Carey Mulligan talks her role alongside DiCaprio in “The Great Gatsby”

PanARMENIAN.Net - Carey Mulligan has spoken about her role in The Great Gatsby.

The actress - who plays Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel - revealed that she found the role "tricky", Digital Spy reported citing Total Film.

She said: "Daisy is kind of a tricky character, because she contradicts herself constantly, but she's also not very consistently laid out. She's eccentric, but seems to feel things passionately, but not necessarily for very long."

The 27-year-old has previously appeared in films such as Shame, Drive and Never Let Me Go, but said that The Great Gatsby was by far the biggest movie she has worked on to date.

"The scale of it is huge in comparison to all the films I've done," she admitted.

Mulligan also said that the party scenes in the film look so "wild" because of Luhrmann's directorial approach.

"The party scenes [Baz Luhrmann] directs through a megaphone. And he speaks personally to all of the dancers and the extras," she explained.

"So the parties look so wild because he's the one who is riling them up and everyone has such a good time."

The actress recently told Harper's Bazaar that her audition with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio left her "grinning", despite the fact that the actor was not one of her pin-ups as a teenager.

"He wasn't my pin-up, but he was for a lot of my girlfriends," Mulligan confessed.

The Great Gatsby is released in the US on May 10 and in the UK on May 16.
