Maleficent’s Isobelle Molloy Interview!

Isobelle Molloy’s sweetness is almost matched by her knack for landing iconic roles!

When I first got wind of this interview opportunity I was ecstatic! I loved Maleficent and I loved Isobelle’s performance in the film. Taking on quite the iconic role was an easy task for the 14 year old young lady who already had theatre experience playing Matilda in Matilda The Musical in the west end production of the musical. Citing Road Dahl as a favorite of hers growing up it’s easy to see how she landed the role of Matilda as well as young Maleficent. In fact her role as Matilda led to her audition for Maleficent
Isobelle has quite the spirit and enthusiasm about her experiences so far in the craft from her first visit to LA to do CGI recording for the film to working on her first feature film production. She made sure to tell me she feels quite lucky to have had the opportunity to do all that she has already done at such a young age. In fact you can catch her playing Louisa in The Sound of Music in November and after that she plans to continue to focus on school and see where the world takes her. Which in my opinion will be a very good place considering her talent and charm.

One thing that struck me about Isobelle was her description of meeting Angelina Jolie who plays Maleficent in the film and is widely known around the world not only for her humanitarian work but for her acting as well. Isobelle spoke of Angelina with the highest regard yet she says she wasn’t imitated in the least bit by her. Isobelle’s fearlessness is quite amazing. Isobelle even furthered her take on Angelina by taking about the conversations they had about their character and even the contact lenses they both had to wear in the film. A refreshing and I’m sure nice change for Angelina to be treated not as an actress but a human. In fact I think we all can learn a lesson from Isobelle’s words. People are human before anything else.

Furthermore I talked with Isobelle about her favorite scene in the movie which is one of the final scenes between Maleficent and Aurora and one I won’t spoil for those who haven’t seen the movie but I will say it’s quite possibly my favorite scene as well and quite the unexpected delight. Isobelle also enjoyed getting to fly in a harness as the fairy and work with the green screen which she says didn’t make it more difficult to perform at all. She was so enthusiastic about every part of the experience she got to take part in from the beginning to the end of our interview I could tell as she talked with such pride and astonishment about her work. I personally cannot wait to see more from this young lady in the future.
Stay tuned for more Maleficent! (and maybe even another interview soon…)
