26!!Kelly Macdonald and her works provide examples of:
27* CreatorBacklash: She regrets doing the nudity in ''Film/{{Trainspotting}}'', and says she won't do explicit {{fanservice}} in films these days.
28* DawsonCasting: Her first role in ''Film/{{Trainspotting}}'' has her playing a fifteen-year-old. She was nineteen at the time. But it's justified as Renton mistakes her for an adult. And obviously she was well into her thirties when voicing the teenage Merida in ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}''.
29* FakeAmerican: Her Texan accent in ''Film/NoCountryForOldMen'' was so convincing that a number of people were surprised to find out she's actually Scottish.
30* FakeBrit: She gives Helena Ravenclaw an English accent in ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows''. Ironic because the source material implies that the character's mother was Scottish.
31* FakeIrish: She played Irish characters in ''Film/{{Intermission}}'', ''Series/BoardwalkEmpire'' and ''Series/TwentyFour''.
32* HideYourPregnancy: Towards the end of the film ''Choke'', she was two months pregnant with her first son.
