Aussie-born actress Emilie de Ravin doesn’t fit the blonde, Hollywood airhead mould. She has a lot to say for herself with a refreshing outspokenness that immediately lets you know that she’s no ordinary girl. But nor is her latest movie, Remember Me, an ordinary story.
“The thing that really pisses me off with a lot of scripts and films is that they are too idealistic,” asserts de Ravin. “This was real and gritty; beautiful and ugly; sexy and sad – but romantic at the same time.” And if anyone understands the complexities of relationships it’s Emilie who, at just 29, has already been married and divorced, to actor Josh Janowicz. “When I read the script, I knew I needed to play this character. I remember thinking, ‘If I don’t get this, I’ll quit.’”
In Remember Me de Ravin plays Ally Craig, a young woman trying to return to normality after seeing her mother tragically killed, when Tyler, played by Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson, walks into her life. “I think Ally isn’t ruling out love, but neither is she looking for it,” explains de Ravin. “They launch into something that attracts them not just physically but on a mental and intellectual level, too. It feels very real,” she says. So what was it like working with man-of-the-moment R-Patz? “I didn’t know who Rob was!” she laughs. Surely not? “Really – I just read the script and fell in love with it.” This is typical of de Ravin’s attitude to Hollywood: for her, it’s more about picking the right projects and being lucky enough to be surrounded by decent people, than being a star.
