How Justice League and Nobody Star Connie Nielsen Broke Out of the “Blonde Bombshell” Stereotype

Connie Nielsen has a lot to celebrate right now with the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League on HBO Max and with Nobody arriving in theaters on March 26th. But Collider Ladies Night also gives us the opportunity to look back on the earliest days of one’s career and how the steps they took paved the way to their most recent achievements. Not only is Nielsen’s filmography loaded with unforgettable titles like Gladiator and Wonder Woman, but her journey in the industry is also a true inspiration packed with passion and drive to get the opportunities that spoke to her most, while contributing to the push to tell more stories about women in the process.
Check out this episode of Collider Ladies Night to hear all about Nielsen's experience working with Al Pacino on The Devil’s Advocate, working on Best Picture winner Gladiator, joining the DC film franchise with Wonder Woman, seeing Zack Snyder finally get the chance to share his cut of Justice League, watching Bob Odenkirk become an action star in Nobody and so much more!

I've been a fan since "Devil's Advocate." She was absolutely regal in "Gladiator." A breathtakingly beautiful movie star. Great interview!

[@LucianoHilton]

Amazing interview. She's awesome!

[@s.joynerii7312]

Love Connie Nielsen!! Beautiful woman! Been a fan since Gladiator!

[@LateNightViddys]

Great interview. Interesting questions and answers. Connie Nielsen had quite a journey to making it in Hollywood. "I didn't start doing this job to be some idiot blonde." After watching just ten minutes of this interview it's obvious she would be very out of character doing so.

This was SO GREAT!! She's such an amazing actor, that I didn't realize that was her in all these movies; I only ever saw the character! As a fan of the escapism aspect of film, I always appreciated an actor that IS that character; and not their persona on screen. And, yet there is her personality shining through as the heart or shadow of each character; it's just amazing!

Connie Nielsen is so smart and lovely person! Loved this interiew

[@gatekeeperboxing5898]

Been a fan since 1995 when I saw her in the Rutger Hauer, Eric Roberts Thriller called Voyage on TV, then Devils Advocate cemented her as a favourite actress. I tried to see everything she has been in since then.
