你可能认识罗丝·伯恩是那个居高临下的伴娘,或者是与格伦·克洛斯针锋相对的戏剧演员,又或者是与演员博比·坎纳瓦尔组成的好莱坞权势夫妻档中的一员。
但在《如果我有腿我会踢你》中,罗丝·伯恩饰演的只是一个濒临崩溃的普通女性。
她的角色生活简直是一场灾难大杂烩:一位工作繁忙的职场妈妈,有一个重病的孩子,由于房屋管道爆裂导致房屋被毁,他们被迫住进了汽车旅馆。就连她的心理医生(由柯南·奥布莱恩饰演)也帮不上什么大忙。

这是一幅展现一个女性被生活逼到极限的肖像,伯恩表示她只需要本色出演这个角色。
她称编剧兼导演玛丽·布隆斯坦的剧本”真的是我从未读过的东西。它非常独特。然后我把剧本给了我的丈夫博比,他一直是我第一个倾诉对象。他说,’哦,她有话要说。你应该弄清楚这是什么。’”
至少还有葡萄酒:罗丝·伯恩在《如果我有腿我会踢你》中饰演一位生活举步维艰的女性。A24
伯恩表示她有种必须出演这部电影的感觉:”哦天哪,从何说起呢?这太不可思议了,这是一份礼物。我怎么可能不演呢?你知道吗?我为什么不演呢?我只是不想搞砸。”
她没有搞砸。伯恩的表演为她赢得了奥斯卡最佳女主角提名。她已经获得了金球奖,对此她由衷感到惊讶:”我很惊讶。我的意思是,哦天哪,在我的类别里有那么多优秀演员,我真的很意外,我的获奖感言很可笑,我完全没有准备。”
玛丽·罗丝·伯恩出生于澳大利亚悉尼郊外,她在1999年犯罪喜剧《双手》中与希斯·莱杰合作的角色让她开始受到广泛关注。好莱坞人士看到了她身上迷人的特质,在莱杰的帮助下,她的事业开始起飞。”希斯非常关键。他会把我介绍给选角导演,让我参与试镜。”她回忆道,”他非常支持我,总是很慷慨。是的,希斯很有精神上的慷慨。他有一栋大房子,我们这些澳大利亚人经常聚在那里。
“我想,当你来自远方,来自澳大利亚,人口非常少的时候,你会紧紧抓住一路上遇到的人,互相帮助。”她说。
21世纪初,她在悉尼的家和好莱坞之间来回奔波。在拜访她的老街区时,她带我们去了Swingers餐厅,那是她以前和乔尔·埃哲顿等朋友常去的地方。

对于苦苦挣扎的演员来说,这家餐厅提供了他们需要的一切:价格低廉,薯条美味。
她说她会想家:”这很有挑战性。而且,你知道,你必须经历一番考验。”
但到2004年,情况开始好转,她开始在《特洛伊》等电影中获得角色,与几乎全裸的布拉德·皮特合作。
电视剧《裂痕》帮助她确立了严肃演员的声誉。但几年后,她做出了一个有意识的决定,转向喜剧,向世界展示她和其他人一样有趣,这就是《伴娘》。
“这真的很愉快,”她说,”我们都相处得很好。这很好。但情况并不总是这样。我相信你采访过很多演员,他们的拍摄经历并不总是和电影的反响一致。对我来说,两者都有。拍摄过程很愉快,然后电影获得了成功。”
她和博比·坎纳瓦尔曾一起出演2015年的喜剧《女间谍》,但伯恩表示,他们的另一个合作——他们的两个孩子——对她的生活和事业产生了一定的改变。
她说她绝对拒绝了更多的事情:”当然。绝对是。不,事情不会成功,或者我不能做。或者一路上犯了错误。总是在犯错。或者我本应该更多地争取这个,或者那个,或者我本应该说’不’,或者我本应该说’是’。我和其他人一样不完美,都在努力弄清楚。”
当被问及当年在Swingers餐厅的罗丝·伯恩会如何看待现在的自己时,她回答道:”我想她会难以置信。这个行业没有什么保证。我非常清楚这一点……也许太清楚了。”
她的下一个计划是今年春天登上百老汇舞台,出演诺埃尔·考沃德的《堕落天使》。但现在,她正处于奥斯卡提名者的兴奋与疲惫之中,真正感到幸福的是能够站在这里。
“我不能对任何事情抱有期望,因为这完全超出了我的控制,”她说,”我能控制的只是在拍摄开始和结束之间所做的事情。我可以把精力放在其他事情上,但那是我喜欢的,也是我最享受的时刻。而且那是属于我的,你知道吗?”

Rose Byrne on playing a woman at the end of her rope in “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”
February 22, 2026 / 10:08 AM EST / CBS News
You might know Rose Byrne as a condescending bridesmaid, or as a dramatic actor going toe-to-toe with Glenn Close, or maybe as half of a Hollywood power couple with actor Bobby Cannavale.
But now, in “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” Rose Byrne is just a woman at the end of her rope.
Her character’s life is a smorgasbord of disaster: a working mom with a demanding job, with a very sick kid, who’s been forced to live in a motel after a plumbing disaster ruined their house. Not even her therapist (played by Conan O’Brien) is much help.

It’s a portrait of a woman stretched to the limits, and Byrne says she just had to play her.
She says the script by writer-director Mary Bronstein was “really like nothing I’d read before. It was very unique. And then I gave it to Bobby, my husband, and he’s always my first sounding board. And he was like, ‘Oh, she’s got something to say. You should find out what this is.’”
At least there is wine: Rose Byrne as a woman whose life is an uphill battle in “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.” A24
Byrne says she had a sense she had to do the film: “Oh gosh, where to begin? It’s incredible, what a gift. Like, how could I not do this, you know? Like, why wouldn’t I do this? I just didn’t wanna mess it up.”
She didn’t mess it up. Byrne’s performance earned her a nomination for the best actress Oscar. She’s already won a Golden Globe, for which she was genuinely surprised: “I was, yeah. I mean, oh my gosh, there’s performances, actresses in my category, I really was very surprised, and my speech was ridiculous and I was, like, totally unprepared.”
Born outside Sydney, Australia, Mary Rose Byrne first got noticed in a big way for her role opposite Heath Ledger in the 1999 crime comedy “Two Hands.” People in Hollywood saw something in her that was captivating, and with the help of Ledger, her career began to take off. “Heath was very instrumental. He would introduce me to casting agents, and get me in on the books,” she said. “Very supportive. Always very generous. Yeah, he had a generosity of spirit, Heath. He had a big house where we all used to congregate, all the Aussies.
“I think when you come from far away, from Australia, and it’s a very small population, you hang onto people you meet along the way, and you help each other out,” she said.
In the early 2000s she shuttled back and forth between home in Sydney and Hollywood. Visiting her old neighborhood, she took us to the diner Swingers, where she’d hang out back in the day with friends like fellow Aussie actor Joel Edgerton.

For starving actors, the place had just what they needed: low prices and great fries.
She said she’d get homesick: “It was intimidating. It was also, like, you have to walk through the fire, you know?”
But by 2004 things were looking up when she started landing roles in movies like “Troy” with a nearly-naked Brad Pitt.
The TV series “Damages” helped establish her reputation as a serious actor. But a few years later, she made a conscious decision to move into comedy and show the world that she could be as funny as anyone, with “Bridesmaids.”
“It was really joyful,” she said. “We all really got along really well. And that’s lovely. And that’s not always the case. I’m sure you’ve had a million actors in this chair of, like, the experience you have doesn’t always reflect how the film’s received or really does. And, for me, it was both. It was a joyful experience shooting it, and then having the success of it.”
She and Bobby Cannavale have appeared together in films like the 2015 comedy “Spy,” but Byrne says their other collaboration, their two children, has been a bit of a game-changer for her life and her career.
She says she has definitely said “no” to more things: “Of course. Absolutely. No, things won’t work out, or I can’t do it. Or made mistakes along the way. Always making mistakes. Or that I should have pushed for this more, or that more, or I should have said, ‘No,’ or I should have said, ‘Yes.’ I’m as imperfect as the next person of trying to figure it out.”
Asked what she thinks the Rose Byrne of the days at Swingers Diner would think of Rose Byrne now, she replied, “I think she wouldn’t be able to believe it. There’s no guarantees in this business. I am firmly aware of that … maybe, too much.”
For her next act she’ll be moving to Broadway this spring to appear in Noel Coward’s “Fallen Angels.” But for now, she’s on the exhilarating and exhausting ride of an Oscar nominee, and truly happy just to be here.
“I can’t have expectations around anything, because it’s so out of my control,” she said. “All I can control is what I did between action and cut. And I can put effort into other stuff, but that’s what I love, and that’s the moment that I love the most. And it’s mine, you know?”
