Where are you right now? Your backdrop is pretty cool. Jessica: It’s been really exciting to see how your life has taken shape over the past few years. And everyone, I’m sure, has their ideas of who you are because of how they watched you grow up and now the career you’re forging. How does it feel to shed, I guess, perceptions of how people saw you as you now play other things?
Jessica: I see it as a huge gift. At the time, it didn’t feel like it because I would say to myself, When am I going to get the attention I deserve? And I wasn’t ready. I spent a lot of time in that frustration, making a lot of mistakes and failing and learning a lot about the industry and about developing characters. But my failures got to be in private. And so I have such empathy for you, for anyone who is going through that in the public eye.
Jessica: Everything, before you get on a set, leads you to that character. So every moment of your life in some aspect. I prepped for seven years before I got on set to play Tammy Faye. And so that was quite a long process; that’s the longest I’ve ever had preparing for a role. And then with Scenes From a Marriage, it was like no prep, because it was during the pandemic. We started shooting in October 2020. Photo: Olivia Malone Jessica: We were one of the first ones to come back.
Sophie: Her sister and Michael are really the only constants that she’s had in her life. She grew up with a mother who passed away from what supposedly was an accident. And then she was adopted by Michael, went to live with him and his first wife, and then they split up. And so there was another big kind of trauma in her life there.
Sophie: It’s so weird. I don’t, but I kind of find it quite easy to go in and out. You saw on X-Men, in between takes, singing and dancing together. It does help having people around that are also willing to step out of it as well. And it’s just something that growing up on a show like Game of Thrones, the subject matter was so heavy that I just developed a coping mechanism of just having the most fun in between takes, so I wouldn’t get traumatized.
