“I’m a meditator-in the reality of today, and particularly for women, we don’t ever take 20 minutes unless we schedule it. Why she wants you to stop multitasking and start meditating: By the next day-and it takes a lot for me to get sore-I couldn’t believe how sore I was, and I realized it must have been because of the altitude.” There’s a scene in the film where I’m running after a plane and we must have done that for eight hours. “The altitude really helps in an interesting way-half of the out-of-breathness was acting on and half of it was just altitude. It’s a contrast between the fact that she is a gazelle who moves freely through space and on Mars-that’s weirdly her element-but on Earth, it’s much more difficult, which is reflective of her emotional state regarding Earth and Mars as well. Most of the training that went into it was zero-gravity, where mine and Asa Butterfield’s character are floating around in the spaceship. “We shot The Space Between Us in Albuquerque, New Mexico. How high-altitude training got her in shape fast: If I’m in L.A., I’m hiking and swimming.” If I’m in New York I'm doing Barre3 and SoulCycle. I’m really into Barre3 in the West Village, it’s such a kick-ass class. It’s great because I can do it in a hotel room anywhere I am. Yeah, it had us rushing to re-download Headspace and get ourselves into a downward dog ASAP-especially if it can help us radiate even a fraction of the warmth and calmness that Carla did on set. As far as staying calm despite a crazy schedule? She credits morning meditation over multitasking, and years of yoga. It included a lot of cardio (and high altitudes in New Mexico), plus wire training-aka using just your core to balance while being held up by a wire. While most of our day involved food, food, and more food, we did get a chance to chat about how she balances out those double-chocolate chocolate-chip cookies with a bit of Barre3 (her latest obsession) and SoulCycle, and how she physically prepared for her latest role as an astronaut in The Space Between Us. It’s an ensemble show and I still enjoy many of the other characters.If you’ve been tuning in, you’ll remember that we went on an epic food tour around New York’s West Village and Chelsea with actress Carla Gugino, who, IRL, is very sweet and thankfully shares very similar tastes with us (i.e., olives and negronis all day long). I will definitely be tuning in next week, because Nashville was never about just one character. And to the people talking about all of the loose ends? Guess what? In real life you don’t get to tie up everything into a neat little bow. I could understand if you thought the material was poorly written or executed, but I don’t see how people could think that. To get angry at a show because they killed off a character after the actor portraying that character decides to leave makes very little sense to me. Even typing this right now I’m getting choked up.Ĭonnie Britton has stated that this was her decision. The Stella girls and Chip Esten ripped my heart out. That being said, I didn’t HATE her character, and I was sobbing like a baby last night watching the episode. The most recent time was with the concept album, but its happened several other times as well. I also don’t really care for the way she would throw her past with Deacon in his face every time they have a major disagreement about something. Maddie would do or say something awful, and Rayna would just act all exasperated but not actually do anything to truly correct the behavior. The stuff with Maddie pretty much doing whatever the hell she wanted with virtually no repercussions was just maddening. I liked certain relationships and storylines with her, but there were also times I would just wanna shake her. I’m sure I’m going to catch a bunch of heat for this, but Rayna was never my favorite character anyway.
