Rose Byrne thought her If I Had Legs I'd Kick You co-star A$AP Rocky had 'supernatural charm'

Rose Byrne thought A$AP Rocky had “supernatural charm”.

The 46-year-old actress stars in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You as Linda and when she strikes up a friendship with the rapper’s motel superintendent character, Rose can understand why audiences may expect things to turn romantic.

She told Australia’s Marie Claire magazine: “Rocky has such supernatural charm you immediately and understandably think, ‘Oh, this is going to happen,’ but it never falls into that cliché.”

Rose – whose character is the focus of the entire movie – jumped at the chance to take on the role when she read writer-and-director Mary Bronstein’s script.

She said: “When the script came in, I devoured it.

“Mary lit the page on fire. It’s such a visually rich script…

“There was also great humour in the script. Legs is such a tightrope.”
