Amy Adams Says She Loved Acting Like a Dog in Nightbitch: 'Zero F--s to Give'

Amy Adams, a six-time Oscar nominee goes fully feral in her wild new film 'Nightbitch' - and she was here for it

“I was here for it,” Adams tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue of her character in Nightbitch, who seemingly turns into an actual dog as a coping mechanism while grappling with the weight and isolation of new motherhood. The film finds an unraveling Adams sprouting a tail, howling at the night moon and enthusiastically eating from a dog bowl, to the delight of her young son and growing concern of her husband (Scoot McNairy). But Adams — a dog person at heart who has three at home — remained “a pro,” says the director, hitting the deck and covering her head in her hands before going back to try the scene again after the filmmaking team had reworked it.
