Leven Rambin 'Didn't Hold Back' for Percy Jackson Role

Leven Rambin heads out of Chateau Marmont after dinner with friends in Los Angeles on Friday night (August 9).

The 23-year-old actress recently chatted with USA Today about taking on the mean-girl role as Clarisse La Rue in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.

“I was really degrading Percy to his face in one scene, telling him he’s completely incompetent,” she shared. “Finally I stopped and said, ‘Sorry, Logan [Lerman], that I am being so mean.’ And he was like, ‘No, man, it’s great. Punch me in the face if you want to. Whatever it takes.’ So I didn’t hold back.”

Leven added, “Nobody had ever asked me to be strong, mean, intimidating, powerful and a killer. Until you push yourself to that, you just never know you can do it. And more importantly, people believed me. It unearthed something in me.”
