Brie Larson Thinks of Herself as a Big Joke

While Larson has been part of the MCU since 2019 through the film Captain Marvel, she candidly admitted that she does not have much to share with the younger generation. She jokingly said, “I feel like the big joke is always that you’re being schooled by people younger than you.”

She continued, “So I’m sure there are ways that I’ve been able to be of service to her, but also at the same time, she teaches me so much every single day. I’m just grateful for her friendship.”

Vellani thinks otherwise, as Larson was nothing but accommodating to the young star. In Vellani’s interview with Variety last year, she revealed that Larson was super helpful to her. Pertaining to Larson, she said, “She was the sweetest. I was really shy and I felt like everything I wanted to ask would have been stupid, but she didn’t make me feel like that.”

She continued, “She has such a warm presence and made our Zoom call intimate, telling me all about her experience. She was like, ‘Seriously, if your mom needs to talk to my mom, we can make that happen. Anything you need.’ Any time I had any issue on set, I would text her and she’d make herself so available to answer my questions, as silly or small as they were.”
