Lily James wants to shed her 'Cinderella' image

Actress Lily James loved the experience of portraying 'Cinderella' in the live action version of the Disney film, but now wants to shed that image. In an interview, the actress said that she wants to shed the image of herself as a 'blonde, sweet thing', because it is 'so not her', as reported. She admitted that she is "actively seeking" different characters as she looks forward to turning 30 in April.

James said: "Cinderella was a gift, and I will treasure it for the rest of my life. But I wore a dress for the 'Mamma Mia!' premiere that was blue and white, and when I got out on the red carpet, all anyone said was 'Oh it's Cinderella!'"It's a happy association, but also something that you want to shed at some point."
