Mumbai, Dec 23: Actor Amber Heard says it was great to play a complex and nuanced character like Nadine Cross in the latest screen adaptation of author Stephen King s book The Stand .
The series, based on King s 1978 novel of the same name, follows a story of a group of survivors whose lives intersect after a deadly virus destroys most of the world s population.
The destiny of humankind depends on the 108-year-old Mother Abagail (Whoopi Goldberg) and few survivors, who gather in Boulder, US, to fight and establish new social systems.
Heard said her character is using the tools she has to survive in a chaotic world.
“I would like to thank King and his genius in creating characters with real back stories that are complex, interesting and nuanced. Nadine is no more of a seducer than she is a survivor and she’s using the tools that she has to survive in a world,” Heard said in a group interview over Zoom.
“I think a seducer can also be vulnerable. Seduction and vulnerability are not mutually exclusive. I don’t feel as a woman, I have to apologize for one in order to justify the other or vice versa,” Heard said when asked if Nadine is a seducer and fragile woman.
