Are you someone who enjoys the physical aspect of making movies like this?
I enjoy it when I’m able to do the stunts. I played rugby at school and am physically quite confident and strong in that department. I’m used to being knocked down, brushing myself off and going for it again. The stunt team on this is amazing. But I do like to do as much as I am allowed to.
Have your movie missions with Tom left you with any special skills that might come in handy in real life?
They have. I’ve learnt martial arts. I know how to drift in a car. So, now every time I give someone a lift, they are like, ‘Oh God, please no! I can also now backflip over a bridge, jump backwards off of a moving train and run uphill in high heels. I’m not sure when those skills might be useful.
Do you prefer working on big blockbuster movies, smaller independent films or theatre?
I love them all. I feel very lucky that I get to do all of it. When I came out of drama school, it was a different time. There was a sense of having to do one or the other and just being happy to be employed. Times have changed. Now you can do big franchises, independent cinema, theatre and television.
