Alexandra Daddario Shuts Down Critics Calling Her a “Bad Actress”: “I Got an Emmy Nomination”

Alexandra Daddario is setting the record straight that she is “not a bad actress,” despite what some critics might say.
The Mayfair Witches star, who has appeared in dozens of projects throughout her career, was recently asked by Elle magazine to name the “most outrageous rumor you’ve heard about yourself that won’t go away.”
Daddario quickly responded: “That I’m a bad actress.”
Looking straight into the camera, she went on to defend herself and her talents. “I’m not a bad actress,” The White Lotus star explained. “I’ve just done some projects that don’t showcase me in the way that I should be showcased.

In 2022, Daddario scored an Emmy nod for best supporting actress...
