Abbie Cornish and Kal Penn discussed their new film «Trust Me, I’m a Doctor», - which explores the final days of Anna Nicole Smith, culminating in her death from an accidental drug overdose in 2007. Cornish plays the role of Anna Nicole, whose life was filled with scandals, strange romances, and drug problems.
Cornish noted that despite all the difficulties, she felt that «her heart and soul were good». Speaking about preparing for the role, the actress admitted that she was unsure how she would handle the task but was ready for the challenge.
Kal Penn plays Anna Nicole’s personal doctor, Dr. Sandip Kapoor. The film is based on his memoirs and the trial in which he was acquitted of charges of illegally prescribing painkillers for Smith. Penn praised Cornish’s performance, stating that she is «an incredible actress», - and added that they do not have many scenes together, as the film primarily focuses on Kapoor’s story.
Penn also shared his perspective on the relationship between Anna and Kapoor, emphasizing that the doctor was drawn to her personality and aura. He noted that he did not conduct much research on the real Anna, as his character did not know about her until the beginning of their relationship. However, Penn acknowledged that this relationship became problematic, as his character, despite his desire for privacy, often made decisions that attracted attention to him.
