‘Get Out’ Star Allison Williams on Why She Even Changed Her Eye Color for Twisty Hit Movie

[...] the “Girls” actress went to extreme measures — even changing her eye color — to distance herself from the character in Jordan Peele’s directorial debut.

That’s because — last chance before spoilers are dropped! — Williams actually played dual roles as the sweet Rose and her evil counterpart, “RoRo,” the daughter of seemingly kindhearted parents (Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener) who turn out to have a far darker, undeniably racist side.

Overall, the shoot wound up taking its toll on the actress, who recently wrapped the sixth and last season of HBO’s “Girls.”

“Get Out” has been praised as a horror film that offers pointed social commentary, and Williams believes that the movie speaks to the world we live in today.

“The idea that most horrible movies open with a vulnerable young female white teenager who is about to be victimized by some scary whatever is now a black guy walking alone in suburban neighborhood,” she said.

“Get Out” held a Rotten Tomatoes score of 100 percent with 147 fresh reviews, until one critic posted a negative review which brought the score down to 99 percent.
