‘It Was Fun To…’: Shailene Woodley Reveals How New Three Women Series Left Her Inspired

by

As an ardent fan of Shailene Woodley, I must say her latest project, Three Women, has left me utterly spellbound and emotionally moved. Her portrayal of Gia, a character that embodies emotional openness, has been nothing short of transformative for both the actress and the audience alike.

During the New York premiere of the series “Three Women” on September 9th, Shailene Woodley discussed how her character Gia helped her explore deeper emotional aspects. She mentioned that this role allowed her to let go of her typical emotional restraint and provided her with new, meaningful self-understandings.

Freedom in Emotional Expression

In her own words, Woodley characterized her character Gia as someone who is openly emotional, a trait that the actress had previously been more reserved about. She shared with PEOPLE that it was enjoyable to express herself so freely. Three Women, adapted from Lisa Taddeo’s non-fiction book, delves into the intricate personal lives of three women, focusing on their complex relationships and female sexuality. Woodley’s portrayal of Gia, a fictionalized depiction of Taddeo herself, provided her with an opportunity to explore emotional vulnerability in ways she hadn’t done before.

A Collaboration with Lisa Taddeo

In their collaboration, Woodley acknowledged Lisa Taddeo for allowing her creative control in shaping the character of Gia. She expressed that Taddeo’s openness personally resonated with her performance. In response, Taddeo commended Woodley for incorporating her own experiences into the role without imitation, saying, “She made me feel understood without mimicking me, just by being herself.” This partnership provided Woodley the liberty to make Gia uniquely hers, resulting in a compelling and multi-dimensional portrayal.

In the premiere of “Three Women,” I, Shailene Woodley, eagerly anticipate that viewers will find solace in recognizing a piece of themselves in this series, perhaps feeling less isolated in their own journeys. I strongly believe that it’s crucial to accept and embrace our true selves, for we are far more captivating and intriguing than the masks we wear for the world. My heartfelt portrayal in “Three Women” is designed to resonate with audiences who yearn for comfort in their own truths. Tune in on Sept 13th on Starz to experience this emotional rollercoaster.
