卡雅·斯考达里奥:爱如迷宫,命若谜题

时间:2022-10-03 05:20:30

说当今娱乐圈新人辈出,一茬接一茬绝不过分。现在,我们隆重推介又一位影坛新宠―卡雅・斯考达里奥。她14岁出道,因出演备受争议的英国热门青春剧《皮囊》里叛逆的艾菲一角而迅速走红,接着成功演绎了英国名著《呼啸山庄》里不羁的凯瑟琳,如今,她更被好莱坞相中,成为二十一福克斯的青春巨制《移动迷宫》中唯一的女主角。有人预测,卡雅・斯考达里奥极有可能被打造为下一位詹妮弗・劳伦斯!

许多人说斯考达里奥长得像克里斯汀・斯图尔特,但她的乐观和直率却与“贝拉”相去甚远。而在现实生活中,她还是艾玛・沃特森的好闺蜜,是鲁伯特・格林特的粉丝。美丽、独特、灵动、性感,斯考达里奥身上似乎总有一股摄人魂魄的魅力,难怪连“都教授”金秀贤也一直把她奉为自己的理想型挂在嘴边!如今,22岁的小妮子正卯足了劲,向影视圈、时尚界发起冲击,她的未来充满了无限的可能!

Just before our interview, Kaya Scodelario posts a photo for her 200,000 followers on Instagram; she’s gesturing in the air midsentence, food in 1)gob, as she eats lunch with her agent. When we meet, she gives me a huge smile and then rushes out for a quick cigarette. She’s wearing shorts and a loose T-shirt and her hair tumbles down―even more fiercely beautiful in the flesh than on screen. She is only 5’6’, but she has long foal-like legs which she curls beneath her, and when her big eyes lock on yours it’s like they can read your mind.

Though she has a Kristen Stewart look about her, she’s naturally more animated and 2)exuberant than Stewart’s Bella Swan persona.“You’re going to have to shut me up,” she says.“I’m a chatterbox.” Before I’ve even asked a question about her new film, she asks about my tattoo and then, without prompting, reveals some of her own.

It’s clear, immediately, that Kaya isn’t like other film stars of her generation, with their poised and carefully distanced politeness. Raised by a single mother on Holloway Road, Kaya owes her fame, and intense following, to her role as the troubled, mostly silent and effortlessly 3)seductive Effy Stonem in E4’s cult show Skins. She may be selling her new Hollywood blockbuster at an exclusive London hotel, her agent tapping away on a MacBook in the same room and a hair and make-up girl hanging out in the suite next to us, but when Kaya talks about keeping her feet on the ground, of doing things her own way and living the life she wants to live, it’s difficult not to believe her.

It may be because Kaya wasn’t raised to be a film star. In fact, by the sound of it, she hasn’t had it that easy. Kaya was born in Sussex in 92; her mum, Katia, had just moved to the UK from Brazil. When Kaya was three months old, she was taken to London, where her mum found them a 4)council home and worked as a cleaner and then a secretary and Kaya was raised bilingual―English and Portuguese. Her parents divorced when she was small and she grew up with little memory of her dad. He didn’t get in touch until very recently and he died soon after. She was badly bullied at school and admits to being deeply shy, insecure and unsure of herself growing up.

At only 22, secondary school must still be a fresh memory for her, so it’s startling how far she’s come from that repressive time―from being a kid who got face 5)spasms after being pushed about by her so-called mates, to a 6)starlet who spent the last year in the Deep South of America playing one of the lead roles in The Maze Runner, a multi-multi-multi-million dollar 20th Century Fox franchise based on a best-selling literary series by James Dashner. Fox decided that The Maze Runner is going to be the next The Hunger Games―a high-concept, high-action ensemble drama, with lots of hot 20-somethings playing teenagers 7)in peril. And they’ve decided Kaya is their new Jennifer Lawrence.

Kaya saw the completed film the night before our interview. “I hate watching myself,” she says.“It’s weird. It doesn’t get any easier. It’s a very personal thing. You kind of want to do the film and then forget about it, and then you see it again a year later and you end up hating yourself.”

It’s a recurring theme for her: doubt, panic, the fear that somehow she can’t do it. “I cry, I want to go home, I feel uncomfortable,” she says of the first day on a new shoot, or of having to attend premieres. When, as a 14-year-old, she got to the Skins audition, she lost her nerve and decided against going in. Calming herself, she lit up a 8)fag and got talking to another guy. It was Bryan Elsley, one of the show’s creators. He must have seen the way she can roll her eyes as she blows out smoke. He must have seen that layer of attitude and core of vulnerability. He cast her as Effy straight away.

Yet the same thing happened on the day of her Wuthering Heights audition; Kaya freaked out and turned her phone off, missing her slot. Arnold saw something in her and cast her anyway (with Carey Mulligan, Gemma Arterton and Keira Knightley all rumoured to be in the running), and Kaya responded with a performance hair-raising in its 9)intensity and as wild as the 10)moors, in which pain, anger, obsessive love and betrayal are all communicated through purposeful strides, lingering looks and stares off into the horizon, wisps of her hair flying in the wind. “I feel electric, so alive, really free when I’m performing,”she says.

But she was glad, as she always is, to get back to “the rough bit” of Holloway Road. Kaya sees herself as a Londoner, before anything else. “It’s an instinctive thing,” she says. When she was going out with her Skins co-star Jack O’Connell, she spent two years living in Glossop, the small Pennine town near Manchester. “I just couldn’t do it. I needed the big city,” she says.“I’d sit there and think about it. I got the train back every weekend.”

The only other place that holds a sense of belonging for her is Brazil. “My instincts are Brazilian,” she says. “I have the polite, quiet English side, but I’m fiery like a Brazilian.”She has a sprawling family in Rio and when she visits, “I just feel like it’s my culture, like I fit.”

She hopes, one day, to make a Brazilian film. But for now she’s comfortable seeing what happens with this acting thing, even as Hollywood starts taking notice. For all her exuberance and her happy-go-lucky spirit, you get the impression that those doubts still linger like ghosts. And maybe they always will, even when her face adorns every red bus in London, and she can no longer walk down Holloway Road without being stopped to sign autographs. Maybe they’ll remain forever, doubts like mazes she has to run through. Maybe it’s what makes her so 11)fantastically exciting to watch on screen, however much she hates it.

就在我们的采访开始之前,卡雅・斯考达里奥在Instagram上给她那20万名粉丝贴了一张照片;她正边说着什么边打着手势,嘴里还嚼着食物,当时她正在和经纪人吃午餐。当我们相见时,她给了我一个大大的微笑,然后冲出去快速地抽了根烟。她穿着短裤和一件松垮垮的T恤,头发散披着―在现实生活中甚至要比在银幕上更美丽动人。她的身高只有5.6英尺(约1.68米),但却拥有小马驹一样修长的双腿,当时她盘腿而坐,而当她那双大眼睛凝视你的双目时,就像是能够读懂你的心思似的。

尽管看上去有点像克里斯汀・斯图尔特,但比起斯图尔特所饰演的贝拉・斯旺,她自然是更为开朗活泼。“你必须得叫我闭嘴,”她说。“我就是个话痨。”甚至在我还没开口询问她的新电影之前,她就开始问起我的文身,接着无需提醒,就自动自觉展示起自己的一些文身来。

立马就能明显看出,卡雅并不像她同辈的其他那些电影明星,他们都有着沉稳且小心保持距离的礼貌。住在霍洛威路,由单亲母亲抚养长大,卡雅将自己成名并追随者众的现象归功于她在E4频道推出的非主流电视剧《皮囊》中所饰演的艾菲・斯多纳姆―一个麻烦不断、大多数时候沉默不语且毫不费力就魅惑众生的姑娘。她身处伦敦的高级酒店,为自己新拍的好莱坞大片做宣传,她的经纪人在同一间房间里用苹果电脑发出报道,负责发型和化妆的姑娘就住在我们隔壁的套间里,一切也许显得奢华,但当卡雅说起要脚踏实地,以她自己的方式做事,过自己想要的生活时,很难不去相信她的诚意。

也许这是因为卡雅并不是从小就被培养着要当电影明星的。实际上,听起来,她的成名之路一点也不简单。卡雅在1992年出生于英国苏塞克斯郡;她妈妈卡提亚刚从巴西搬到英国。当卡雅三个月大时,她被带到伦敦,在那里她妈妈为她们找到了一间廉租房和一份保洁员的工作,接着又当了秘书,而卡雅则是在双语环境中长大―英语和葡萄牙语。她的双亲在其年幼时就离婚了,而她在成长中几乎没有关于爸爸的记忆。他直到最近才与她联系上,且不久后就去世了。她在学校里饱受欺凌,也承认自己在成长过程中异常害羞、缺乏安全感且不自信。

年仅22岁,她应该对中学生活记忆犹新,因此见到她从当初的压抑时光走到如今的灿烂星途,实在让人惊叹―从一个被所谓的伙伴推搡而患上脸部痉挛的孩子,到一名去年在美国深南部出演电影《移动迷宫》主角之一的影坛新秀,该电影由二十世纪福克斯公司斥资上亿美元打造,根据詹姆斯・达什纳所著的畅销小说系列改编。福克斯公司决定将《移动迷宫》打造成下一部《饥饿游戏》―一部集明快刺激和打斗场面于一体的电影,且集合了多名二十来岁的当红明星来饰演身陷险境的青少年。而他们认定卡雅将是他们的下一个詹妮弗・劳伦斯。

卡雅在我们访谈的前一晚观看了整部电影。“我讨厌观看自己表演,”她说。“感觉很奇怪。一点也不容易。这是非常个人的感受。你有点希望拍完电影然后就忘记它,但接着你一年后再看,最后会很讨厌自己。”

对她而言这个主题就是昨日再现:怀疑、恐慌,还有不知怎的令她无法演下去的恐惧。“我哭了,我想回家,我觉得不舒服,”她说的是第一天拍摄新场景,或是不得不出席首映时的感觉。14岁那年,当她参加《皮囊》的试镜时,她惊慌失措,决定不进去了。她让自己平静下来,点燃了一支烟,去跟另一个人聊天。那个人便是布莱恩・埃尔斯里,这部剧的制作人之一。他肯定是看到了她喷出烟圈时眼波流转的样子。他肯定是看到了她层层不羁外表下脆弱的内心。他直接选她饰演艾菲・斯多纳姆。

然而同样的事情发生在了《呼啸山庄》的试镜上;卡雅吓坏了,关掉了她的手机,错过了她的时段。然而阿诺德在她身上看到了某种潜力,还是将角色交给了她(据说凯瑞・穆丽根、杰玛・阿特登和凯拉・奈特利皆在角逐之列),而卡雅则以出色的表演作为回报:强烈爆发时震撼悚动、狂野如荒原之感,那痛苦、愤怒、痴迷的爱恨皆从她那果决的步伐、向地平线远方投去的恋栈目光及凝视、缕缕飞扬在风中的发丝中尽现无遗。“我感到紧张刺激,那么鲜活,当我表演时真的很自由,”她说。

但她很开心,就像她一如既往的那样,能够回到霍洛威路的“粗糙生活”。她把自己看作是个伦敦人,先于其他的一切。“这是件本能的事儿,”她说。当她和共同出演《皮囊》的影星杰克・奥康奈尔交往时,曾在格洛索普住了两年,那是曼彻斯特附近奔宁山脉下的一个小镇。“我就是做不到。我需要大城市,”她说。“我曾坐在那里,思考这个问题。我每个周末都坐火车回来。”

唯一的另外一个让她有一丝归属感的地方则是巴西。“我的天性是巴西人,”她说。“我有礼貌安静的英国人那一面,但我又像巴西人一样热情如火。”她在里约有亲戚,而当她前去探望时,“我就觉得那便是我的文化,我很适合那里。”

她希望有一天能制作一部巴西的电影。但到目前为止,她对表演这玩意儿还是感到很惬意的,甚至连好莱坞都开始注意到了这点。尽管她有着热情洋溢和乐天知命的精神,但你仍然能感觉到那些疑虑就像鬼魂一般徘徊不去。也许它们会一直逗留下去,即便她的面容妆点了伦敦的每一辆红色巴士,即使她走在霍洛威路总是给人拦下来索要签名。也许它们会永远逗留下去,疑虑就像她必须穿越的迷宫。也许那就是她在银幕上如此异常地令人激动的原因,无论她多么讨厌这一点。
