Actress McKenna Grace told Cosmopolitan that she won’t do nude scenes or “very hypersexual things” in her films.

“I respect anybody who can, but it’s terrifying to me. I don’t know if that’ll ever change,” said Ms. Grace, 20.

She added that she doesn’t perform in only wholesome projects, noting her character is gutted by Ghostface in “Scream 7.” She also said her dream is to play a Disney princess someday.

Known for her roles in the CBS sitcom “Young Sheldon” and the romantic drama “Regretting You,” Ms. Grace reflected on growing up on sets and said she enjoys being an adult who can give her opinion, have more ownership over characters and pitch ideas to producers.

In her latest film, “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping,” she plays Maysilee Donner, a fellow District 12 tribute in the Second Quarter Quell, a prequel about Haymitch Abernathy’s origin story.

The film opens in theaters on Nov. 20.
