Script in Her Arms: How Karen Gillan Wrote a Horror Story While Rocking Baby Clementine
SCOTS SENSATION KAREN GILLAN REVEALS HER SECRET TO BALANCING PARENTHOOD AND HOLLYWOOD SUCCESS
In a jaw-dropping revelation, Karen Gillan has let slip that she penned a screenplay while juggling motherhood duties to her adorable newborn daughter. The 37-year-old actress and devoted mom of one, who welcomed baby Clementine last December with her American husband Nick Kocher, 38, stunned fans with her multitasking skills.
The Guardians of the Galaxy star, known for her bold on-screen presence, took a break from saving the galaxy to tackle the challenges of parenthood. In an exclusive chat with Virgin Radio host Ryan Tubridy, Gillan dished about her creative exploits while caring for her wee one. The Scots actress confessed that she found herself scribbling away on her phone during those sleep-deprived moments when baby Clementine would snuggle up in her arms.
"I was like, 'What can I do right now to pass the time?'" Gillan explained. "I didn't figure out how to put the baby into the crib just yet, so it was all contact naps. I thought, 'You know what? I'll create something!' So, I started typing on my phone... and then got it in my head and would get it out once the baby wasn't on me."
Gillan's horror script, which is likely to be her most ambitious project yet, promises to push the boundaries of storytelling. "It's probably going to be the biggest undertaking of my life," she hinted. When pressed for details, the actress remained tight-lipped, but it's clear that this new venture will be a challenge unlike any other.
The former Doctor Who star, who has made a name for herself in Hollywood, also touched on the bittersweet experience of watching her daughter grow up with an American accent. "She'll be like 'Hey mom' and I'll be like 'It's mum'," Gillan said with a chuckle, revealing the inevitable cultural clashes that come with raising a child in a foreign country.
As for navigating life under the spotlight, Gillan confessed that she's not immune to the attention. When asked if she can move around London without being recognised, she replied candidly, "I can." However, she admitted that her hometown of Inverness is a different story altogether: "That's a smaller place, and people are much more aware of me."
Gillan also laughed off the suggestion that she's glamorous, saying with a grin, "I just don't view myself that way." This down-to-earth attitude is a refreshing change from the typical Hollywood persona, and fans will be eager to see how this multifaceted star continues to balance her personal and professional life.
