Moss said hew new show was ‘an analogy for trauma’ and she could really relate to her character’s ‘whole world being turned upside down.’

‘Even the pandemic has made people go through something similar to that,’ the Tony-nominated thespian explained.

‘So I connected with that idea someone who is vulnerable yet strong. I don’t believe vulnerability means you’re not strong.’

Elisabeth also teased what’s in store for her character June Osborne in the fifth season of Hulu’s hit show, The Handmaid’s Tale.

‘Oh my gosh! We are halfway through filming it right now, so it’s very early days for me to sort of encapsulate what it is, but I think that June is obviously dealing with a lot as usual,’ Moss exclaimed.

‘It’s about how do you deal with freedom if it’s handed to you when you wanted it so badly. Is it what you thought it would be? And can she ever come back from her experiences in Gilead?’

The French Dispatch actress is turning the big 4-0 in July, but she is not planning a big blowout birthday bash.

‘I’m definitely not one of those people who gets upset about big birthdays, probably because I’m in a very good place. It’s so weird. I don’t feel like I’m nearly 40, but then I’ve lived such a ton of life I should probably be turning 70,’ Elisabeth told British mag YOU on Sunday.

‘Everyone’s saying, “You’re supposed to have a big thing!” And I cannot imagine anything worse. I’m not a big party person because my entire life is spent around people. I see 150 people every day. There are always meetings, phone calls. For me, the idea of a celebration is to just be alone for three days. That would be the best birthday ever.’
