The British actor on ‘Catherine Called Birdy,’ creating feminist stories with lenadunham and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and his upcoming Tom Ripley series.
Well, I had a conversation with Lena what must have been two years ago now, in the middle of the pandemic, and I just loved her immediately. I've always loved her work, but we just hit it off immediately. I just love her spirit and the way she talked about the film. We talked about this character, about how I saw it and about how she saw it, and, yeah, the rest is history.No, I wasn't.
Well, that's it. I think we look at marriage now as [a union of love]. We engage with it almost entirely as that. But for centuries, marriage was a financial arrangement where you try to marry your family into the most financially securefamily as possible. Good parenting, so to speak, was to ensure that your family was going to survive, so the idea of arranged marriages wasn’t necessarily “evil.” It’s not as we might see it now, as this evil, morally dubious thing to do.
Well, Lord Rollo does get a huge redemption moment in the end, in the form of this exciting duel sequence. First off, was it fun to shoot a big fight scene like that?have been fun to shoot it. But we shot that scene in a full 100% thunderstorm. It was horrendous. So muddy. We were shooting it on a hill that felt like a mountain, so we couldn't have had worse weather for that. But we survived it.
Yeah, well, that’s one of the challenges of it: there's no point in making a film that doesn't resonate with audiences now, particularly about this subject matter, which is about subjugating women. But I think you can get a very strong message out through comedy. That's what Lena is the queen of. She’s absolutely able to get her point across, but she does it with such a lightness of touch, and the same can be said about [her approach to] this setting.
It was so comfortable, oh my god! So incredibly comfortable. I actually was very unlucky. During filming, I fell down the stairs and broke my foot, so I was very lucky to be wearing those silk pajama-type clothes because it meant that I wasn't trussed up in tight jeans or anything like that. chemistry. But we needed to have a very strong chemistry ourselves [as father and daughter], and it was so easy to have it with her. She's wonderful. I think we’re all just there to support her, really. She's done an amazing job. I think audiences are going to really love her in it.
