Carrie-Anne Moss, known for her roles in The Matrix movies, Marvel TV shows, and now Star Wars: The Acolyte, recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Moss plays Jedi Master Indara in the highly anticipated Star Wars series, which premieres on Disney Plus. During the interview, Moss shared her experience shooting the show and her nerves about appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Moss mentioned that she is currently shooting a show with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was supportive of her appearance on the talk show. She admitted to feeling nervous and expressed how Schwarzenegger loves coming on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The conversation then shifted to the fight scenes in The Acolyte, which Moss described as challenging. Despite having a background in action films like The Matrix, Moss had only three weeks to learn the fight choreography for the Star Wars series. However, she eventually managed to master the action sequences, which impressed Kimmel.
In terms of secrecy, Moss revealed that the level of confidentiality surrounding The Acolyte was remarkable. The cast and crew had to cover their costumes when walking on set to avoid any leaks or unauthorized photos. Moss humorously shared how she often forgot to cover up and would be chased by someone with a robe to help maintain the secrecy. As someone who enjoyed watching Star Wars as a child, Moss admitted that her husband and children were more knowledgeable about the franchise. She relied on their insights to catch up on the Star Wars universe.
Interestingly, Moss mentioned that her husband saw her potential in being a part of a talk show before she did. While watching one of the shows, he remarked that she should be on one. Coincidentally, a week later, Moss received an offer to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live, making her husband’s wish come true.
During the interview, it was revealed that Moss started her acting career in Vancouver, Canada, but initially moved to Spain to pursue modeling. It was there that she landed her first American show, Dark Justice. Reflecting on her early days in the industry, Moss admitted to being a novice actor who had to learn on the job. She mentioned her experience on the infamous Baywatch show, laughing at the silliness of it but also acknowledging the excitement she felt when she first got the role.
In the end, Moss’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live showcased her journey as an actress and her excitement for her new role in Star Wars: The Acolyte. Fans can catch Moss as Jedi Master Indara when the series premieres on Disney Plus.
