OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Mara has warned viewers they will “feel uncomfortable” watching ‘A Teacher’.
The 37-year-old actress has opened up about the new FX drama – which follows a high school teacher who has a sexual relationship with 17-year-old student Eric (Nick Robinson) – and she admitted the show isn’t a “super-easy watch”.
She told The Wrap: “Some people are definitely going to feel uncomfortable watching the show…
“[It] wasn’t something that we made thinking that it would be a super-easy watch. Comfortable is not the word we were going for.”
Kate explained she is drawn to watching programmes which put her on edge, noting ‘The Sopranos’ as an example of something she loved despite the gruesome side.
She added: “I would say that shows that I am most attracted to and wowed by are shows that make me a little uncomfortable, or very uncomfortable.
“Watching ‘The Sopranos’ was not necessarily comfortable for me because there’s so much murder and all of those kind of things.
“So to me as an actor, and as a viewer, that’s not something that scares me, you know what I’m saying? But it’s not a story that we were looking to tell to make people feel cozy.
“It’s an important story to tell in order to begin the conversation about how common this type of sexual assault has become. So that was more of the goal.”
Kate recently revealed how she and her 25-year-old co-star would chat about their characters before filming the awkward scenes.
She said: “We had a couple of weeks of rehearsal where we were able to discuss our characters’ dynamic and make sure everyone was on the same page with the difficult scenes we were going to shoot.
“I always felt very at ease with Nick and very trusting of him, which made the emotional scenes easier to deal with.”
The former ‘House of Cards’ star also explained how she and Nick used humour to get through the love scenes.
Kate revealed: “We laughed our way through a lot of the uncomfortable scenes which made things more manageable.”
