NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Elizabeth Debicki has admitted she thinks there may well be ‘no walking away’ from a role like that of Princess Diana on The Crown.
The Australian actress, who plays the late Princess of Wales in the newly released season five of the Netflix show, also said it was an ‘enormous challenge and responsibility’ to take on the role of someone so beloved and well-known by the public.
As she reflected on having played the part, the 32-year-old likened it to herself and fellow cast members still being ‘under the waves’ as they had spent so long researching, preparing and performing as their characters.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk and other press ahead of the season’s release, Debicki commented, when asked how easy it was to walk away at the end of a day’s filming: ‘There is no walking away – well, we’re all still in it, we’re still walking through this. I think of it as being under the waves in a way and I think we’re still swimming.’
