It wasn’t some great moment in the theater that inspired British actress Lucy Boynton. It was the Stones, the Beatles and country music.
“I was born in New York and grew up my first five years there and have this image of my dad coming home from the office, a man in a suit, and the Beatles playing. I grew up with my dad being such a music enthusiast, so I grew up with Dylan and the Beatles and the Stones and country music with the sense of that feeling you get when you hear a piece of music that ignites a feeling in you,” she says.
“Acting is a place that you can do something with those feelings. So the second I found somewhere to put all that, it felt very organic. It makes this whole acting work feel like less pretend.”
