Natasha Rothwell is a powerhouse in the world of comedy, acting, and writing. Best known for her breakout role as Kelli in HBOโ€™s critically acclaimed series โ€œInsecure,โ€ Rothwell has consistently showcased her unique ability to blend humor with poignant social commentary. Having earned a sterling reputation in Hollywood, she is now making waves with her latest projects, including her starring role in Huluโ€™s โ€œHow to Die Alone.โ€

Not only is she a talented actress, but Natasha Rothwell is also a fearless advocate for authenticity and representation in media. In a recent cover article with Hello Beautiful, she candidly shares her thoughts on success, self-acceptance, and the importance of storytelling.

In her interview with Hello Beautiful, Rothwell discussed various aspects of her life and career. When asked about what drives her passion for acting, she replied, I would always do little plays,โ€ she says. โ€œBut I also grew up with a super strict family, so the characters I played let me be and do and say those things that I wasnโ€™t allowed to do at home.โ€ This sentiment resonates with many of her fans who appreciate her ability to bring complex, relatable characters to life.

Another insightful question posed to Rothwell was about her journey in the entertainment industry. She responded, โ€œ..for a long time, I was this needless wonder and who really didnโ€™t express myself authentically for fear of rejection โ€ฆ.ย  I valued other peopleโ€™s opinions, preferences, and comfort and needs over mine.ย  So yeah, I was not always this open. I consider authenticity a practice. And some days, Iโ€™m really good at it, and some days Iโ€™m not, but I am committed to doing the work.โ€ Her journey serves as an inspiration, particularly to aspiring actors and writers who may feel discouraged by the challenges within the industry.

Transitioning to her role in โ€œHow to Die Alone,โ€ Rothwell elaborated on the showโ€™s premise. โ€œItโ€™s a dark comedy about love, loss, and the messiness of life,โ€ she explained. โ€œIt was very deliberate choice to allow the character to experience the full spectrum of emotion,โ€ says Rothwell.ย  โ€œAnd not just be funny and flat or a caricature. I wanted to write a fully fleshed-out, real, 10-toes-down character. And when I put pen to paper, I was honestly writing my dream role.โ€

Rothwell also touched on the portrayal of mental health in โ€œHow to Die Alone.โ€ โ€œI take my mental health very seriously. I have social anxiety. And Iโ€™m a little neurospicy. And so even as an adult, learning about myself and understanding myself as anย adult with ADHDย was a huge revelation. And that knowledge is not only power, but it allowed me to give myself grace in how I show up in the world and not apologize for it.โ€,โ€ she remarked. This approach has garnered praise from fans who find comfort in seeing their struggles depicted on screen.

The discussion shifted to plus size representation in Hollywood, a topic Rothwell is very passionate about. โ€œThere was a time in my life that I had really bad cramping in my [shoulders] because I would fold myself on subway. Because I didnโ€™t want to take up space. I felt like I was an inconvenience.ย  The consequence of not allowing yourself to take up space is physical. Itโ€™s actual physical pain.โ€ Her dedication to making the industry more inclusive is evident, and itโ€™s something many in the audience share. She admits it took time to audition fuller versions of herself over the years and feel like, โ€œNo, this is my body. It takes up space. Iโ€™m not going to apologize for it.โ€

When asked how she feels about the success of โ€œHow to Die Aloneโ€œ, Rothwell reflected deeply. โ€œIt just feels surreal,โ€ she says of the showโ€™s warm reception from audiences and critics alike. โ€œYou make something. You do it for yourself. You hope people like it, and the response has been just overwhelmingly positive and itโ€™s justโ€ฆ โ€œ. With her humor and dedication to authenticity, Rothwell continues to inspire not just through her screen presence, but through her words and actions off-screen as well.
