\u2014 Lily Gladstone Updates (@LilyGUpdates) April 20, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Lily Gladstone and Riley Keough were interviewed by the NY Times for their new Hulu miniseries Under the Bridge, about the real life Reena Virk murder.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Neither Lily or Riley are surprised by teen girls being capable of extreme violence. <\/p>\n
\u2022 On female violence, Lily is more blunt, Riley is more forgiving:<\/p>\n
GLADSTONE:<\/b> I remember having an awareness of how girls will fight to the death, and boys just fight until they feel better. Girls scratch. They pull hair. They kick. They bite. They go at it until there\u2019s intervention.<\/p>\n
KEOUGH:<\/b> But again, it\u2019s case by case. It could be to impress the cool girl in school, or it could be that something\u2019s going on at home<\/p>\n

\u2022 Both were asked what they were like as teenagers:<\/p>\n
LILY GLADSTONE:<\/b> Whenever I meet anybody from high school, \u201cOh my God, you\u2019re the same person\u201d is pretty much what I hear. That version of Lily really built the foundation for who I am now. She had this sense of where she wanted to go. She cracks me up a little bit. Riley, I get the sense that you had a lot of energy, though I don\u2019t want to say you were ever too much to handle because you don\u2019t really have that vibe.<\/p>\n
RILEY KEOUGH:<\/b> Well, my parents would have said differently.<\/p>\n
GLADSTONE:<\/b> Mine, too. They say there\u2019s a reason I\u2019m an only child. But I feel like if I was your teacher, I would have been like, \u2018She\u2019s going to do some pretty awesome things.\u2019<\/p>\n
KEOUGH:<\/b> I needed that teacher. I would say that I was always very sensitive and kind. The kids that maybe didn\u2019t have friends, I always wanted to sit with. I had that instinct. But I had a wildness in me, too. I\u2019m an adventurous spirit. I wasn\u2019t a teenager who was a very big problem or anything. I just loved life and I wanted to experience it all.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Lily was drawn to Under the Bridge because Riley was involved. [Book author Rebecca Godfrey handpicked both Keough and Gladstone for their roles, she would pass away from cancer in 2022, weeks before filming began]<\/p>\n
\u2022 They discuss Columbine and listening to music like Marilyn Manson during that period and the judgement of that during the panic in the 90s, when the Virk murder took place.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Lily was drawn to the fictional Cam because she was a First Nations character, and the murder occurred by tribal land.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Producer Quinn Shepherd previously told Indiewire Rebecca’s characterization came from Rebecca’s own journals\/investigation notes during the period of the crime, and Rebecca working with the producers for three years before her death.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Riley gets affected by the locations she shoots at, and Lily notes Riley was cold all the time. Riley agrees it affected her performance. <\/p>\n
\u2022 Both Riley and Lily believe in rehabilitation and reconciliation for crime.<\/p>\n
GLADSTONE:<\/b> Even if a person\u2019s worst action doesn\u2019t necessarily define them, worst actions do define the world for everyone else.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Do you think that the girls you were would be proud of the women that you are now?<\/b><\/p>\n
KEOUGH: I\u2019m proud of Lily!<\/p>\n
