Bug drives Lee mental

Sophie Lee



The Daily Telegraph reports

It’s the new Australian film already generating buzz ahead of its release in cinemas next Thursday thanks to a big-name cast including Toni Collette, Rebecca Gibney and Anthony LaPaglia.

But for fans of Muriel's Wedding it will be another familiar face in Mental that elicits a chuckle when Sophie Lee makes an unexpected cameo appearance.

Having starred alongside Collette as a wronged bride in the black comedy 18 years ago, Lee was at home playing with her three children when she received a call from Muriel's director PJ Hogan offering her the part.

"I couldn't say not to him," she told Saturday Confidential.

"And as he said it was a bit of a Muriel's Wedding reunion."

Although Lee's focus has shifted from performing to writing ­ not to mention caring for her primary-school aged children ­ in recent years, she says the acting bug hasn't died.
