I still question whether or not I’m a good actor, whether I’m a good person doing enough in bringing more peace and beauty to the world. I still have the same friends and the same family. It’s funny cos in some ways there are things that have changed a lot but the majority is just the same, I’m the same person.”

Kong: Skull Island is released in UK cinemas on March 9th. You can read our review of the film here.
