The star of Blue Jean discusses the intricacies of crafting a character who tries to make herself invisible ✨
, the eponymous Jean – a lesbian PE teacher working in a northern English high school – is continuously bathed in a piercing, oceanic glow. Blue light filters in through her gymnasium windows as she runs netball drills, blue tiles glint through her house, blue ripples distort her face as she lies in her bathtub.
Anahit Behrooz: She’s such a reserved character. How did it feel to be playing someone who is so caught in their own interiority?It was really hard to keep it all in. While we were filming, bizarrely, there were nights when I’d wake up and just start crying. I'd held it in so much, and I felt like Jean wouldn't allow herself to release. And that is way more tiring than having a big old cry, because getting everything out is cathartic.
Even though this was based on something real, real women who were living this life, you still have to make the character your own. That's the final piece of the puzzle when you're creating a character: you work out what they like for breakfast and the way they move and talk and then the final piece is a little bit of yourself that aligns with who they are. It's the pairing of yourself and all the rest.
