Margaret Qualley says it was “so much fun” playing a dominatrix in “Sanctuary”


Margaret Qualley says it was “a lot of fun” playing a dominatrix in her latest film, “Sanctuary.”

“It was a lot of fun,” the actress, 28, told Page Six exclusively at a special screening of the film earlier this week in New York City.

The “Maid” star added that it was also “super fun” to boss around her co-star Christopher Abbott.

In the movie, he had to yell orders at the “Girls” alum to scrub a bathroom.

Qualley shared that she’s not averse to scrubbing her own toilet in real life, as she finds cleaning therapeutic.

“If I feel out of control, the first thing that is attended to is my house,” he explained.

“I do everything. I organize the closet, I coordinate colors. But it’s not just about organizing; it’s a sanitary thing. I like a deep scrub.”

Meanwhile, Abbott told us that she also enjoys cleaning in real life, just “not in a psychotic way.”

The “Catch-22” star also revealed that while playing a man bossed around by a dominatrix was a “fun character to play” on screen, he doesn’t think he would enjoy being ordered around in real life.

“I would say no,” he said.

During another part of our interview, Qualley said that mom Andie MacDowell, best known for “Four Weddings and One Funeral” and “Groundhog Day,” didn’t really give any advice for the latest acting job.

However, he has taught by example over the years.

“It’s not necessarily advice,” divulged the “Fosse/Verdon” star. “It’s having a mother who is ambitious and loves her career and it was tremendously successful. That was ingrained in me from a very young age… that the sky is the limit, and I’m forever grateful.”

This week has been a busy one for Qualley as she was also spotted enjoying lunch with her fiancé Jack Antonoff. The two were joined by Taylor Swift and Matty Healy.

Qualley, who was previously linked to Pete Davidson and Shia LaBeouf, became engaged to the music producer in May of last year.

She decidedly kept quiet when asked if there were any wedding plans. “Just to get married,” she joked to Page Six.
