Actress Carey Mulligan found playing Daisy Buchanan in 'The Great Gatsby' intimidating because her character is so different.
The 27-year-old blonde beauty portrays the wealthy socialite in Baz Luhrmann's big-screen adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's film, reported Contactmusic.
"Daisy always makes the smart girl choices and I just have to side with her but (as a character), she's the biggest departure for me. I've never done a character where it mattered that much what I looked like.
"(The sex appeal) was intimidating. But all Fitzgerald says about her appearance is that she has 'a sad lovely face with bright things in it'. She's the person who makes you feel like you're the only person in the world ... Until she doesn't. But you know Daisy is not a sexual force," she said.
