Emma Myers talks about her newfound fame and how she learned to deal with it
In an interview with NME in 2024, budding actress Emma Myers talked about her newfound fame following her appearance on Wednesday, saying:
"The day after the show came out, I started filming a movie and so I wasn’t paying attention to how much it blew up. My mum sat me down and said: ‘You do understand this is life-changing, right? This is huge. You can’t go out without washing your hair and dressing nice again’."
She continued:
"That was a big change because I grew up home-schooled, and not doing anything of this size until all of a sudden, you’re thrown into the public eye. It was such a big overnight change that I didn’t even want to think about it. I avoided Instagram – I felt sick every time I posted something because of how fast people reacted to it."
Myers also shared how celebrities had started messaging her about how much they loved the series, including K-Pop group SEVENTEEN, of whom Myers was a huge fan. She shared how she called her sister, who had initially thought Myers was "lying" about it, so the actress had to send her screenshots to prove it. She also said they were "sweet guys."
Myers also shared her views on the online shipping trend "Wenclair" which went on in the fandom:
“I’ve grown up as a big fan of things, so I know how the shipping goes online, so I understand. Ship who you want as long as you’re not dragging real-life people into it. If you want to ‘ship those characters, go for it. We made a couple of jokes about it here and there when filming, but we didn’t think that side of the fandom would be so big and intense. But it’s all in good fun.”
Following her role in Wednesday, Emma Myers went on to star in the BBC Three adaptation of author Holly Jackson’s young adult whodunnit book series A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. She stars in the show as the overachieving Pip Fitz-Amobi who decides to investigate the murder of a former student of her school for her end-of-sixth-form project.
