We recently saw Lily James steaming up our screens as 90s Baywatch bombshell Pamela Anderson in the acclaimed Hulu TV series, Pam & Tommy. And while her latest film also charts the highs and lows of being head-over-heels in love, that’s where the similarities stop.
In romantic comedy What’s Love Got To Do With It?, the actress plays Zoe, a dating app-obsessed filmmaker who follows her childhood friend’s Kaz’s foray into an arranged marriage.
For Lily, 33, the decision to star in what she describes as a “really beautiful and emotional multicultural romcom” was easy.
“It’s a funny and sweet story about how the hell you find love,” she says. “I first read the script during lockdown and it just blew me away. 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 stars Emma Thompson as Zoe’s mum Cath, while Lily’s The Pursuit Of Love co-star Shazad Latif plays Kaz. “To get to work with Shazad, one of my greatest friends, on something written by Jemima Khan, I was just like, ‘I’m in!’” she says. “He’s like a brother to me, so it was a total joy to do this with him – especially having just been through lockdown when we weren’t able to be at work or see friends and family.”
