Peacock.“It’s the apocalypse – please don’t put lip gloss on me!” Beatriz, 42, told The Post. “I struggle when I watch television [set in a dystopia] and the world is on fire and everything is awful, and you’ve got an actress coming in and her hair is perfectly waved, and her skin looks gorgeous,” she said. “Especially as a new mom shooting it — I was like, ‘F–k it. Slap on some black eyeliner.
I don’t want to sit in the hair trailer. You can comb it, but that’s it!’ “I was really determined not to look beautiful,” she said.“Twisted Metal,” co-starring Anthony Mackie (“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”), is based on a popular PlayStation game of the same name. It premieres July 27 and is helmed by Michael Jonathan Smith (“Cobra Kai”) and executive- produced by “Deadpool” writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. The series is set in a futuristic wasteland — but unlike HBO’s Emmy nominated “The Last Of Us,” it’s a comedy.
“I just really love their humor. Anyone who has seen ‘Deadpool’ knows that [Reese and Wernick] do that gallows style of humor so well,” Beatriz said. “Reading the scripts … I couldn’t believe what I was reading.
It was hitting all the notes for me.“It was so funny, so dark, so extreme, so unhinged. I wanted to be part of it so badly.”The plot follows John Doe (Mackie), a chatty milkman who is tasked with a mission to transport a mysterious package across dangerous terrain. Soon, he teams up with Quiet (Beatriz), a car thief. “During the audition, you could tell that Anthony and I were going to have the chemistry that was needed.
