Chiara Aurelia proof of love Julie Bowenchange in ownership Hysteria! — And she has the photos to prove it.
“It was a big change for her,” Aurelia, 22, told Us exclusively. our week Before The Peacock Show premieres on Friday, October 18th. “I have some very gremlin pictures of her on my phone.”
Aurelia praised Bowen, 54, for pushing her out of her comfort zone, adding: “They call her America’s mom. She is the next most iconic (actress). modern family. She is a wonderful, fun, light, airy and beautiful woman. So it was definitely interesting to see her play this character.”
The role of Linda felt like a departure for Bowen. “I’ve never seen her do anything like that before,” Aurelia said. “I think she had a good time. “It was obviously emotionally taxing and difficult, but ultimately I think we all had a really good time.”
Hysteria set in the 1980s! A high school heavy metal band revolves around the Satanic panic of the time, as a group of underprivileged people realize they can capitalize on their town’s sudden interest in the occult by establishing a reputation as a Satanic metal band. The plan doesn’t go as expected when a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings, and reported paranormal activity spark a witch hunt.
Bowen plays Linda — Dylan’s (MJ Anthony) Mother — Begins to grow increasingly worried that her son has an interest in the devil, before sinister events begin to haunt and torment her. The show doesn’t immediately reveal whether Linda was actually possessed by a demon, or whether there was another explanation that Bowen didn’t care about while filming the haunted scenes.
“If you become a creator Matthew Scott Kane They first contacted me and said, ‘I’d like you to do this.’ I only saw the pilot. So I wasn’t sure where the character was going. It was his explanation of a woman questioning her own sanity and how we can all put ourselves in that place.” Bowen said: us. “We all live in a bubble and we can all get information in a bubble. “It’s really cool to see how easily the hysteria of one news outlet can drive you crazy in an isolated small town in the 80s where everyone was getting their news from the local news station.”
Bowen is pleased to have adopted a realistic perspective, adding: “These are the thoughts of a woman who doesn’t know what’s real anymore. I always feel that way. … I didn’t know (the answer) while filming each episode. I made assumptions (and) had to go through the mental realm with Linda of “Is this real?” “Isn’t this real?” Instead of it frustrating me, I thought, “Oh, cool.” “He doesn’t know either, so we’re in the same place.”
After playing for over 10 years us‘ My favorite TV mom is modern familyBowen was excited to try something new and live up to expectations.
“It’s funny because I’m scared of horror and slasher material. I can’t see those things. But I did really well for 11 years on Modern Family, and the reality is America sees me as a mom,” she said. “The way I can change their perception of what kind of mother I am or what kind of actor I can be is to actually change and defy expectations.”
The actor said, “If you’re tied down to something and it doesn’t look that good, you feel free,” and said, “I want to try something different.” You don’t think about how you look. You’re completely into it.”
Aurelia has a similar interest in horror projects. before Hysteria!She starred in Netflix’s hit series. Pier Street Trilogy and said us When it comes to the genre, “there’s so much to love.”
“I’ve done a lot of work in the horror field, but I think each character I play is very different. So I’m really honored that they continue to welcome me and allow me to do more terrible things,” she said. “There are so many things I want to do, and I’m so grateful that I can act. It’s something I love and feel passionately about. So I think there are different characters and hearts and stories and people I want to work with. I hope to be able to do it all during my career. But now I’m enjoying the horror space.”
Hysteria! It’s currently on Peacock, and the pilot is simulcast on USA Network and Syfy. New episodes continue to air on Friday nights in the US.
