The Last Letter From Your Lover star talks puddings and Rogue One boots.

What is the first thing you do when you get on a set?

I always like to have a little mooch around my trailer, and make friends with it – light a candle. I often have a lot of images connected to the character I’m playing so I’ll put those up around the trailer. On The Last Letter From Your Lover, I had spoken with Hadley Freeman to get an understanding of a contemporary journalist [for my character]. So without sounding too stalkery, I had lots of images of Hadley Freeman! I will also make sure I drink a coffee, then I do a warm-up, which comes from doing theatre – that’s quite embarrassing if anyone comes in when I’m making these bizarre and weird actory sounds.

What do you take on-set?

I like to have the script with me at all times, and I always have a yoga mat. Sometimes when you’re waiting, it’s good to limber up. I never take my phone directly onto set. I find it just throws you out of the world that you’re in. [The Aeronauts
