Brie Larson Talks Working with Kaitlyn Dever in 'Short Term 12'

Brie Larson braves the freezing temperatures as she leaves the NBC Studios on Monday (January 6) in New York City.

The 24-year-old actress recently opened up about working with Kaitlyn Dever in their critically-acclaimed film Short Term 12.

“The only time I had was a few minutes with each kid where I was given the time to ask if they had created any backstory that Grace would know about,” Brie told the Huffington Post. “Every kid was encouraged to keep their characters secrets to themselves but if there was something that would have realistically been in their ‘file’ it was important that I knew it. That informed how Grace spoke to each kid and what her expectations were for them.”

In case you didn’t know, Brie also starred in The Spectacular Now with Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley.
