Sensory overload… Do not even get me started with all of my streaming obsessions right now. I am 

now writing this letter while catching up on the latest season of “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”... 

only one of my streaming guilty pleasures. 

Anyways, on the cover of this issue we have the star of NBC’s “Manifest” (one of the most popular 

shows on the network). Very talented as well as beautiful, Melissa Roxburgh, chatted with our team 

after her BELLO photo shoot, and you, dear readers, are getting exclusively access to the interview 

and fashion editorial!

done before. BELLO readers will recognize familiar styled features and articles that tell us exactly 

what we want to know. It is only appropriate with this explosion of pop culture, and working with so 

many creative people, we are now exploring their likes in the ever-growing entertainment arena. 

Our previous issue BELLO Style has finally introduced many new talented and creative collaborators, 

and that is what we will be bringing more and more in the future. So...make sure to reach out

I happily binged eight hours of The Act 

on Hulu in preparation for a killer 

interview with Calum Worthy, who was 

absolutely incredible to speak with. I 

used this expertise to choose the best 

streaming picks for this month, in 

addition to using my small, yet finely 

tuned ears to identify the best music 

picks.

Being amongst 

the 

millions of 

die-hard fans 

who tuned into 

the season 8 premiere 

of Game of

relationships, and 

breathtaking storylines

of us 

clamoring at our 

seats in 

anticipation for 

what's to come.

Before I even got the chance to 

speak with her, I watched her in 

action on The Chilling 

Adventures of Sabrina 

performing in her powerful role 

as Madam Satan so I would be 

lying if I said I wasn't a bit 

nervous for the interview. I soon 

learned that the incredibly 

talented Michelle Gomez is 

quite the opposite of the 

character that she plays so I was 

in awe a bit at how she 

transformed herself. 

Despite stating that she doesn't 

believe she is that funny, she is 

actually hilarious and had me 

laughing the entire interview 

while truly amazing me at how 

humble and down to earth, 

she is.

I had the pleasure of speaking with the lovely Melissa 

Roxburgh, star of the hit series Manifest. Roxburgh's bubbly 

demeanor made interviewing her immensely enjoyable and 

writing her cover story for this issue was such an honor!

Picture this: your plane lands after a fairly 

conventional flight, just with a bit more 

turbulence than you are used to. Upon 

arrival, you are told that your plane has been 

missing for five and a half years and all of 

your loved ones believed you were gone 

forever. However, you and everyone else that 

was on your flight haven’t aged a day. This is 

the basis for the NBC series, Manifest, that 

premiered last September. Michaela Stone, 

played by the incredibly talented Melissa 

Roxburgh, is one of the leading roles 

alongside Josh Dallas, that is forced to 

navigate through this unexpected, and 

unexplainable, crisis. I had the pleasure of 

speaking with Melissa about all things 

Manifest, inspiration, and more. 

Roxburgh knew she wanted to act from a 

very early age, noting, “I wanted to get into 

the industry ever since I was young. I was 

that crazy kid who stole my mom’s home 

video camera and forced all of my siblings 

to be in my horrible movies that were about 

absolutely nothing at the end of the day 

but I thought they were genius at the time. 

[My parents] forced me to finish high school 

which I thank them for. It was really a drama 

teacher in grade eleven that encouraged me 

that I could do it as a career. That’s when it 

dawned on me that I loved it and I could be 

good at it. Thankfully, I fell into the lap of this 

acting coach who became one of my best 

friends and she poured encouragement into 

me.” Little did she know that years later she 

would be part of a project as unique as 

Manifest. 

Manifest’s unparalleled narrative and 

character writing is what drew Roxburgh to 

the role of Michaela Stone. “I read the role 

and for me the concept itself was something 

that I hadn’t seen before. It was written in a 

way where it wasn’t so far out of the realm of 

possibility. The way that [Jeff Rake, creator] 

had written it was so grounded in these 

characters that seemed so real with what 

they were going through, the way they spoke 

to each other, and the way they dealt with 

situations.” As for the role of Michaela, 

specifically, “She was not an idea of a strong 

character. In fact, she was pretty much the 

opposite of a strong character but 

underneath all the flaws they wrote into her, 

you can see her trying and I thought that was 

refreshing.” 

Roxburgh’s interest in Michaela’s character 

was heightened when she realized just how 

many similarities they shared. “We’re alike in 

a lot of ways. She was raised in a religious 

household and my dad’s a pastor. I can 

relate to her on that front of not being so sure 

where you stand with your faith, 

especially given all the failure you’ve had 

in your life and feeling pressure from your 

parents to be better.” Roxburgh could even 

relate to Michaela’s sibling dynamic on the 

show saying, “She’s a second child in the 

show and I’m a second child in real life so 

living under your older sibling’s shadow was 

definitely something that hit home for me. I 

liked that she’s a flawed, but trying 

character. I can definitely relate, as we all 

can, to the fact that you keep messing up in 

life but you really are just trying to do better 

and be better.” 

While she has found points of similarity 

between her and Michaela that helped with 

connecting to the role, playing the part has 

had its challenges. “It’s the first time I’ve ever 

13

een a lead on a TV show and so off-camera I’ve 

learned a lot there. The head cast has to uphold 

energy and uphold the integrity of the show to the 

crew and to everyone around them and also take 

care of themselves at the same time. That’s been 

a really exciting challenge for me.” Through these 

challenges, Roxburgh expressed her gratitude 

towards her co-star and on-screen brother, Josh 

Dallas. “Josh Dallas has been through all of [this] 

before. He’s been the best co-star to have because 

he’s really been the older brother that I never had. 

He’s taught me a lot.” 

Being so well versed in the entertainment industry 

by this point in her career, I sought to find out what 

Roxburgh’s advice would be to other aspiring actors 

or, possibly, her younger self. “My advice would be 

to stay innocent. I think that you forget the 

wide-eyed version of yourself that just looks at the 

world very specifically, in a way that’s just wonder 

and excitement and curiosity. I think that you forget 

that part a little bit just with the business side of the 

industry.” 

While her successful career keeps her extremely 

busy, Roxburgh makes sure to take the time to do 

the other things she is passionate about. “I’m from 

Vancouver, Canada and there’s a lot of hikes there. 

I try and find something outdoorsy in whatever city 

I’m in. I love getting up to the peak of somewhere to 

look over a city. It helps me find a little bit of peace. 

I’m a runner as well. I love running. Honestly, with 

working so much, it is nice to just hang out with 

friends and do things like bowling or grabbing 

dinner.” In addition, Roxburgh has ambitious plans 

for the future. “I started to think about what else I 

want outside of Manifest and I’m starting a 

company with my friend so I’m excited to start a 

venture with her. I also work with the IRC 

[International Rescue Committee] and I think this 

year they have a trip coming up that I might be 

joining them on. The way that they run their 

organization is awesome. I’m excited to get more 

integrated into that.” Roxburgh is sure to have a big 

year ahead of her filled with more opportunities and 

projects that we can all be excited to keep an eye 

out for.

SABRINA's 

Written by Rylie Kyhn 

How does an actress who started with a role as a housewife on a 

comedy television show called The Book Group end up playing, 

Madam Satan, a demon that possesses someone else’s body on The Chilling Adventures 

of Sabrina, a horror fiction show? Well, you learn to adapt, become versatile, and you just 

take what you are offered of course! Scottish actress Michelle Gomez always grew up with 

the idea that she wanted to be an actress and has learned so much along the way that allowed 

her to develop into the actress that she is today. 

When you were a young girl, did you 

always know you wanted to be an actress 

or pursue a career in the entertainment 

industry? 

“There is not a time that I can remember 

when I didn’t want to do that. From 

a very early age, I kind of knew that there 

was some kind of power in dressing up 

and shouting for a living and so from age 

five or so I suppose. I just always loved 

dressing up and goofing around and then 

I kind of somehow just made a career out 

of it.” 

And made a career out of it she did. She 

has been in the industry for over 30 years 

and has played so many unique roles. 

Gomez is an incredibly gifted and versatile 

actress but it took hard work and dedication 

and many years, many different 

roles, and many learning opportunities. 

You have played different roles on comedy 

shows, what were those roles like 

compared to your current role, Madam 

Satan on The Chilling Adventures of 

Sabrina? 

“Well you know, the thing is, I never really 

saw myself as being funny or the comedic 

actress so it was always a surprise to 

me that people found me funny. I kind of 

found out along the way that I think it’s 

because I take the characters seriously 

and I’m not going for laughs but I think 

it’s because their circumstances are quite 

funny and because I am kind of invested 

in them and immersed in their reality 

and somehow it ended up being comedic. 

My first role on television was called 

The Book Group and it was written and 

directed by Annie Griffin and again I was 

playing this frustrated housewife named 

Janice and apparently it was quite funny. 

I mean the show was funny but I didn’t 

know that at the time. So I guess you 

could describe my approach, or my career 

as ‘same house, different curtain.’ If 

you know what I mean, itt is the same kind 

of performance, just a different script. Because 

that is basically what most actors 

end up doing. We get hired for the thing 

that we do best, and it turns out that apparently 

I am quite funny.” 

An actress that starred in quite a few 

comedy shows that doesn’t think she’s all 

that funny and admits it? That just shows 

you how humble she is because she is 

so open with readers about who she really 

is. Gomez described that she stars as 

these kind of evil characters but in fact, 

she doesn’t really have a single evil bone 

in her body. Quite ironic right? 

Were you super interested in comedy? 

Did you think you would stay in comedy? 

Or were you open to different opportunities? 

“I really just took jobs. I was just so desperate 

to work. I pretty much would have 

said yes to anything. I kind of found out 

pretty quickly as a child the power of 

comedy. Comedy to me, I compare it to 

the power that musicians have because a 

musician can play their instruments and 

on the first note, change your mood. That 

first note will either raise your spirits or 

take you to a place of darkness. Similarly 

with comedy, you get an immediate 

reaction. If you’re going to try to relate 

to people through a comedic bend and 

someone laughs, you know you’re doing 

something right. So I sort of compare it to 

music in a way. Basically what I am trying 

to say is that with comedy you get an 

immediate reaction. When you are playing 

for a live audience, and you are manipulating 

them or controlling them in a 

way that makes them laugh, and that is a 

powerful tool to wield.” 

What has been your favorite role that 

you have played so far? 

“You know, I fall in love with every character 

I have gotten to play. Mainly because I 

can’t believe I got the job. I am always still 

pinching myself that I managed to book 

the gig, and I’m not kidding. I would say 

probably on Doctor Who when I played 

The Master and with Doctor who I was a 

massive fan as a girl, as a child and growing 

up. So I ended up playing one of the 

most iconic roles in a show that had been 

running for 50 years and that was a pretty 

big deal for me. First of all, because I’m a 

fan, and then it’s like ‘Wait a minute’ only 

men have ever played this role so that

was a big thrill. They also gave me so much 

freedom so I could pretty much play with 

my whole palette of colors and that was 

unusual, and liberating, and magical. So I 

thought once I left Doctor Who, I chose to 

leave after my doctor left when Pals because 

I couldn’t imagine being the master 

to any other doctor. So I kind of thought 

‘aw man’ you know, that’s it. I always think 

I am never going to work again and I always 

think ‘that’s my last job’ and I said 

‘at least I’m going to go out on a high’ you 

know, it can’t get any better than Missy. 

Then of course, Madam Satan came bumbling 

in. So now I am just like, OK, I must 

have done, I don’t know, something right, 

because I am blown away that I get to play 

Madam Satan. It’s just the most ridiculous 

name as well, I love it. I never play anybody 

with normal names. I’ve never played anyone 

named Susan or Allison, I’m always 

The Master, Madam Satan. I love it!!” 

In 2016, Gomez’s role as Missy in Doctor 

Who earned her a nomination for the British 

Academy Television Award (BAFTA) as 

best supporting actress. She played a version 

of The Master on the show from 2014- 

2017 and just listening to her speak about 

it, you could tell she absolutely adored it. 

Madam Satan is a very strong and powerful 

character, what has been the most 

difficult part in playing in that role? 

“I don’t think I can describe my time playing 

her as difficult in any way really because it’s 

just been such a gift. Maybe what would 

be most difficult is to not have as much 

fun as I am having playing her. Sometimes 

I end up getting a bit tight and it doesn’t 

really work for me so my challenge has 

been to try to stay within the parameters 

of the shows tone and make sure I’m not 

bouncing around too much but it’s hard. I 

guess that is difficult, you know respecting 

and remembering what the show is about 

as a whole and not sort of unbalancing it 

in anyway. I want to make sure that I am 

living in the same world and that we are 

connected and I think we have really succeeded 

in doing that. I mean the show is 

called Sabrina and Kiernan Shipka is just a 

phenomenal human being. She has got to 

be one of my most favorite people on this 

planet. She’s number one on the call sheet 

and everything comes from her in terms of 

the pace we work at and totally on set what 

she expects from us. She has such a high 

standard, and it’s all professional. I swear, I 

want to be Kiernan Shipka when I grow up. 

I really do. I sort of, what is it? ‘Fangirling?’ 

(laughs) When I go on set I am kind of fangirling. 

Madam Satan is fangirling about 

Sabrina and everything about that sounds 

a bit wrong but it’s kind of right.” 

When you first found out you were going 

to play in the role of Madam Satan, 

what did you do in order to connect with 

her as a character? 

“Well, you know it’s a pretty tall order trying 

to connect with someone who is a demon 

that possesses someone else’s body. It’s 

kind of like rubbing your head and stroking 

your stomach at the same time it’s like 

ahh! I basically just had to think I can’t get 

in my head too much about this, I can’t 

intellectualize it, I can’t think about it too 

much because if I do, i’ll think myself into a 

pretzel or think myself into knots. So what 

I had to do was I had to be really open. I 

had to make sure I didn’t bring any of my 

preconceived notions about what a demon 

might look like entering someone else’s 

body and really just look at the script, really 

look at it scene by scene and take it from 

there. My costume told me a lot, gave me a 

lot of clues. My character line and where I 

need to get to in each scene gave me some 

clues. Then it was just up to literally being 

prepared, knowing my lines, showing up, 

and handing her over and being willing to 

listen to whoever my acting partner was on 

that day. Normally it would be Kiernan or 

an empty branch because Stolis doesn’t 

really exist.” 

You have taken on so many different roles 

and your acting career has been so 

unique because of them, how has each 

helped you develop into the actress that 

you are today? 

“Each job has made me the actor that I am 

today. Each job is your education, each job 

is your experience, each job is your opportunity 

to make mistakes, learn from them, 

and try to get something next time. That is 

where we learn our craft. So I might be a 

half-decent actress that stands before you 

today but that only happens because I just 

kept at it. This industry is 90% rejection, 

8% luck, and 2% oh here we go again. It’s 

a tricky business to kind of survive in. I am 

thirty years in and that is only because I 

still love it passionately, couldn’t imagine 

doing anything else, wouldn’t want to do 

anything else and I am prepared to take 

knocks along the way and just be filled with 

gratitude that I get to play again and then I 

get paid for it! I’m honestly just blown away 

that I am here talking to you, about me. Ha 

Ha Ha.” 

What is something that fans and viewers 

don’t know about you? 

“Well, I am scottish. Let me think for a second. 

Hm, I don’t know. That’s a hard question. 

I like pink pants. (laughs) I love them! 

No, but just I guess I am playing all these 

troll characters, you know I am in the corner 

of the market to play witches until the 

day I die. It is kind of ironic because I am 

kind of nice and I am kind of a good person, 

I don’t really have an evil bone in my 

body. There I am stroking my moustache 

like ‘ha ha ha’ in the shadows when really 

all I want to do is high kick my way into 

some crazy musical. That would be my 

DREAM! To play Mama Rose in Gypsy on 

stage on Broadway. That would be checking 

every box in my career if I got to play 

that. That is my biggest ambition! Oh my, I 

would ROCK THAT! I need to learn how to 

sing first, but that is just a technicality.” 

For someone who plays the handmaiden 

of the devil on a horror fiction show, Michelle 

Gomez is quite the opposite from 

her character and you figure that out within 

just a few minutes of talking to her. She 

may be a powerful, sort of evil character 

on television but in reality, humble and 

kind-hearted. She does however, make the 

transition to her character, Madam Satan, 

seem effortless which is a skill many will 

never posses.

Streaming 

by Sam Spotswood 

HBO-Chernobyl 

We all know we’ll need a new show to binge-watch after 

the final season of Game of Thrones ends. Consider 

filling that void with HBO’s new miniseries Chernobyl, 

which outlines the worst manmade disasters in 

history. The 1986 nuclear accident devastated Ukraine, 

and this miniseries portrays that disaster in the most 

authentic way possible. The miniseries offers any HBO 

fan’s favorite features, including a compelling story, killer 

acting, and all of the signature theatrical effects needed to 

push the story further. Chernobyl offers something for 

everyone--horror fans, those who love political thrillers, 

war movie buffs, and fans of the courtroom drama. 

Amazon-The Romanoffs 

From the producers of Mad Men comes Amazon’s 

original anthology series, The Romanoffs. Each episode 

showcases a story of a different person from 

around the world who believes to be a descendant of 

the Russian royal family. Boasting the acting talents 

of John Slattery, 

Diane Lane, Ines Melab, Kathryn Hahn, and many 

more, this 

production’s grandiosity with beautiful filming locations 

and intriguing storylines will satisfy anyone’s 

royal fantasies. 

Netflix-On my Block, Season 2 

Audiences are raving about the latest season of Netflix’s 

original 

series On My Block. Following the continued antics of 

South Central’s Monse, Cesar, Ruby, Jamal, and Jasmine, 

audiences will get to 

experience a similar rollercoaster of emotions they felt while 

watching the incredibly successful Season 1. In addition to 

continuing to address more heavy topics, including deportation 

and neighborhood violence, characters like Jamal 

never fail to crack the audience up. You won’t want to miss 

a minute of the laughs and heart-wrenching drama that everyone 

is talking about. 

Hulu-The Act 

Following the true crime wave, The Act on Hulu presents a 

new true-crime story each season. Based on the bizarre 

true story of the murder of Dee Dee Blanchard, a mother 

who suffered from Munchausen by proxy, Season 1 of The 

Act will have you on the edge of your seat. The 

production value sets it apart from other true crime 

stories, particularly thanks to the theatrical performances 

delivered by the star-studded cast including Patricia 

Arquette, Joey King, AnnaSophia Robb, Calum Worthy, 

and Chloe Sevigny. Each cast member slips so 

deeply into character that you’ll forget you’re watching a 

TV show.

GOT Fun Facts 

by Carl Tienabeso 

The weather may be getting warmer, but by the looks of it, WINTER IS STILL COMING. As many people have probably become 

aware by the overflowing content and daily reminders, our favorite medieval fantasy drama is finally back on the screen. 

This past Sunday April 14, after a year long hiatus for what seemed like a grueling eternity, Game of Thrones season 8 finally 

premiered bringing back all of our favorite characters. 

Maybe you consider yourself a loyal fan to the throne or your anxiously waiting to see what the white walkers are really about, 

but one thing we can all admit is that the anticipation has kept our minds racing at what to expect next. 

Here are some of the fun facts to know about the worldwide fandom caused by Game of thrones: 

- Game of Thrones has been filmed in 10 different countries, with some of its iconic scenes being filmed in areas of 

Spain, Croatia, Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Iceland 

-The Main characters Arya and Sansa Stark both make at least 150,000 per episode with their fellow co stars, Tyrian, 

Jamie, Jon Snow, Cersei all making around 500,000. With other additional earnings, each of the main characters can 

make close to 2 million dollars or more in a season! 

-The last season of Game of Thrones has cost the production around 15 million dollars per episode; up from the 5 

million dollars used in the previous seasons. One of the most expensive scenes filmed came in season 6 during the 

“Battle of the B******s”. This battle scene required 55 full days of filming, with a total of 65 stuntmen, 70 horses, with 

cost estimating close to 10 million dollars. 

- Those familiar with Ramsey Bolton, who tormented many of our favorite characters may not have known that he 

was the runner up to Kit Harrington in playing the role of Jon Snow. 

-The premier of Season 8 Episode 1 set the mark for the franchises most watched episode at 17.4 Million people who 

tuned in, up from the season 7 finale that drew in around 16.5 million viewers. 

With each episode set to premiere every sunday and questions that are still left unanswered, the last season of Game 

of Thrones sure looks to be one of for the ages.

SPOTLIGHT 

Q&A with 

Natalie Shaheen 

What inspired you to pursue acting? 

Performance has always been thrilling to 

me, but I can pinpoint the exact moment I 

was inspired to pursue acting. At the EMA 

Awards, James Cameron won for Avatar 

and gave a compelling speech calling 

filmmakers to action and reinforcing the 

importance of storytelling and its impact 

on humanity. He powerfully put into words 

the very thoughts that I had been trying to 

articulate and linked them to art I loved. It 

was like he was speaking right to me. 

INSPIRED from a young age 

to pursue an acting career, Natalie 

Shaheen is embracing the 

new opportunities that seem to 

be coming her way. From her 

earlier appearances in Magic 

Mike XXL and Triple 9, fans 

can now be excited to see her 

appear in larger roles going forward. 

With her upcoming action 

film, Godzilla: King of the 

Monsters set to be released in 

May, Natalie Shaheen is looking 

to branch out and show her 

true colors for the world to see. 

Bello was lucky to get to know 

Natalie a bit more on how Millie 

Bobby Brown was on set, how 

it was to be immersed into the 

Godzilla universe and what the 

future holds for Natalie! Godzilla 

is set to hits theatres nationwide 

on May 31st, 2019. 

What has been the most helpful advice 

you have been given in your acting career? 

My soccer coach used to say “if you don’t 

shoot, you won’t score.” It’s not acting 

advice, but it should be. Acting is a game 

of taking risks and if you don’t put yourself 

out there, you’ll never score. 

Did you know much of the Godzilla 

franchise before getting involved with 

this project? 

I LOVE the Godzilla franchise! I love monsters 

and action and ever since I can remember 

I have loved Godzilla. The director, 

Michael Dougherty, masterfully laced 

the film with Easter Eggs for the enthusiasts. 

I felt like a kid in a candy store on 

set. 

How was it working on a film with 

Bradley Whitford and Millie Bobby 

Brown? If so, what was the interaction? 

Millie is a delight. She is every bit as talented 

and tenderhearted as you would 

imagine. She likes to laugh and works 

very hard. She is an impressive woman. I 

never met Bradley, but I am a fan of his, 

maybe our characters will collide in the 

next one. 

How did it feel working on a popular, 

highly-anticipated Hollywood movie? 

I feel I should say something ultra cool 

and composed here, but I have to be honest 

– I geeked out! I had to pinch myself 

every morning. It was surreal showing up 

to set and getting to step into the world of 

Godzilla every day. It felt like a dream.

MUSIC 


Album Pick: 

Khalid-Free Spirit 

New Discovery: 

Eric Dash 

New Jersey native Eric Dash’s music 

rejects genre-based labels. Dash’s 

music has been featured on some of 

Spotify’s top playlists and has been 

lauded by the likes of 

Kendall Shmidt. His unique, wistful 

vocals blend the sonic folk tradition 

of Paul Simon with pleasing poppy 

production harkening back to the 

early 2000s. In particular, the 

instrumentation and production on 

his latest single, “Sober,” seems to 

draw inspiration from the 2000s hits 

like Coldplay’s “Fix You.” Other 

singles, including “If I Could” have a 

similar vibe, giving Dash a nostalgic 

edge perfect for the millennial 

longing for the aughts. 

One of the biggest breakout stars in the music 

industry’s recent history has released his 

sophomore album, Free Spirit. This album 

offers a more jaded, melancholy vibe than his 

previous albums, which glorified 

adolescence. Though his signature airy sound 

returns, the lyrical content conveys a 

significantly heavier twist that reflects 

Khalid’s maturation not only as an artist but as 

a man. Free Spirit addresses the struggles of 

young adulthood, including mental health and 

drug abuse. Khalid’s smooth, emotive vocals 

blend beautifully with the layered production 

that matches the significantly more personal 

lyrics that seems to contradict the album’s 

title. Khalid’s longing for a free spirit is 

ertainly exuded in the album’s 17 tracks, 

particularly in “Twenty One,” an ode to 

alcoholism among young adults. The 

Texan singer-songwriter even collaborates 

with some of the biggest names in the music 

industry, including John Mayer and SAFE, 

further staking his reputation as a mature 

artist. 

Single Pick: 

Lennon Stella-"BITCH 

(takes one to know one)" 

Branching off from the sister duo Lennon and 

Maisy, Lennon Stella has certainly 

solidified her own distinct sound. The 

19-year-old’s most recent single, “BITCH (takes 

one to know one),” features an infectious, yet 

simple rhythm alongside her breezy 

vocals. The song also showcases a witty 

premise in which a girl turns her boyfriend’s 

insult towards her against him. If that doesn’t 

pique your interest, perhaps the production 

of Rob Knox will; Knox has worked with none 

other than T.I., Logic, and Justin Timberlake, 

and similarly offers his gift for layered, complex 

production to Stella’s track.

conversation 

with 

Calum Worthy 

Photographer Tj Manou @tjmanou 

Stylist Franzy Staedter @styledbyfranzy 

Grooming Mariah Buian @mariahnicolebeauty

AS A DISNEY CHANNEL GRADUATE, CALUM WORTHY HAS EXPERIENCED AN INCREDIBLY 

SUCCESSFUL ACTING CAREER, STARRING IN THE NETFLIX HIT AMERICAN VANDAL AND THE 

EMINEM PRODUCED FILM BODIED. IN HIS NEXT PROJECT, WORTHY FLAUNTS HIS REFINED 

ACTING CHOPS IN PERHAPS HIS DARKEST ROLE YET AS NICK GODEJOHN. THE HULU 

ORIGINAL SERIES THE ACT, SHOWCASES WORTHY’S THEATRICAL APTITUDE ALONGSIDE 

PATRICIA ARQUETTE, JOEY KING, ANNASOPHIA ROBB, AND CHLOE SEVINGY IN THE 

CHILLING, STRANGER-THAN-FICTION STORY OF DEE DEE AND GYPSY ROSE BLANCHARD. 


For Worthy, this part was an incredible 

opportunity, further establishing his 

reputation as a serious actor. This is in 

part due to Worthy’s extensive 

dedication to his role. Worthy prepared 

for months in advance in order to 

perfect his craft, making sure to pay 

respect to everyone influenced by this 

particular murder case. “It was very 

exciting, it was very exciting. I find that 

when I prepare a comedic role or a 

dramatic role, I prepare in the same way. 

I try to find depth and try to find which 

ways the character is complex and find 

the nuances in the character. What was 

interesting with this, though, specifically, 

was that he’s a real person and he’s still 

alive today, and the people that the story 

impacted may see this project. So I felt 

that there was this huge responsibility to 

get it right and to be respectful of all the 

people involved.” 

In the months Worthy spent preparing, 

he did everything he possibly could to 

bring Nick’s complex, unsettling story to 

the silver screen. “It was a very intense 

process trying to play Nick. I spent two 

months leading up to filming of the first 

episode that I was in getting a handle 

on who this complex individual was. I 

wrote a 5 page long--I guess you would 

call it an essay--about Nick based off 

my research. I spent time at a center 

that works with adults who have autism. 

I read 5 books on autism. I knew that I 

wouldn’t be doing the autistic community 

justice unless I exhausted very resource 

for research, so I really 

committed 100% to that research 

process. And once I arrived in Savannah 

to actually start shooting, I just really 

embraced Nick. My hair was dyed, so I 

started to feel more like the character. I 

would eat the foods that he would eat, 

I would walk around like him. I just really 

wanted to make sure I embraced who 

Nick was.” 

Worthy’s preparation and inherent 

acting abilities allowed him to fit 

seamlessly into a star studded cast. 

“I felt like I was in the presence of 

greatness. Patricia and Joey just 

disappeared into their characters, and 

watching them work was like witnessing 

acting at the highest level. It was really 

an incredible experience working 

opposite of them. I feel like in some 

ways, someone asked me once, ‘What 

was it like acting opposite Patricia and 

Joey?’ and I actually feel like I never did 

act opposite Patricia and Joey. I only 

ever worked opposite of Dee Dee and 

Gypsy, because they were that 

convincing and that authentic with their 

characters.” 

Although Worthy and his costars faded 

into their respective characters, he and 

his castmates made sure to alleviate 

some of the pressures that came with 

conveying such a tragic story. “We 

definitely stayed committed to the 

characters and to the storyline when we 

were filming, but as soon as we had a 

lunch break or we finished filming, we 

would be laughing and having fun and 

really trying to give ourselves a break 

from the material. I think if we didn’t 

do that, we may have gone insane. So 

I think in order for us to maintain some 

kind of sanity, I feel like we had to laugh 

and relax with each other at the end of 

the day.” 

In addition to The Act, Worthy gave an 

equally impressive performance 

alongside comedy legends Ed Helms, 

Demi Moore, and Karan Soni (just to 

name a few) in Corporate Animals, 

which premiered at Sundance Film 

Festival in January. “I loved 

working on Corporate Animals. The 

cast was fantastic; it was Demi Moore, 

Ed Helms, Karan Soni. I was working 

with so many actors that I’d seen so 

many times in films and TV shows that 

I felt like I was starstruck every time I 

walked on set. And they’re all comedic 

geniuses too! So whenever there was a 

point where they said, ‘Alright, why don’t 

you guys improvise,’ I was like, ‘Oh my 

God, I get to improvise with some of the 

greatest comedic actors around right 

now!’ So it was very intimidating, but I 

had a blast! Most of the film takes place 

inside of a cave, so that’s a great way 

to start bonding with your cast, is by 

being stuck in one location for about a 

month.” 

Upon being asked what he would tell his 

younger self, Worthy said, “Don’t stress 

out so much and don’t get so down on 

yourself when things don’t work out, 

because those are the building blocks 

to your future. I feel like there’s so many 

disappointments, especially in this 

career when you get rejected nonstop. 

I started acting when I was 9. I faced 

so much rejection at such a young age 

where you’re auditioning constantly and 

you’re trying to get a break. But I’m so 

grateful that I’ve had all of those 

experiences because it helped me 

become, I think, a stronger actor and 

definitely a stronger person.” 

The effects of these formative 

experiences have certainly played out 

not only on screen, but in Worthy’s 

personal life. In addition to acting, 

Worthy’s dedication to excellence in all 

facets of life persists. He is a devoted 

climate change activist, whose advocacy 

has been unwavering since his freshman 

year of high school. “I was first 

inspired to become an activist by my 

teacher in 9th grade. His name is Mark 

Newfeld, and he showed us An Inconvenient 

Truth. And I remember watching 

that movie, and him posing the question 

afterwards saying: ‘This is the greatest 

challenge that your generation is going 

to face (which is climate change). The 

question is what are you going to do 

about it?’ And that question has stuck 

with me to this day. In high school, I was 

very active in the environmental 

movement. As soon as I was able to 

have the luxury of having a fan base and 

having people that actually listen to me 

on social media, and make sure it was 

my priority to encourage them to 

educate themselves on some of these 

causes and to be activists themselves.” 

Be sure to catch Worthy’s riveting 

performance in The Act on Hulu.

JESSICA BELKIN. 

by Carl Tienabeso and Ed Solorzano 

What do you love most about playing 

Leah on “Just Add Magic”? Tell us 

about the show and your role. 

I have played a lot of mean girls in my 

career but Leah has been my favorite! 

Leah starts off as such a sweet character 

you almost don’t want to hate her 

but she starts doing some pretty mean 

things to her friends. She’s the queen 

bee of the girls at school. The best 

part about playing Leah is I get to play 

someone I’m totally not, and then later 

people come up to me and say, “Wow 

you’re so nice in real life! You play mean 

so well!” I like surprising people. The 

show is on Amazon and its about 3 girls 

who have a magic cooking book, but 

every time they use it to cast a spell, 

there comes a price. My character befriends 

one of the girls, Hannah played 

by Aubrey Miller, and ends up bullying 

her and sending the entire school mean 

photos of her. Leah definitely learns her 

lesson in the end. 

You have experience acting in a variety 

of genres. What types of roles are 

your favorite? 

Like I said before I’ve played a lot of 

mean girls but my favorite roles to play 

are in drama/horror projects. I was on 

the 5th season of American Horror Story 

where I played Lady Gaga’s vampire 

daughter. It was such a different role 

and I loved it! I like to play serious roles. 

I love scary mixed with fiction or fantasy. 

Tv shows like, American Horror Story, 

The Haunting of Hill House, Bates 

Motel and Black Mirror are the kind 

of genre I like to play. 

What sorts of roles challenge you the 

most? 

I’ve been acting since I was 5 and over 

the years, I’ve gotten a couple auditions 

where the script literally just doesn’t 

make sense. It’s either about like robots 

or about a kingdom but I just don’t get 

it. It happens to everyone, sometimes 

actors just get scripts they don’t like. 

Those roles are hard to understand and 

figure out but we still go out for them, 

you have to seize every opportunity. 

Any fun stories while you were on set 

of “Just Add Magic”? 

In one of the episodes, you see the 

world through my eyes and in one of 

the scenes I jump into the pool! It was 

so funny, I actually had to jump in! They 

recorded my feet jumping in and then 

my point of you out of the pool. I was 

freezing but it was such a cool experience! 

There was also a baby golden 

retriever when we were filming on location. 

She was so cute, my cast mates 

and I would visit her during lunch. 

Who inspires you? Why? 

My biggest idol in acting would be Natalie 

Portman. I think she’s so talented 

and her career blossomed at such a 

young age, I respect and look up to her 

so much. My all time favorite movie is 

Leon: The Professional, where she was 

12 years old and she played the role 

perfectly. My biggest idol for music and 

fashion is Billie Eilish, I’ve loved her 

music since she was 15 and love everything 

she creates and puts out into the 

world. I think her style is so unique and 

head turning. I love that. 

As you know, Bello is a lifestyle magazine 

that readers use to keep “up to 

date” on all good things LA. What are 

your top 5 favorite things about living 

in LA? 

I was born in LA and I honestly can’t 

see myself living anywhere else unless 

it’s for work. I love Melrose and FairFax, 

I go there to shop and pick out some 

cute outfits. There’s also a lot of graffiti 

and art there to take pictures at. I love 

my family and friends, a lot of my best 

friends have moved away to their home 

towns so I’ve been making a lot of new 

friends and I love the people in LA. 

There’s a lot of great colleges, some of 

my dream ones are UCLA or USC. I’m 

currently in community college and am 

going to transfer to a university when 

I’m 18. 

The weather is usually really nice in LA 

but recently it’s been raining and really 

gloomy these past couple months. I 

think the last thing I love about living in 

LA is being close to all the studios. It’s 

just easy when you’re in the center of 

things. 

Do you have any go-to places in the 

city? 

I love going to Moonlight Roller Way! 

I went roller skating for the first time 

since I was a kid and I loved it! I love 

going with friends and skating to the 

music.

Bello

Bello is also a fashion magazine. 

What are some of your personal 

wardrobe staples? 

I 

wear my Air Force 1 and Jordan 1 

all the time. I always add hair clips 

to my outfits. I always add my 

cropped black puffy jacket, it has 

neon green inside and finally I use 

silver jewelry and chains, and belts 

a lot. 

What are three things you can’t 

live without? 

My heart, Portable charger and 

my phone. 

How do you like to treat yourself 

after a stressful day? 

Literally I eat chocolate. That’s 

how I reward myself. After that I 

go to bed. Knock out. 

What are some of your goals for 

2019? 

I’m actually flying to New York 

this month to film a new movie! 

Its gonna be such a cool experience 

I’m so excited! There’s a lot 

of good people attached to the 

project and I’m so happy to be a 

part of it! It’s a dramatic movie, 

just my specialty haha! I’m also 

gonna start recording music soon, 

making YouTube videos and more 

content for my supporters. I wanna 

start modeling more and doing 

more editorial photoshoots like we 

did!

Throughout the year, there have been many must have accessories. The 80s had colorful Leg warmers, 90s girls rocked the 

choker, the little lap dog became the fad of the 00s but the 2010s brought about the surge of the iPhone case! No longer just 

a protective case, phone covers are an extension of personality and what better place to get one than Velvet Caviar! From 

covers that look like snake skin, to marble covers to white clouds and camouflage be love the protective look VC gives our 

phone. 

2 | Deborah Lippmann 

www.deborahlippmann.com 

Review: Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab Pro is the perfect go-to polish for a quick mani-pedi before a night on the town. This 

product is sure to maintain its flawless shine as you party your cares away. Consider this polish when you need a gel-fix but 

don’t have enough time to meet with a nail technician. Some of our favorite colors: Little Red Corvette, Venus in Furs and 

You Sexy Thing. 

3 | Coco Joy 

www.cocojoy.com 

Walking around the aisles of whole foods there are many varieties of coconut water to choose from but none of them compare 

to the joy that IS CoCo Joy. 

Our offices at Bello were gifted with a box of CoCo Joy, and while we have had coconut water in the past, we were thoroughly 

impressed by the taste and quality of the brand CoCo Joy. 

Delicious, refreshing, no added sugars or preservatives, and never from concentrate! 

4 | Daniel Wellington 

www.danielwellington.com 

With its simplistic and timeless design, Daniel Wellington’s watches will be your favorite for years to come. The interchangeable 

straps creates instant variation to complement your outfit and mood every day. We are in love with the white Classic 

Petite Bondi and the matching bracelet cuff in rose gold which can take any outfit to the next level. 

5 | Kate Sommerville 

www.katesommerville.com 

We love a little golden glow but don’t always find time for the sun and may want to stay away from the harmful rays. Self-tanning 

lotion and other products can be scary because you never know how they will turn out. Kate Somerville’s Self Tanning 

Towelettes can fix that and give dull skin a bright pop because they won’t cause streaks on skin that lotions can’t hide! 

6 | Metallic Pigment Palette by Sephora 


This Metallic Pigment Palette will give any look a major glow up with its six new shades! It works as a three in one as highlight, 

eyeshadow, and blush which is something everyone can agree that they love. The palette has a shade for every skin 

tone and for all different looks! 

7 | The Curly Top Baker 

www.thecurlytopbaker.com 

The perfect holiday sweet comes from The CurlyTop Baker, and the Bello Media Group had the pleasure to try their delicious, 

chunky chocolate chip cookies. Their cookies are a must when you want to indulge your sweet tooth during the holiday season. 

Since the CurlyTop baker donates 20% to feed the homeless, you can treat yourself with a good conscience. 

8 | Aloxxi 

www.aloxxi.com 

We all love that voluminous hair look and wish that it would stay all day. Now, it can! Aloxxi Bombshell Voluminizing Grip Styler 

is perfect for holding any look from ringlet curls to adding texture to your modern ponytail. It has a three hold factor and 

can make any hairstyle look like it came right off the runway!
