Hrmm, I'm not sure if I'll be making many physical connections because few people seem to look like me. I've been searching for my nose for
years and I haven't found a match yet. And no, it isn't in the shape of a galleon or pretzel - its just nowhere to be found! Its not even that unique! What the hell. But Dane DeHaan and I do have the same jaw.
Once I looked in the mirror and thought 'Helloooo Felicity Jones!' and then I came back a week later and it was like 'Oh lord it's Jack Black'. I'll probably be Donnie Yen tomorrow. Or Judi Dench.
I have no style to compare because it keeps jumping from punk to hick to hooligan to scholar, so for one time or another I dress like everybody. My hair changes colour so there's no point in comparing that, either. No dye - it just keeps frickin' changing.
Now, onto personality! I'm quite in-the-know when it comes to these actors. Not picking them out of a list because we both like cheesecake or something:
Eddie Redmayne and I seem to be quite cheerful people, all round. We walk around and talk with different accents. Definitely seem to like more things than we hate. I share little of his perpetual good-naturedness because I anger easily and spite seems to follow, but from what I've seen... I think there's
something there. A base similarity. Then there are the quotes! Good lord, how they resonate:
I'm just one gigantic ball of rancid fear and self-consciousness. I'm entirely fuelled by fear, so the fact that I knew it could be a catastrophic disaster made me unable to sleep, and made me work quite hard.
Learning lines is hard for me because I have the attention span of a six year old
I draw and play the piano badly. But when I'm doing those things, I'm concentrating so hard there's no room for worry.
Yep. There it is. I wish I could be as nice and tempered around the edges, but give me a knife on a bad day and I'll stab you.
Ben Mendelsohn and I are similar in terms of sense of humour, love of capes and giddiness. The man is always wriggling in his seat and cutting in with jokey comments, and he often starts talking about something new out of nowhere which irritates and muddles people. I don't swear quite as much but that's only because I know that I couldn't get away with it. The unfairness of life.
John Boyega is very excitable and vivid, but certainly has a serious side. We're alike in how we jump up and down and fall over furniture when something especially awesome is going on.
... I
swear there were more, but my memory is abominable. I tried to relate to Gary Oldman, but he likes the Beatles and eggs and sausages and it was fundamentally impossible.
