Margaret Qualley channeled Matty Healy’s demeanor for her role as Honey O'Donahue, a confident lesbian detective in the upcoming film Honey, Don't!. Qualley designed her character as powerful, smart, and sexy, in contrast to her own tendency to self-deprecate. The film, directed by Ethan Coen, follows Honey as she investigates strange deaths tied to a cult, alongside police officer MG Falcone. The storyline features themes of queer romance, with Qualley expressing appreciation for her LGBTQ+ fanbase, stating, 'I love the gays, thank you.'
My character is very confident and talkative. She's not a woman of few words. Sometimes I've made myself comfortable by knocking myself down. [Honey] is the opposite of that. She's in her power and smart and sexy.
I don't know why, but for some reason I made my physicality kind of like Matty Healy. I tried to do it like Matty would... got to feel what it would be like to be a guy hitting on a girl.
When asked whether she realised she had a 'big queer fan base', Qualley replied: 'I love the gays, thank you.'
It's a soul-mate kind of love, a dangerous love.
