BYRDIE – Odeya Rush: “It’s Good to Not Be Too Attached to What Other People Say to You/u>”

When I was getting ready to interview Odeya Rush, I wasn’t sure what to ask her. Whether playing mean-girl Jenna in Lady Bird or sweet, down-to-earth best friend Elle in Dumplin’, the 22-year-old actress sort of just… radiates perfection. She’s beautiful, charming, and magnetic to watch onscreen, sort of like that one girl you went to high school with who was somehow too cool to hate. What do you even say to someone so flawless?

But despite her air of effortlessness, it turns out Rush knows a thing or two about battling insecurities. After dealing with a vicious outbreak of acne during the filming of Let It Snow, the starlet tried every trick in the book to calm her skin—but it wasn’t until she changed the way she talked to herself that her self-image began to improve. Following her performance as difficult-to-love Addie in Netflix’s holiday film, out this Friday, Rush decided to treat herself with the same kind of empathy that she used as an actress to relate to her characters. Want to find out about how she got into the role of an ice queen, figured out her holy-grail acne routine, and built her self-esteem back up? Read on.

How are you doing? Did you do anything fun for Halloween?

Yeah, we had a Halloween party at my boyfriend’s house and all our friends were there. I dressed up as Jojo Siwa, so I was like, “I need some pinks and purples!” I made, like, a purple smoky eye.

Odeya Rush is the coolest girl you could ever meet. Starting with modelling, now onto acting, writing and directing. The most easy-going person to talk to, the star of Netflix’s Let It Snow sat down with us in the CANDID issue to discuss her favourite projects, growing up with 6 brothers, what it’s like directing music videos, what she sees herself doing in the future and how to write scripts like a pro.

When a snowstorm hits a small town on Christmas Eve, a group of high school seniors finds their friendships and love lives unexpectedly colliding. Only on Netflix November 8.

WONDERLAND MAGAZINE – Lady Bird actress Odeya Rush directs a music video about pastries in love, and we are so here for it.

Consider a pastry. A golden morsel of warmth. A flaky mound of happiness. There are many reasons to love the underrated food group, and now, prepare to give it a whole lot more of love with singer-songwriter Harry Nathan’s new visuals for his song “Alright”.

The Sydney-based artist has been making waves for a while now with his enchanting brand of lo-fi pop, and “Alright” is a hazy, feelgood track with shoulder-shaking 80s influences.

And the music video is truly a low-budget wonder to behold, featuring a mating dance between a chain-smoking croissant and a moustache-toting toastie, directed by none other than Nathan’s friend Lady Bird actress Odeya Rush. Obsessed.

This comes as Rush’s third self-directed music video for her friend and collaborator, musician, Harry Nathan.

We caught up with the Nathan and Rush below…

Hi both, love the concept of a love story between pastries – where did the idea for the video come from?
Odeya: We started with a simple idea to have Harry make a delicious sandwich in his kitchen. We thought it would be something super easy to make, though as the idea grew I knew we couldn’t make something that didn’t excite or challenge us. This video is the result of a DIY, super low budget attempt at a love story between a sandwich and croissant. Bon Appétit! Or in Hebrew, beteavon!

Harry, you wrote “Made this in my kitchen with my best mates” – it sounds like it was loads of fun…
Harry: The pastry love saga was a lot of fun, albeit being trickier to make than we thought, we had to learn a lot on the fly. Odeya was directing and shooting, whilst the rest of us worked the marionettes to bring the puppets to life.

Harry, what is the song about?
Harry: It’s about meeting someone and knowing you only have a short time together, so you need to make the most of it.

Odeya, is this the first time you directed something?
Odeya: Well, it’s my third time directing a video for Harry, but this has been a passion of mine since I was very young. I used to direct plays and make movies on my iPad with my younger brothers.

How did you get involved in the project?
Odeya: We’re always talking about random ideas, we’re best friends and hang out all the time so our projects tend to evolve organically.

Where did you get your inspiration from?
Odeya: I was hungry. I got inspired by those instagram food porn videos, and I love a good sandwich. Sandwiches are very friendly, and I thought it would be a good food to make a story around.

Would this be something you’d like to explore in the future?
We have so many crazy ideas. Of course we want to keep evolving and growing, we’re really inspired by a mix of different people from Wes Anderson to Tim Heidecker and hope to continue exploring our tastes and building this universe.

What’s next for you both? What are you excited for?
We’re working on a new video that’s in the same universe but also completely different to anything you’ve seen from us. Not promising anything, but there might be a goat in a vest…

Watch “Alright” below…

REFINERY29.COM – Odeya Rush Wants To See More Acne In Hollywood

For some, a lipstick is just a lipstick. But for others, it’s a source of strength, creativity, and expression. In our series Power Faces, we’ll explore the relationship between strong women and the makeup they choose to wear — or not. Our latest subject is 22-year-old actress Odeya Rush, who will star in Netflix’s upcoming film Let It Snow and Harry Nathan’s music video for “Alright,” which she also directed. This story was told to Thatiana Diaz and edited for length and clarity.

When I first started going to Hollywood events, I used to wear so much makeup. It would be heavy eyes, lips, lashes, and I looked older than I do now. I thought, “I have a professional makeup artist. Let’s go hard.” But I’d go to these events and look in the mirror and not recognize myself. So many people around me would say, “No, this looks good.” It just didn’t feel like me.

Eventually, I learned it’s really important to wear things that make you feel good about yourself. I don’t think I’m ever going to go that hard with heavy makeup again. For me, I look and feel better with something softer and more natural paired with a statement eye or lip.
