Despite her upcoming murderous role, Ella Purnell had a hard time digesting her latest role.
Sweetpea: This Is What REALLY Makes Ella Purnell Angry
While discussing her murderous character Rhiannon Lewis in Sweetpea, which premieres October 10 on Starz and Sky, the British actress admitted that starring in the series had taken a "huge toll" on her mentally.
"People think I'm really messed up, but I swear I'm a happy, well-adjusted human being!" Purnell told The Guardian. "I can't watch horror movies. I don't really like to watch too much gore, or supernatural stuff. I'm not even really a big sci-fi person. And I'm not a gamer. So I don't know how any of this happened!"
In this six-part series, Purnell stars as Rhiannon, a quiet wallflower who develops a vengeful and intoxicatingly liberating desire for murder.
