‘Apple Cider Vinegar’ Stars Kaitlyn Dever and Alycia Debnam-Carey on Belle Gibson’s ‘Captivating’ Cancer Scam and How Dever Nailed That Australian Accent


'Apple Cider Vinegar' stars Kaitlyn Dever and Alycia Debnam-Carey on welllness influencer Belle Gibson's cancer scam, Dever's role on 'The Last of Us.'

Stories about American scammers have proliferated the true-crime genre in recent years — Amanda Seyfried won an Emmy for portraying Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu’s “The Dropout,” Julia Garner played Anna Delvey in Netflix’s “Inventing Anna,” and Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway starred as Adam and Rebekah Neumann in Apple TV+’s “WeCrashed.” Now, a new Netflix miniseries from Down Under is looking to export a story that once dominated Australian pop culture in the 2010s to the rest of the world. “Fear the Walking Dead” star Alycia Debnam-Carey plays Gibson’s idol-turned-nemesis Milla Blake — a fictional character inspired by Jess Ainscough, the first Australian alternative medicine influencer or so-called “wellness warrior,” who died of her untreated cancer at the age of 29. Now that you have had some time and distance away from that show, how do you feel now about the intense love and devotion that viewers felt for “Clexa” and the backlash surrounding the end of that same-sex relationship?
