Orphan 2 Star Says Playing A 9-Year-Old At 24 Was Disturbing
Orphan: First Kill star Isabelle Fuhrman reveals that she was disturbed by her appearance during filming. The actor is best known for her role as Esther in the 2009 psychological horror centering on a couple who adopt the mysterious nine-year-old girl shortly after the loss of their unborn child. Following a chain of frightening incidents, it is eventually revealed that the presumably innocent Esther is actually a 33-year-old woman named Leena with a rare condition that stunted her physical growth, allowing her to pose as a little girl. Upon its release, Orphan received mixed reviews, although Fuhrman's performance drew particular praise, and became a relative commercial success. Over the years, Orphan managed to maintain a large and enthusiastic fanbase, and First Kill was officially announced in 2020, serving as a prequel.
