Blue performs alongside Nicole Kidman in the Prime Video series, but when she’s not working, she said, “I genuinely love just sitting somewhere and getting lost in a daydream.”
Sarayu Blue describes Hilary Starr, the affluent professional she plays in the Prime Video series “Expats,” as sharp. Very sharp.
“Hilary is somebody who presents herself in a very pristine manner,” Blue said of her character, who lives with her lawyer husband in Hong Kong. “She has a very specific and controlled way of handling her life. She likes her makeup put together, and her wardrobe is very neutral and tight and sleek.”
“And then what’s really cool about the show is you get to see just how that sharpness starts to fragment and what happens as it falls apart,” she added.
Set in 2014 amid pro-democracy protests in the city, “Expats” focuses on three American women, played by Blue, Ji-young Yoo and Nicole Kidman.
“Before you get into it, you’re sort of like, ‘Oh my god, I’m about to work with Nicole [expletive] Kidman,’” Blue recalled. But she quickly got a grip, as Hilary would have.
“What Nicole really brings to the table is she’s in it with you,” Blue said. “She doesn’t want to create any pomp and circumstance around the actual work.”
