Leila George discusses emotional challenges in filming "Disclaimer" finale reveal

Leila George, who plays the younger version of Cate Blanchett's character in "Disclaimer," discussed the emotional challenges of filming the series finale. The finale reveals a darker truth about her character, shifting from an idealized portrayal to one marked by trauma and violence. In the final episode, it is revealed that the book central to the plot was a fabrication, and George's character was a victim of stalking and assault. This revelation contrasts sharply with earlier depictions of her character as sexually liberated. George noted the difficulty of portraying such intense emotions, stating that actors can physically run out of emotion after long scenes. She emphasized the importance of trust and rapport with co-stars to create a safe environment for filming challenging scenes.
