The definition of a rising star, Taylor Russell is in constant motion. Fresh off a flight from LA, she arrives on set for our cover shoot with freshly washed hair, a winter-appropriate Loewe grey overcoat and just a touch of jet lag. ‘I’ve been a little all over the place, but I’ve landed back in London. I’m here, I’m home.’
These past few months have been busy for 29-year-old Russell, in part thanks to her big London stage debut in Lucy Prebble’s The Effect at the National Theatre, in which she played Connie, a psychology student who takes part in an experimental drug trial — think of it as a story of love in a time of big pharma.
