The shape I'm in: Clelia Murphy, actress

FAIR City’s Clelia Murphy may not be prone to tears in real life but she knows what it takes to make her cry on screen.

“If you watch people who are crying they are all the time trying to stop themselves from crying. I have to go to a very dark place to bring an honest emotion to it,” she says.

“I’d have to get myself upset and then apply it to the scene. You do have to put your finger where it hurts. I only have to think of my grandma and my granddad and I’m bawling.”
