Don't call Brie Larson the new 'It Girl'
Brie Larson is having a good year. A very good year. She had a scene-stealing turn in Amy Schumer's summer comedy Trainwreck, and she's been on the top of everyone's Oscar nomination prediction lists after her turn as a captive mother in the powerful Room.
But none of that means you should call her an "It Girl."
When the star stopped by CBS Sunday Morning this weekend, interviewer Tracy Smith gave her the title, which Larson good-spiritedly rejected. She asked, "What is ‘it’?" “I guess it means the girl of the moment," Smith replied, to which Larson had this response:
“But what is “it’? There is no ‘it’!” she said. “And who was ‘it’ before ‘it’? And when does ‘it’ go away? When did I get ‘it’? Who’s gonna take ‘it’? It’s so weird. I think it’s a really funny term. I’m just a person. I’m not anything!”
Well said, (definitely not "It") girl.
