THE INSIDER: NATALIA TENA

"I remember this kid coming up to me thinking that I was actually a witch!"


Anyone who can shoot a movie (British Comedy You Instead) in four days at a music festival (T in the Park) gets love from us.  But when they're simultaneously fronting their own band (Molotov Jukebox), landing a role in HBO's Game of Thrones, and starring in the Harry Potter films?  We bow down.

You were in rock bands before movies.  How is acting different from singing?  Acting challenges and scares me.  I was doing music from the age of three so singing is as natural as walking, but I need both.

Tell us about your new movie, You Instead?  We filmed the movie You Instead in four and a half days at a festival.  An entire feature!  I've never experienced anything like it.  Exhilarating, exhausting, and epic.  I literally can't look at Red Bull in the same way again.

Do people recognize you as part of the Order of the Phoenix in Harry Potter?  I only have a small part, Nymphadora Tonks, but I remember sitting in a pub in Brighton and this kid coming up to me thinking that I was actually a witch.  Epic!
