Bullz-Eye had a chance to chat with Strahovski about her work with SoBe and how she came to serve as a spokesperson for their new line of beverages featuring Coconut Water, but we also chatted about the end of “Chuck,” what she’s got on her plate in the future, and how she came to team up with CollegeHumor.com for a sometimes funny, sometimes disconcerting parody of three – well, four, actually – notable pop stars
Q: A lot of fans praise you in particular for being able to evoke emotions with just a look. How do you prepare for the big emotional scenes in your work?A: I do a lot thinking about the scene. I figure out exactly how Sarah would feel in the moment. What she would be thinking and what she would be doing, or wanting to do or say, versus what she is unable to do or say in the moment ...
MADE MAN: We assume you work out a lot. What are some fitness turn-offs of yours?YVONNE STRAHOVSKI: I don’t know about other women, but it’s not really my thing when guys are way too beefy. Toned and in shape is good.MM: Any other turn-offs in general?YS: Yes. Men removing hair from their bodies. I’m not into that. I like a man to be a man. Hairy, you know? Maybe if there’s an overload of back hair, it would be acceptable to remove that. But anywhere else, it can stay.MM: What’s your ideal-looking guy? Long hair, beard…?YS: He’s a caveman from prehistoric times. And he has a pet Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Yvonne Strahovski and Teresa Palmer strike a pose as they arrive for the 2012 Annual G’Day USA Los Angeles Black Tie gala on Saturday (January 14) in Hollywood, Calif.
The two actresses were also joined at the event by Ryan Kwanten, who looked dapper in a suit topped with a red velvet bow.
MM: You also speak Polish because your parents moved to Australia from Poland. Would it be cool if a guy said something in Polish?
YS: Yeah, sure. That’s kind of cool. I mean, the flight attendant on my flight from LA to New York was Polish, so we spoke in Polish, so that was kind of cool. I ordered a glass of wine in Polish. He was from the same city that my parents and my whole family are from.
Strahovski: Yeah, the fans have been so great. I am eternally thankful for everything they have done, and I feel really lucky. I think I can speak for the cast when I say we can all go off and whatever we choose to do in our careers we will always have people behind us, and that will be the Chuck fans who were there from the beginning. This show holds a really special place in my heart. I don't know this country without this show in my life. So this is the end of a five-year era for me that not only marks the end of a series, but the end of an era in my personal life where I move to another country and didn't know anybody. And now -- I'm going to cry again. [Laughs] But I can walk away with so much more.
IGN: And lastly, what are you playing in the Frankenstein movie?
Strahovski: Well, I don't know how much I can say about it just yet! I'm working with Aaron Eckhart, which I'm very excited about. I really respect his work. And I'm excited to go back to Melbourne, Australia where it seems I'm always shooting movies. So it'll be two months or more out of my year. Yeah, I've got some cool stuff coming up. My Mother's Curse is coming out in November with Barbara Streisand and Seth Rogen that I did last year. I've got a cool spread coming out in Sports Illustrated. I'm promoting these Sobe's new Lifewater with Coconut Water
"The hardest thing is saying goodbye to everyone, all the highs and lows and all the memories."For the longest time I was thinking that it was going to be hard to say goodbye to the cast and crew but in the last few days it really hit me that I have to say goodbye to Sarah Walker."
As a big 'Mass Effect' fan I know 'Mass Effect 3' is coming back, and I know you voice the character of Miranda. I've talked to Adam Baldwin a little bit in the past about voicing characters for video games, but what was the experience like for you?Well 'Mass Effect 3' is not official yet, so I will neither confirm nor deny your question / comment there. (Laughs.) But I did do 'Mass Effect 2' and that was awesome. Voice stuff is very different because you're sort of in a booth by yourself with no one except the director.They did use my face in 'Mass Effect,' and it looks like me and it sounds like me. It's great to be able to do some voice work in my own native accent as well.
The two-day shoot, which was photographed by Raphael Mazzucco on Isla Morada in the Florida Keys and at the Shore Club in Miami’s South Beach, required that Strahovski sleep overnight in her unique skinsuit. “It got a little messed up, the paint got a little crumbly,” she confessed. “But then the artist went over it the next day to make it look fresh, beautiful and realistic. It really looks like coconuts and palm fronds on my body–it’s crazy!”
In the film, Strahovski plays Anne Frazier, an Australian woman who falls in love with a mercenary named Danny Bryce (Statham). The two meet after Danny retires from his gig as an assassin, but they become separated when he is drawn back to the game to save his mentor Hunter (Robert De Niro) from Middle Eastern captors. As Danny and his team eliminate their targets to secure Hunter’s release, they draw the attention of ex-British special agents and may put their loved ones – including Anne – in harm’s way.
“I had very specific things that I thought [the finale] was going to be, and it turned out to be not what I thought,” Strahovski told TVLine. “There will be a satisfying ending, but it’s almost slightly, slightly tragic.”
Got any other questions for me or @SoBe.......? Fun 
Jason Statham (The Italian Job), Academy Award® nominee Clive Owen (Inside Man) and Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro (Raging Bull) star in Killer Elite, "one of the best action thrillers of the year!" (Richard Roeper) When two of the world's most elite operatives -- Danny, a retired contract killer (Statham), and Hunter, his longtime mentor (De Niro) -- go up against the cunning leader of a secret military society (Owen), their hunt takes them around the globe from Australia to Paris, London, and the Middle East. As the stakes rise along with the body count, Danny and Hunter are soon plunged into an action-packed game of cat-and-mouse where no one is what they seem. Based on a shocking true story, it's an explosive, no-mercy thrill ride where the predator ultimately becomes the prey. Starring: Jason Statham, Clive Owen, Robert De Niro, Dominic Purcell, Aden Young, Yvonne Strahovski, Ben Mendelsohn, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje Directed by: Gary McKendry
“Something very unexpected happens,” she says. “When I read the script, I was really surprised myself. Chuck and Sarah have this great relationship, but I think in these last episodes, you’ll see that they’ll have something taken away from them, and it sort of causes some trouble in a big way.”
