While it may be hard to believe that such a daring performer like Michelle Williams could be an introvert, the brilliant actor is much more fond of keeping to herself than spilling all the details about her life story to the press. Yet, according to Williams, portraying the role of Marilyn Monroe in 2011 while shooting “My Week With Marilyn” had played a hand in altering her persona.
Because the iconic Hollywood legend was known for being a daring, bold, ultra-confident bombshell, stepping into the role was almost liberating for the usually soft-spoken and reserved Williams. She said of her personality while speaking to Natalie Portman in a Variety “Actors on Actors” session, “I’m very much a shrink and hide kind of person,” so when she got to portray Marilyn, it was quite an exciting transition. While speaking to the Daily Mail, she said of playing the character, “At a certain point, something else does take over. I don’t quite feel myself these days.”
Furthermore, her “Dawson’s Creek” co-star Jensen Ackles says that he had to put in extra effort to get Williams to open up to him. “Michelle Williams wasn’t overly welcoming,” the actor revealed to Us Weekly. “She was more of an introvert. You had to earn her respect a little bit.” Fortunately, Ackles was able to warm up to the starlet over time by getting into the same music as her. Following the initial awkward phase of their relationship, Ackles says that over time they ended up having “wonderful conversations.”
