The Telegraph: ‘I’ve been told, “You owe us a side boob”’

written by Ana on 17 February 2024

‘The problem with theatre,” says Jessica Brown Findlay, “is that sometimes it can feel like this exclusive club for which you need a PhD in order to become a member.” By way of explanation, the actress – who found fame as the forward-thinking socialite Lady Sybil Crawley in Downton Abbey – tells me about her recent slip during rehearsals for Thomas Ostermeier’s fourth-wall-busting adaptation of An Enemy of the People, in which she’s playing a doctor’s wife.

Jessica Brown Findlay reads from ‘Still Born’ | The Booker Prize

written by Ana on 17 May 2023

Jessica has been selected as one of the few celebrities reading a small snippet for The Booker Prize with a extract from Still Born by Guadalupe Nettel. This book is part of the International Booker Prize 2023 shortlist, the shortlist of six books was announced on Tuesday, April 18 and the winning title will be announced at a ceremony at Sky Garden in London on Tuesday, May 23, 2023.

The story so far: Alina and Laura are independent and career-driven women in their mid-thirties, neither of whom have built their future around the prospect of a family. Alina becomes pregnant and when complications arise in her pregnancy, both women are forced to reckon with the complexity of their emotions, in Nettel’s sensitive and surgically precise exploration of maternal ambivalence.

Jessica Brown Findlay was most recently seen leading both feel-good hit The Flatshare (Paramount+) and the film adaptation of Jo Nesbo’s The Hanging Sun (Sky Cinema). She played Ophelia to Andrew Scott’s Hamlet in Robert Icke’s Olivier-nominated London production, and played Lady Sybil Crawley in ITV’s Downton Abbey.

Be aware of the video as it contains descriptions of prenatal complications that some viewers may find upsetting.
