How Sandra Oh Manages the Demands of Playing Eve

Let me tell you something about Sandra Oh. While the incredible performances she's delivered on Killing Eve have earned her countless accolades, including a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award, the journey hasn't always been a walk in the park. In a candid conversation with The Daily Telegraph, Sandra opened up about the challenges of portraying such a complex character and the toll it can take on her emotionally and physically.

Now, imagine this: You're Sandra Oh, standing on a set that's bustling with activity, surrounded by the chaos and intensity of filming some of the most graphic scenes on television. It's not easy, right? "It’s definitely tough," Sandra confessed to the publication. "I spend a lot of time in the garden, a lot of time walking as much as possible." She went on to explain, "Shooting in London, which is a city that never sleeps, makes it difficult to unwind. But there are these hidden gems of greenery, and I try to immerse myself in nature as much as I can." Sounds like she's found her own little piece of tranquility amidst the madness.

"I also do a lot of bodywork, and that is essential because you have to move that stuff out," she emphasized. Clearly, the actress is committed to taking care of herself, both inside and out, to ensure she can continue delivering the stellar performances we've all come to expect.
