Camila Morrone Steps Into Her Own Spotlight

 

  

 

The Daisy Jones & The Six actress is the star of her own show.

 

Winding through Laurel Canyon on my way to Beverly Hills is the closest I’ll probably get to time travel. The historic neighborhood, with its bright, hand-painted signs calling for peace and love and charming Spanish- and cottage-style houses, was the epicenter of ’60s and ’70s counterculture. A one-time home to Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa, Mama Cass, and Jim Morrison, the Canyon leads to Sunset Boulevard, which is currently plastered with billboards for Daisy Jones & The Six. The décor is fitting: the area figures heavily into the series adaptation of the popular novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, which follows the origin, come-up, and downfall of a fictional ’70s rock band with Fleetwood Mac levels of fame.

 

A few miles southwest, and about five decades through time, Camila Morrone, who stars in the series, strides through the doors of a Beverly Hills café. Flanked by two large, blond dogs, she introduces herself as Cami and is dressed head to toe in black: a tiered maxi dress, a chunky leather belt accentuating her waist, Adidas Gazelles, a cashmere sweater covered in dog hair (courtesy of her shedding rescues, Jack and Sally), and a quilted Chanel hobo bag.

 

“What can I get you to drink? You’re meeting me at my local coffee shop!” she insists. We strike up a deal — I’ll watch the dogs while she gets the coffee. This seems more than amenable to Jack and Sally, who plop down on the floor, unbothered. She returns with our iced beverages despite the frigid 59-degree weather, which, by L.A. standards, may as well be sub-zero temps. “Cheers,” she offers, clinking our plastic cups.

 

We had initially planned to meet near the Canyon for a hike, but Jack and Sally were eager to be taken on “a quick walkie,” one of the everyday tasks Morrone relishes when she’s not traveling for work. She points out a flower shop next to the café and proceeds to gush at how “gorgeous” and “endearingly staged” the floral arrangements are in the boutique.

 

Although she’s clearly settled in Beverly Hills now, Morrone, 25, has called all corners of the city home. This deep familiarity with L.A. is a by-product of having divorced parents who came to Los Angeles from Argentina shortly before Morrone’s birth and raised her everywhere from the West Side to the Valley. “I was never able to have a base anywhere or a solid, consistent group of friends. That was hard for me,” she says between sips of her iced matcha latte. “Growing up, I had a little bit of jealousy toward the kids that had known each other since pre-K.”

 

Perhaps that was a blessing in disguise: The constant upheaval of her childhood is what helped Morrone acclimate to her unpredictable line of work, leading her to eventually star in indie films like Never Goin’ Back and Mickey and the Bear. “It is what prepared me for the lifestyle of a nomad, picking up and relocating, and picking up and relocating, which I actually enjoy because it makes me feel like a citizen of the world,” she says. As someone who has worked professionally since her early teens, Morrone emphasizes the importance of having financial independence as an adult. While her Daisy Jones character takes agency over her life in a way that will surely be controversial to fans of the book, for the actress, feelings of “empowerment” arise from making her own decisions about the roles she auditions for, the friends she surrounds herself with, and running her household. “Believing in myself gives me that feeling of, Wow, maybe I can achieve the things that I want to achieve.”

 

Soon after our meeting, Morrone will take off on yet another grand adventure. First, she’ll travel to London to begin the press tour for Daisy Jones & The Six. Afterward, the cast — which includes Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, and Suki Waterhouse — will continue onto L.A., New York, and Austin for South by Southwest. “I have the jitters,” she says of her impending trip. “It doesn’t stop until the finale of the show.” (Unfortunately, Jack and Sally will sit out the tour; Morrone’s friend will dogsit in the interim.) In spite of her nerves, she is overflowing with excitement at the thought of reuniting with her castmates, who haven’t all been in the same room together since filming wrapped. The group is used to digital communication, though; after filming was shut down by the pandemic, the crew kept in touch via WhatsApp. “If someone peeked into this group chat … there’s some content,” she says coyly, likening the group dynamic to that of adult summer camp. “We were like hyenas, laughing uncontrollably. No one could focus. It’s like when you put all of us together in a room, we just get the giggles.”

 

Morrone’s character — also named Camila — is not a member of the titular Six, but she is the nexus of the band. “Daisy is the flashier character,” she says of her foil, played by Keough, “but I really found this beauty in Camila that was palpable and powerful. This woman was soft spoken and consistent, but had a real impact on people.” As the wife of the Six’s front man, Billy Dunne (Claflin), Camila spends much of the series in her husband’s shadow, supporting her partner’s creative endeavors while working to make her own name as a photographer and taking up the mantle of less glamorous responsibilities. Morrone doesn’t have to look far to draw inspiration for the character: last summer she was subject to much scrutiny after ending a years-long relationship with a titanically famous boyfriend. When asked about the obvious parallels, Morrone remains diplomatic. “With any character that I play, I try to bring what I know from my real life,” she says. “That’s the main thing that I learned in acting class, how to tap into moments in your life that were impactful. So I don’t think it’s any different for Camilla, I just tapped into what I knew. I do see her as incredibly independent, despite Billy being a rock star.”

 

Today, Morrone can’t help but feel like she’s on the precipice of something big. Maybe it’s because this time tomorrow she’ll be en route to London to promote her first major show, backed by every publicist and advertiser in Amazon’s arsenal. But perhaps it’s something more universal that comes with age. “I’ve never learned so much as being 25 years old,” she says. “I am just starting to feel like a woman. But I also feel little in a lot of senses.” (It’s no surprise that her taste in literature reflects this theme: She is looking forward to reading Milk Fed by Melissa Broder on her flight and hopes to tackle Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation when she finds a free moment in her increasingly busy schedule.)

 

Jack and Sally are attracting far more attention than their owner, with passersby rubbernecking to catch a glimpse of the two beautiful dogs splayed out on the tile floor. “This is what I like to call a foster fail,” Morrone says, thrusting her chin in the direction of her pups, whom she adopted early in the pandemic. “I really did not foster them with the intention of adopting them … Here I am with two Siberian Huskies.” As we prepare to part ways, Morrone glances down at Jack and Sally, who are resting at her feet. She coos and snaps a few photos before she stands to her feet. It’s time for walkies.

Sam Claflin and Camila Morrone on Daisy Jones & The Six: ‘The easiest part of filming is being with each other’

Sam Claflin and Camila Morrone discuss how they built Billy and Camila Dunne’s relationship in Daisy Jones & The Six

 

“Ever since the chemistry read, it just felt very natural with Sam,” says Camila Morrone. “I think we genuinely like each other – at least, I genuinely like him, we’re still figuring out if the feelings are reciprocated.”

 

“They’re reciprocated,” Sam Claflin jumps in.

 

Claflin and Morrone spoke to us ahead of the release of Daisy Jones & The Six, Amazon Prime Video’s hotly anticipated adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel of the same name. The series charts the rise and fall of the biggest rock band in the world, from their humble Pittsburgh beginnings to what turned out to be their last ever performance together. Claflin plays Billy Dunne, charismatic but single-minded lead singer of The Six, while Morrone plays Camila Dunne, the photographer and artist married to Billy.

 

They shared their experiences of working together on Daisy Jones & The Six, and explained how they developed their characters’ relationship together. How do they approach something like that, as actors?

 

“Sam and I, we’re kind of partners – when I was struggling and not getting somewhere, and feeling frustrated or tired or like I wasn’t achieving something that I wanted to achieve in the scene, I do feel like Sam was very supportive of me and helped me up,” says Morrone. “That’s just who he is, as a guy.”

 

“You know, it’s hard not to love Cami,” agrees Claflin. “Honestly, playing a character where you have to see something in that person and build chemistry [with them], I feel like it wass just there ingrained in us already because she’s a good person. There’s immediately a trust.”

 

“That’s the easiest part of filming, being with each other,” says Morrone.

 

 

As the band goes from strength to strength, Billy and Camila’s relationship becomes increasingly strained – especially with the addition of new lead singer Daisy Jones (Riley Keough), who forms a tumultuous professional relationship and intense personal connection with Billy.

 

“The hardest part was when we had to be disconnected. Finding that – ‘I don’t like you at the minute’, ‘please take me back’, you know – that was challenging,” says Claflin. “But honestly, it was a blessing I think to have not only Cami, but the whole cast – there was so much chemistry and genuine love for one another that it was, as can be said, I think that [building those relationships] was the easy part really.

 

“Yeah, very communicative, and really supportive of each other,” says Morrone, echoing Claflin’s appreciation for the rest of the Daisy Jones cast. “It’s not just on set for the, you know, six or seven months we were filming – even now, I feel like we would all hold each other up if the other one needed it, show up and just help.”

 

“As an actor, I think you have to be generous and try and adapt for the other person, and there were definitely high stakes moments [on Daisy Jones].”

 

“The one thing I have to say that Cami brought to the table was that she was like, ‘in order to make this a proper relationship, I am going to just touch you, feel you, put my arm around you, kiss you’,” says Claflin, praising Morrone. “We were both willing and wanting to make it be authentic. We weren’t afraid of the other – despite COVID and everything being very, very health and safety – we were very, I don’t know, just very in touch with each other. Literally! But we were very connected in that way, we both saw the relationship the same way. It was very natural.

 

“We had free rein,” agrees Morrone. “We were comfortable around each other.”

 

“There’s a natural evolution,” says Claflin.

 

“Look at us now,” says Morrone.

 

“Look at us now,” he sings back to her.

 

“You’re just trying to plug your song on Spotify!” laughs Morrone.

I loved him on Girls! I think him & Cami would be cute together, him not looking old enough to be her father is also a plus lol

@Coco2020 "trying to flirt" doesn't sound very successful to me LOL I don't think Camis priority right now is another man in her life but focusing on her own career as an actress. Like she said she's moving to NY and excited to try new things like theater and working with new acting coaches.

 

But agree he's hot. He reminds me a lot of Kit Harington actually.

Yeah, she exited from her (supposedly) first serious relationship not so long time ago and currently she's got a lot of work to do. I think she's focused on herself. But I'm not judging this good looking guy at all. Trying is not torture😊

Invite Camila Morrone To Your Next Book Club

She’s Hollywood’s most thoughtful rising actor — and she happens to star in the world’s most buzzed-about book adaptation.

 

Camila Morrone has a confession to make. Just 48 hours before her audition for the TV adaptation of Daisy Jones and the Six, she still had not read the book. With the clock ticking, she turned to a resource beloved by teenagers and bemoaned by English teachers everywhere: SparkNotes. “I thought I would cram like I did in high school and get the main points on the odd chance that the casting director was like, ‘Did you read the book?,’ I could say yes,” Morrone recalls. “Then I accidentally binged the book. I did not come up for air until I finished the whole thing.”

 

Call it the Taylor Jenkins Reid Effect: Once you pick up one of her books, you’re fully absorbed in that world until the very last page, no matter how voracious or passive the reader. “I had not sat down and voluntarily read a book in a very long time,” Morrone continues. “I had kind of a bad relationship with reading because of being forced in school to read books that you didn’t relate to at all. This was the first introduction into a different type of writing and different style of writing that made me fall in love with recreational reading, as nerdy as that sounds.”

 

Over the last several years, Morrone, 25, has made a name for herself on the indie film circuit, starring in cult hits like 2018’s stoner comedy Never Goin’ Back and 2019’s Mickey and the Bear, a drama that currently holds a rare 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Daisy Jones is sure to rocket her into another stratosphere. Morrone stars as Camila Dunne, the wife of Sam Claflin’s Billy, a lead singer of rock band Daisy Jones and the Six whose emotional connection with frontwoman Daisy Jones (Riley Keough) fuels the rise and fall of the band. Camila, who we see age from 18 to her late 40s, is the grounding force of the story, with critics already praising Morrone’s portrayal as the series’ standout performance — even with only three episodes released at press time. A character who in many other stories would be sidelined as a victim of rock-star antics, Morrone brings a quiet fierceness to Reid’s character. On screen, Camila says a lot with her silence; in Morrone’s performance, it is not a passive act, but one that speaks to the character’s security in herself. Watch Morrone’s face and you’ll see every word unsaid.

 

It was Keough’s agent, a good friend of Morrone, who first brought the character to her. “She called me to say, ‘You have to read this book because there’s a character named Camila, coincidentally, who is you.’” She wasn’t the last one to make the connection. “Suki Waterhouse also says I am this character; my mom says it.” Upon diving in, Morrone understood what they were seeing. “It wasn’t a big stretch for me to identify with Camila,” she explains. “In ways, I had to expand my life experiences and take on someone else’s point of view. But I do feel that there is a similar energy between the two of us, a stoic centeredness that I like to think that I also have.”

 

Morrone worked diligently with her acting coach to do the character justice. “I have a hard rule where I will not walk onto a set or an audition or a rehearsal without having thoroughly worked with my acting coach,” she says. “[Camila] has a lot of the qualities that I hope to develop as a young woman stepping into my womanhood. I was very worried about her coming off as a wallflower; where I could, I wanted to add a little bit of spice and kick to her because if not, you’re just watching this girl kind of get trampled by this guy time and time again. … I would love to handle life in the way she does. I can’t say that I have that deep sense of self and belief and faith in life in the way that Camilla does.”

 

Bringing a beloved character to life is no easy feat, but on set, Morrone focused on each day as it came. She’s described the set as “adult summer camp.” She previously met Waterhouse years ago at her 21st birthday, where they became fast friends, but the rest of the band members were new acquaintances. She met Keough for the first time at the chemistry read; Keough and Morrone were the first two cast members booked, and together they helped vet their leading man. “I was absolutely intimidated and terrified of Riley because I think she’s one of the best actresses of my age category. She’s so poised and cool and calm and collected, and I was shaking like a leaf.” Over the course of production, which spanned nearly three years, the entire cast grew incredibly close. “Anyone who sees our dynamic together is like, ‘Oh, you guys actually do like each other,’” she says. “Riley and I have a very deep kind of sister soulful relationship, and Suki and I, we’re inseparable. When the day ends, we jump into bed and we kind of talk and gossip and run down the day. I was an only child, and now it feels like I’ve got these built-in family members and cousins and siblings.”

 

When we speak, it’s the morning before premiere day, and Morrone is trying to process that, in a matter of hours, viewers will be invited into the cast and crew’s “special world.” “I’m in this place where in 24 hours this baby that we’ve all raised from the start and loved and nurtured and thought about and gave everything to, it’s about to be out in the world,” she says. “I’m feeling incredibly good, excited, nervous, vulnerable. I have so many contradicting feelings.”

 

Not that she’s had that much time to think about it — over the past few weeks, the cast has embarked on a global press tour that has taken them from a grand London premiere to the top of the Empire State Building, with many, many TikToks in between, as well as some incredible red carpet looks from Morrone, courtesy of her stylist Sandra Amador. Morrone did her best to mentally prepare; in January, she took time off to focus on her well-being, doing therapy and enjoying her daily routine of being at home. But you can only prepare so much for the mindf*ck of fame.

 

“It’s an interesting job and life and a career,” she says. “There’s so much interim downtime [between projects], then you are thrust into a month’s work of incredibly long and hard days, where you’re ‘on’ at all times, and then you go home and you’re off. There’s this switch that you turn off between your personal life and your professional life. ... I try to find the happy medium.”

 

That involves celebrating the wins, like appearing alongside Tom Cruise on Jimmy Kimmel. “Those are the moments that your inner voice in your head is like, ‘Holy sh*t,’” she admits. “All of these moments where you’re feeling defeated and rejected, that leads you to beautiful moments where you’re on the same couch that Tom Cruise was just on. I don’t often give myself a pat-on-the-back moment, but that was definitely a moment where I was like, ‘Good for you, Cami. This is pretty awesome and pretty epic.’”

 

And as for the down moments, she’s got a brand new hobby to keep her company: reading. She’s planning to binge My Year of Rest and Relaxation on her way home to Los Angeles, but she’s taking recommendations on what to read next. Her only criteria? “I like youthful female characters struggling in a world; I feel very identified in that coming-of-age type of story, because I feel like it’s happening IRL for me,” she explains. Plus, “Since I now love reading, I definitely have my eye on finding the [books] that I think would be a great story and bringing them to someone who has much more experience and talent in that department of developing something off the ground. I think that’s the next stage of my career. Now, I’ve got my eyes open. Every time I read a book I’m like, ‘Could this be an adaptation?’”
