In a new interview, Corberó was asked about her interest in action films, since she tends to star in action packed projects that feature heists and all manner of stunts. "I hate action by the way," said Corberó to Pinkvilla. “I am pretty bad at it.”

Despite not enjoying the process of shooting stunts, Corberó revealed that she loved the script of “Lift,” finding that her character was different than the types of roles she’s played in the past. “I prefer comedy but you know they are just pushing me over and over and over again and I am just...I have to say that I have that feeling that I really like the script as well. I remember I read it in one sitting and also I could see a very different character from Tokyo from ‘Money Heist.’"
