Lily James - 'I've Seen Mamma Mia! The Musical 8 Times!

 

 

She’s starred alongside acting heavyweights like Christopher Plummer and Maggie Smith, but it was Lily James’ chance to work with award-winning actress Meryl Streep in the upcoming Mamma Mia! sequel that really excited her.

‘I couldn’t wait to work with Meryl,’ Lily, 29, spills. ‘Just before I was about to meet her, I was listening to her sing… and I started crying because it was such an emotional moment for me. I had to tell myself to hold it together!’

After shooting three films back-to-back, including Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, the English actress is in need of a break. ‘I actually haven’t switched offin so long,’ she says. ‘You need a moment to let go of characters.’

So what does she plan to do in her downtime? ‘Seeing friends that I haven’t seen in so long and just not feeling guilty about being able to drink wine every day,’ Lily jokes. ‘I can eat what I want and not go to the gym and just be really lazy.’ We hear ya, girl!

HERE WE GO AGAIN

When Lily was young, she would go to London’s West End to see a musical for each and every birthday. And it just so happens that she’s seen the Mamma Mia! musical eight times! So naturally Lily was a bit sceptical when she was asked to audition for the film’s sequel.

‘I was rather untrusting. I thought, “God! It’s Mamma Mia! two, how are they going to do that?”’ However, after reading the script the actress says she was hooked.
