Photo: Rasaan Wyzard In Atlanta, Zazie Beetz is beloved for her groundedness — she keeps it all together, her future planned out. But in real life, Zazie is looking for room to do more. To feel more. To be vulnerable, to give in to uncertainty.

Zazie: It is so nice. I don’t know if you feel this way, but the more I’ve leaned into the fear, because acting is always — honestly, it’s quite terrifying for me and it’s this balance of pain and the ecstasy of creativity. I have a friend who once told me as long as it’s 51 percent curiosity, then you’re good. And I really do feel like the older I get, and particularly in the last year after turning 30, there’s this mental shift that happens. I’ve just felt so much lighter and more confident.
Zazie: All of these things unfold over time. Even on our press tour this time around, we all grew up a bit in terms of literally people having children, people experiencing loss and deep loss of parents and close family. Of course, it was still in the middle of the pandemic. We were very isolated because we were all in Europe and we couldn’t bring our partners or any of our family members with us. We really only had each other, and we really leaned into each other.

Did anything change this season in the process of making and developing Van and incorporating parts of yourself into the role? Europe has had a different relationship with race just because of the history and the difference between slavery and colonialism and what that is. The Black community in the U.S. has been a lot more like, “We are talking about this.” I actually think a lot of the events of 2020 have begun to introduce more and more conversations in France or in the U.K. around Black identity. They’re starting to sort of reckoning with it now.
Taylour: It’s so powerful, though, seeing someone like you on television. Kids get to see that and go, Oh, I actually want to wear my hair like her, I want to leave it alone. Taylour: I think it’s associated with the privilege of ease. To be able to just wake up and go. And I know for me, I grew up with a Black mother who is Creole, and I think that colonialism and white supremacy have done a number on everyone’s consciousness. I remember my southern family being like, “Oh yeah, she has wash-and-go hair” and that was regarded as better. If you’re lighter, your hair is wash and go.
Zazie: It is very hard to inject vulnerability, and it’s something I’m trying to get away from in terms of playing women that are grounded and Earth-like. In my own life, internally, there is turmoil and there is a lot that also doesn’t feel grounded — that’s the energy I must put into the world.
Photo: Rasaan Wyzard It’s either that, or you have to protect it. I have also dealt with deep anxiety that has crippled me at times, where I cannot work, I cannot function because I’m just so consumed. And my motto in those moments has always been to represent calm for myself and for others. In times when I’ve wanted the warm blanket of somebody’s embrace or kindness, I want to be that for other people.
