Amber Midthunder on embracing her identity and finding community
Amber Midthunder has a full schedule ahead of her before the release of her action comedy, Novocaine. Her past two weeks have been packed with interviews, photoshoots, and promos. For Timid’s cover, she was given 40 minutes to do a full photo spread, which proved to be easy for the photogenic 27-year-old actress.
Between takes, she takes a whiff from her Thai herbal inhaler “ya dom,” an aromatherapy product used in Thailand to relieve stress and fatigue. Made from natural herbs like eucalyptus and peppermint oil, Midthunder says it’s helped her throughout filming and this press tour.
“I use it all the time,” she says, showing off the bright green tube, made popular by Blackpink’s Lisa, who is also of Thai descent. “I love Lisa. She uses this, too.”
