Swide Magazine by Dolce&Gabbana

‘Like Crazy’ is finally hitting cinema screens this week and the film’s stars have been a whistle stop tour of press. Swide favourite, Felicity Jones sat down alongside co-star Anton Yelchin and director Drake Doremus with Popsugar to discuss improvisation and long-distance love.

‘Like Crazy’ has been getting critics and film lovers all over the world all flustered with anticipation for it’s international release. The movie’s debut at this year’s Sundance Film Festival was one of the event’s surprise pleasures; with its themes of love, heartache and intense passion constructed almost entirely from improvisation, it stole the hearts of those who watched it and is set to do the same globally.

In the Swide office we have become rather infatuated with Felicity Jones and we thought that our rising tide of love was slowly ebbing away to a more realistic level but Oh how we were wrong. We found this clip of her being interviewed for Popsugar and, not only was she looking perfectly pretty in Dolce&Gabbana, she bowled us over with her honest answers and British accent (highlighted by the company of the three American voices). When I was younger I dabbled in the world of theatre and improvising has its difficulties, one being that once an improvisation comes to an end it is hard to repeat the same emotion that might have been performed to perfection. In the interview, Felicity comments on this and explains that for film she found, ‘it takes a few takes. Initially you talk a lot and think you have to explain everything and you gradually find that the more takes you do, the less self-conscious you become and you can just let the silences tell the story’.

As for Felicity Jones, we can’t wait to see the rising star in action in ‘Like Crazy’ with Anton Yelchin. Before you see it, why don’t you check out what else we found out about Felicity on Swide by clicking below:
