I love men too, don’t get me wrong, but most of my career I’ve been supported by women and gay men and I don’t really see that changing in the near future.įor the gays, I have to ask about being part of Luann’s cabaret. It’s been mostly my experience, I’ve worked a lot with Amy Schumer, it’s the world that I end up in and I really enjoy it. I loved the environment and the warm, wet womb feeling of it all.
What is it like to be on a show produced by and centered around women? I’d look in the mirror and go “good god, who is that?” it gives me a kind of swagger that I don’t normally have.
BRIDGET EVERETT HBO SKIN
When I’m onstage I don’t wear a bra, it’s nice to feel good in your skin and that was essential for Harry. Is it fun to play against what you normally do? In a lot of your work, especially your cabaret work, is very glamorous and Harry is the exact opposite. I like that Harry is the wise one, and that she’s unlikable among a bunch of unlikable people. I want to see the people I know in the world I’m watching, and that’s a large part of my community. Your character is a lesbian, and the show was very intentional about creating a diverse cast. She’s so beautiful, she glistens, but she’s also warm and lovely and a total team player. What was it like working with Jennifer Garner? My dog’s gotta get that organic chicken, it won’t pay for itself. I’m still on the hustle, I still gotta make that money. I guess from now on you won’t be taking roles where you have to shoot outdoors or are you still down? I love looking at it and I want it to stay that way, I just don’t want to sleep in it. The characters we’re playing are all a little bit complicated and maybe not likable all the time, but honestly everybody behind the scenes was fun and we were making the best of being in the great outdoors which is beautiful, and I love looking at it and I hate that our planet is being burned to the ground by our shithole president. It felt like a real adventure, it felt like a camping trip. Jen and the others, they like to do pushups and jumping jacks between. I was running back to my trailer anytime I could.ĭid that environment force you and the cast members to bond in a way you wouldn’t have otherwise?Ībsolutely. You do one scene around a campsite but it can take six hours and when it’s in the hot California sun in the summertime.they’re first world problems but it’s not enjoyable. We were filming on a ranch, it was dusty and hot. I don’t want to sleep on a fucking mat on some rocks and a bear or coyote come and snatch me up in the middle of the night? No thanks. But what i did see in harry was a fun loving, larger than life sweetheart and I identify with that, that was a joy.
Even when I was younger and did sports, I was on the swim team so i could always stay cool. I like to be inside, I like to be on that sectional with my Pomeranian drinking a moderately priced delicious bottle of classic California chardonnay, so being out in the woods and filming when it’s 95 degrees and dusty and sweaty and disgusting, I don’t enjoy that. You strike me as more of an indoor girl and your character is a bit more rustic. OUT caught up with Everett about stripping back her cabaret glamour to brave the California heat, the importance of playing a queer character onscreen and what is was like to film an episode of Real Housewives of New York. When a group of women, led by Jennifer Garner, and their partners descend on a camping ground for birthday celebration, Everett's tough-as-nails Harry attempts to provide them with nuggets of wisdom when she isn't telling them where the outhouse is.

Bridget Everett isn't really an outdoor girl, but she's braving the dusty California desert in HBO's new original series Camping.
