I love Like Crazy so much! It was a great movie. I watched that movie because of J Law, but ended up falling in love with Felicity.
She is just so beautiful and nice. I love the way she talks and thinks. I can't wait to see the theory of everything!
'i have loved you. i did my best'. holy hell i burst into tears when she recited that line. that whole scene (that whole movie) destroys me.
What a great interview, she's lovely and Jenelle Riley is the best moderator.
She's such a lovely lovely friendly person, as always in every interview.
Wow, she seems like a genuine human, I bet she is a very pleasant person to be around.
What a lovely interview! I agree with the comment below that she is very down-to-earth and relatable. It's refreshing to hear someone who has experienced the success that she has speaking about the enormity of auditions that she doesn't book, and the struggle to perform those emotional scenes that call for tears, and what you might do if the tears aren't there/don't come.
Beautiful woman
Loved her on The Worst Witch! She was the most funniest as Ethel! She made such a funny bully!
"I have loved you, I did my best." I got teary eyed just listening to her explain that scene, like love might be there but it's not working anymore. :( And how it took a long time to let go. I have to agree, coming from my own experience of failed marriage.
Felicity, we simply adore you. So refreshing to see and listen to such a personable actor. We love to laugh with you; don't change a thing!
