Jenna Coleman appeared on the “Table Manners with Jessie Ware” podcast today, available here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/table-manners-with-jessie-ware/id1305228910?i=1000508414620It’s a lovely interview, conducted by Jessie Ware and her mother Lennie Ware, that primarily focusses on food. Jenna and Jessie already knew each other from various fashion shows, like this Miu Miu show in 2018, when they were pictured together with Lily Collins: To begin with, they mention how normal, down to Earth, gorgeous, and demure Jenna is, that she is becoming a national treasure. How she took her friend Sally to the Miu Miu Fashion Show in Paris (see picture below, from Jenna’s Instagram stories at the time)As always, Jenna talked about how terrified she was when she started shooting The Serpent in Thailand, working only together with French actors who she constantly had to speak French with. But how after a while, she and Tahar Rahim had established a dynamic, and she became confident in playing her role. She also mentioned the difficulties of filming, how a 4 month shoot became a 13 month shoot, how the party scenes were shot in monsoon season, when every few minutes they had to go to shelter and perhaps film a scene with the monkey, before trying again. How the filming was stopped with just 4 days of filming left in Bangkok, and how the scenes in India, Paris, and Thailand were then filmed in Tring in August 2020. For that filming, a COVID test was part of the makeup and costume procedure. The only things Jenna took from the set of The Serpent was a 1970s pencil sharpener, and a little Thai statue (and a fake newspaper with Charles and Marie on the cover, as the Interpol most wanted criminals). While Tahar Rahim took several of the tailored suits and sunglasses he wore in the show, Jenna didn’t take any of her amazing wardrobe with her. Jenna talked about how in her childhood, her gran would make sunday roast, with the entire large family coming for that. She mentioned that as child she went through a phase when she wouldn’t eat anything besides cream cheese sandwiches and Heinz tomato soup. And sometimes she would hide her sandwiches in a vase, to pretend she had eaten them, because she just wanted to go back to play, rather than eat. But she said that now she loves to cook. She spoke in depth about being diagnosed with a gluten allergy 5 years ago, and how it was difficult at first to deal with that, but that she has absolutely gotten used to it by now. But it means she can’t eat pasta, pizza, croissants, or drink beer (some examples that Jenna chose). It was incredible how much that changed her life. When asked what she would have for a last meal, or a last day of meals, Jenna answered that she would have things that she wouldn’t otherwise be able to eat because of her gluten allergy. She said that she had prepared for this question, but didn’t know she had to select a whole day’s worth of food. So her choice was: egg and soldiers for breakfast, with two flat white coffees. Jenna said that she was a massive coffee addict. For lunch she would have pizza, which once again she can’t eat, but if it’s her last day, then she wouldn’t care about her allergy. As a side, she would have a fresh Italian tomato salad with basil and olive oil. For dinner, she would have the raw salmon with avocado mousse that she had had several times in Paris, when she was there last year with her mum. For a main course she would have medium rare steak with chimichurri, fries, and garlic spinach. She said that she does like cooking steak herself, but that she is a haphazard cooker, gets the timings wrong, and is impatient. And for desert, she would have her 5 year old niece’s “joy bowls”. Jenna is not really a sweet person, but when she met her family over Christmas, her niece had a recipe book of “happiness bowls”, that she renamed to “joy bowls”, which really helped lift the spirits of everyone at the time. As a drink, and I don’t think anyone will be surprised by this, Jenna chose a margarita. Apparently, she never liked them, until one year ago, but she has been pefecting her recipe for it, and considers it to be her best cooking. She does not like wine that much, and gets hungover after drinking one glass of red wine, and her favourite type of wine is Rosé. But she does like to use wine in her cooking. She also talked about filming The Cry in Melbourne, Australia, and eating fantastic brunches there.  Jenna also talked about her next projects. Apparently, she will start filming for her secret NDA project in February, and then film her indie dark comedy in March. Finally, Jenna mentions doing karaoke in Ibiza when she was 12, and singing “Wake me up before you go go” together with a friend, who was Charlotte Church, who was so much better at singing than she was. Jenna hasn’t done karaoke ever since then, and has had a fear of singing since then. For Victoria, she initially considered having someone voiceover for when she had to sing there, but in the end decided to do the singing parts herself after all. Jenna was in the Cotswolds while conducting this interview over Zoom, and apparently had a horrible internet connection.  -- source link
