The Actress Who Plays The Nun Is Not At All Creepy In Real Life

“The Nun,” the latest installment in “The Conjuring” franchise, have killed it at the box office. The reviews are somewhat mixed, but they don’t really matter if the audience was having a good time.

Valak quickly became a horror icon, but her fame is quite accidental. The demonic nun wasn’t even supposed to be a part of “The Conjuring 2,” but her appearance in the supernatural horror film was so effective that she came back in the spin-off that promised to show us where it all started.

Valak easily became everyone’s favorite demonic nun, thanks to the fantastic portrayal of Bonnie Aarons.

Aarons is the same one who originated the role in “The Conjuring 2,” but that’s definitely not the only place you’ve seen the character actor before.

Before “The Nun,” she had already been scaring us for years with roles in horror movies like “I Know Who Killed Me,” “Drag Me To Hell,” “The Conjuring 2” and “Mulholland Drive.”

Aarons has found success in horror films, but she is not limiting herself to that genre. Many remembered her as Baroness Joy von Troken in “The Princess Diaries” and “The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.”

Although Valak looked like she’d been scaring people since ancient times, Aarons is just 39 years old. In fact, she’s not all creepy in real life at all!

Without all the crazy and creepy makeup, the actress is actually stunning. However, because of her unique appearance and nose, she was frequently told that she shouldn’t pursue an acting career.

Of course, it was Aarons’ unique look that eventually won over both David Lynch and James Wan, the two visionary directors casting her to give the rest of us enduring nightmares. Just because she doesn’t fit Hollywood’s perception of beauty, doesn’t mean she’s not gorgeous at all because she is.
