Movies.com: Is Lisbeth still in you?
Rapace: When I finished the third movie she was living in me. She was in control. She took over my life for one and a half years. It was brutal. I remember my friends asking me when I was going to come back and how deep was I going to go so I felt like I changed a lot when she was in me. I felt like I was occupied by her.
When I was finished, I remember the last day of the last take, the producers and everybody wanted to celebrate. We had been shooting for a year and we were finally at the end and I just remember needing to go to the restroom. I went in and starting vomiting for like 45 minutes. I couldn’t stop and I’m never sick. I didn’t know what was going on but I just remember telling people to toast without me. It was almost like my body was throwing Lisbeth out of my system. I remember it vividly— like an exorcism, thinking, “I’m done, you need to leave me now.”
