As
for
why
Mikey
wound
up
declining
the
option?
The
Better
Things
alum
said
it
helped
her
empathize
with
her
character.
As
she
explained, “My
character
is
a
sex
worker,
and
so
to
me,
I
had
seen
Sean’s
films,
and
I
know
his
dedication
to
authenticity—I
also
wanted
to
immerse
myself
in
that.”
Indeed,
Anora
tells
the
story
of
a
Brooklyn-based
sex
worker
who
meets
and
marries
the
son
of
a
Russian
oligarch,
Ivan
(Mark).
“She
wears
her
nudity
more
like
a
costume,
in
a
way,”
Mikey
added
of
Anora. “She
presents
herself
in
this
sort
of
hyper
sexualized
way,
because
it’s
how
she
how
she
makes
a
living,
and
it’s
just
what
she
has
to
do.
And
so
I
think,
as
an
actress,
I
approached
it
in
a
way
of
it
being
a
job.
So,
I
was
very
comfortable.”
