Note: The article originally came from a Swedish website, which I ran through Google translator. I then did my best to copyedit it, but it's not perfect. 13-year-old Lina Leandersson has received awards in the U.S. for "best breakthrough role," and for "best female leading role." But she has no idea when DD hits her. "Oh, what fun! But it feels really weird," she says.
Nine months have passed since the premiere of the hit movie "Let the Right One In". Although the film has been sold to over 50 countries and has received lots of awards and accolades, life is not very different for Lina Leandersson, one of the protagonists.
She will begin in eighth grade at Gruvrisskolan and dances, studying and socializing with friends at leisure.
But she has a dream to start a theater or film school in high school. "The dream is to support me as an actress and to play different kinds of roles, "she says.
In "Let the Right One In" Lina Leandersson plays Eli, which is a different role. Eli is the vampire, which Lina Leandersson had no idea when she searched the role. She saw on the internet to search for a 12 year old boy or girl who were good at running, so she searched believing that it was "an ordinary film at the cinema."
"I got a shock when they said that Eli was a vampire. But it was just fun, "she says.
And the role seems to suit her. Several scenes were played in three on the night - and she tends to be brisk. "I fall asleep wake up three and eight, so I sleep only five hours. Then I can sleep away a whole day of the week, "she says.
In November last year Lina Leandersson was listed as one of the world's hottest vampires, along with Robert Pattison from the movie "Twilight" and Stephen Moyer from the television series "True Blood".
It was USA Today, the USA's largest newspaper, which examined the phenomenon of vampire movies and felt that the only 13-year old actress was one of the best in the industry.
