Zoë Kravitz Reveals Why She Felt 'Uncomfortable' While Filming 'Big Little Lies'

Zoë Kravitz, who starred in the "Big Little Lies" TV series from 2017 to 2019, has revealed she felt "uncomfortable" while working on the series because the location where they filmed was such a "white area."

"There were a few moments where I felt a little uncomfortable because it is such a white area," Kravitz told The Guardian Sunday. "Just weird, racist people in bars and things like that."

The 33-year-old actress also shared that the role — Bonnie Carlson — she played in the hit HBO series was originally penned for a white person.

Adapted from Liane Moriarty's 2014 novel of the same title, "Big Little Lies" featured Kravitz alongside Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Meryl Streep, Laura Dern and Shailene Woodley. It was helmed by directors Jean-Marc Vallée and Andrea Arnold.

During the interview with The Guardian, Kravitz also opened up about her audition for the movie "The Dark Knight Rises," which came out in 2012. According to the actress, she was rejected because of her skin color.

"Being a woman of color and being an actor and being told at that time that I wasn't able to read because of the color of my skin, and the word urban being thrown around like that, that was what was really hard about that moment," Kravitz recalled.

The actress went on to say she wasn't sure if the word "urban" was thrown around because of director Christopher Nolan or if it was due to some casting director or casting director's assistant.

Kravitz didn't reveal if she auditioned for Catwoman's character at the time. However, she landed that particular role in the new "The Batman" movie, which was released on March 4.

"The Batman" earned $128 million at the box office over the weekend, marking the best opening weekend of 2022, according to Variety. The flick stars Robert Pattinson as the titular character and was helmed by director Matt Reeves.

Besides "The Batman," Kravitz also appeared in the crime thriller movie "Kimi," which premiered on Feb. 10. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the film also featured Erika Christensen, Rita Wilson, Devin Ratray and Robin Givens.
