How does playing Joan of Arc measure up to being the love of Hercules life?
Leelee: Well in one I was wearing metal and in the other I was spray-painted gold. [Laughs] They are different kinds of things. Joan of Arc wore 60 pounds of armor, became strong and battling. In this, I was wearing a dress with a light sheen of gold which I guess kind of represented openness, warmth, benevolence and empathy. She (Deianeira) is just a lovely nice kind of girl. One is a young woman and the other [although a young girl] is ageless. Two completely different experiences TeenTelevision: What did you know about the Hercules myth before you took on this role? Leelee: I did not know anything about her particular character, but I always watched the “Hercules” TV series with my little brother. We always had a great time watching it and for some reason always thought that even though this is something so different from that TV series, there was always something nice about “Hercules” because I used to watch it with my little brother and it was a bonding thing for us.
