May I Kill U?: Hayley-Marie Axe Quick Chat

11th January 2013

We spoke to the lovely Hayley-Marie Axe who is in May I Kill U?

Hi Hayley, tell us about May I Kill U.

May I Kill U? Is a dark comedy about two cycle cops; Baz (Kevin Bishop) and Val (me). Baz suffers a blow to the head and as a result he tries to clean up the criminals of London by taking the law into his own hands. He uses social media to tell the world about the good deeds he is doing for society. Val has a soft spot for Baz so she can’t see the wood for the trees.

So who is Val Stone? Any similaralites/differences between you and your character?

In short we are the same but different; there are lots of similarities, for example Val is quite tough on the outside and can hold her own in a man’s world, but underneath she has a softer more vulnerable side which I can relate to.

Did you do any scenes that are not in the movie that you think might be ‘deleted scenes’? What were they?

Yes there was a scene between Baz and Val where Val confesses she is celibate and Baz confesses he is impotent, so wouldn’t you know they make the perfect couple.

Did you have any input in your character, or the script at all?

I had a fair bit of input in my character- although Stuart had quite a clear idea of what he wanted Val to be, he was also very open to my interpretation and we worked well together.

What were the greatest challenges on set?

Curling up in a freezer with frozen peas

Is this your first feature film? What did that mean to you?

Yes this is my first feature film, and I was over the moon to get the part, I loved every minute of it and I hope there will be many more to come.

What do you think the message of the film is?

To always ask politely for permission before you kill

I hear you were in Eastenders? Tell us about that!

I played Kylie, Kylie fancied Robbie (Dean Gaffney), and was in a pantomime the pantomime with him and Derek (Ian Lavender) and Pauline (Wendy Richards). Then Nita came along and stole Robbie’s heart. It was my first job and I really enjoyed it.

So what’s next for you?

There are some exciting projects in the pipeline, so watch this space!

Anything you want to get off your chest right now?

My puppy.

May I Kill U? is in cinemas from today and goes out on DVD Spring 2013.
