“Most people would not be able to step out of their house.” Alicia Vikander said

The actress said that sometimes you go through things in life and if you have an office job, you can step away for a bit. But in her field of work, there are times when she or her colleagues might have gone through something and will have to help make something similar to their trauma. “I can’t understand how they went on to the red carpet afterward.” She further added, “To be met by people asking, ‘How are you doing?’ Given what they had just been through? Most people would not be able to step out of their house.” To go out and face people in times of sadness like these, requires an absurd amount of courage.
