Bella Heathcote, too, described Leila Williams as a grief-stricken and heartbroken girl that makes her do everything she does in "Fifty Shades Darker."
"And if you're already not in a good place, to begin with, it sends you off the deep end. I think we can all relate to that feeling of grief and heartbreak, so I just tapped into that and went for it," the American actress went on.
According to Australia Network News, Bella Heathcote revealed that "Fifty Shades Darker" director Jame Foley gave her a hand to give justice to her role as Leila Williams.
Hence, Bella Heathcote tried her best to put her own shoes on Leila Williams's character to perfectly portray her role in "Fifty Shades Darker."
Meanwhile, Bella Heathcote's role as Leila Williams in "Fifty Shades Darker" will be the submissive former girlfriend of Christian Grey, Melty reported.
It is the first time that Bella Heathcote's character will appear in the "Fifty Shades" trilogy written by E.L. James.
Bella Heathcote elaborated that although Leila Williams had a troubled relationship with Christian Grey and knew that he has a new life with Anastasia Steele; she's still missing her ex-boyfriend and hurt with his new romance.
This will all result in a possible face-off of Anastasia Steele and Leila Williams in "Fifty Shades Darker" and a row with Christian Grey.
