When Rose Byrne was playing a tormented ’80s aerobics instructor in the Apple TV+ series “Physical” a role that required her to radiate despair while marching it out in leg warmers and a barely there leotard she tried to remember something Susan Sarandon once told her about “Thelma & Louise.”
“She said she was so focused on all the driving she had to do that she didn’t have time to do so much
acting,” Byrne said recently. “It became a lesson in how, with the focus required for a task like driving or, in my case, aerobics it’s impossible to be as self-conscious in our performance. Even in my extremely tight leotard.”
