AceShowbiz - Margaret Qualley had a great time playing a dominatrix in "Sanctuary". The 28-year-old actress plays Rebecca in the comedy thriller and particularly had "super fun" when it came to bossing around her co-star Christopher Abbott, who plays her hotel heir lover Hal.
"It was so fun," she added of making the movie when speaking to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column.
In the film, Margaret's character barks orders for Hal to scrub a bathroom, but the actress admitted she'd rather do such tasks herself as she finds cleaning therapeutic. She said, "If I'm feeling out of control, the first thing that gets tended to is my home. I do everything. I organise the closet, color coordinate. But it's not just organizing; it's a sanitary thing. I like a deep scrub."
The "Fosse/Verdon" star has never asked her mother Andie MacDowell for specific career advice but has always looked to the "Four Weddings and a Funeral" actress' example when it comes to how to successfully carve out a Hollywood career.
She said, "It's not necessarily one piece of advice. It's having a mom who is ambitious and loves her career and was wildly successful. That was ingrained in me from a very young age … that the sky's the limit, and I'm eternally grateful."
Meanwhile, Christopher admitted Hal was a "fun character to play" but doesn't think he'd enjoy being bossed around so much in real life. He said, "I would say not." The "Catch-22" star also enjoys cleaning in real life - but "not in a psychotic way."
Margaret recently admitted she would "really love" to land a role in a stage production in New York's Broadway. She told IndieWire, "I love doing [plays], I just have never done it [on Broadway]. I actually would really love to."
