Lily James couldn't help but shine in last year's hit TV series. Pam& Tommy. The show tracked the tumultuous romance of '90s showbiz couple Pamela Anderson and her Mötley Crüe rocker husband Tommy Lee.
Now, Lily's newest role also involves another passionate love story. But that's where the similarities end! The British actress is starring in the rom-com What's Love Got to Do With It?, which is screening in cinemas now.
And while Pam and Tommy's story focused on the couple's controversial sex tape, Lily's latest offering is simply "a funny and sweet story about how the hell you find love".
In the movie, Lily plays unlucky-in-love Zoe, a filmmaker who decides to follow her male friend Kaz as he goes through the experience of an arranged marriage.
"I first read the script during lockdown and it just blew me away," shares Lily. "Zoe is struggling to figure out how to make good choices as she always seems to make bad ones especially when it comes to love."
The movie certainly has plenty of heft behind it: it was written by Jemima Khan, who turned her hand to scriptwriting after her well-documented days as a British heiress/socialite married to Pakistani cricketer (now politician) Imran Khan.
Dame Emma Thompson stars as Lily's on-screen mum Cath and the actor who plays Kaz is none other than her close friend Shazad Latif, with whom she starred in the 2021 series The Pursuit of Love.
