Phoebe Fox: Does Absence Make The Heart Grow Fonder?


Listen Later

This week’s guest is Phoebe Fox, aka Marial from The Great, who acts alongside Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult in Hulu’s deliciously irreverent ‘anti-historical’ comedy-drama. I interviewed Phoebe, a RADA-trained actor who's been nominated both an Olivier and a SAG, earlier this year for GLAMOUR magazine, and I enjoyed our conversation so much that I begged her to come on the podcast so we could continue it. 

 

We discuss, among other things:

 

  • The ‘grounding’ that helps Phoebe step out of her character after a long day of performing
  • How Phoebe and her fellow actor husband Kyle Soller have navigated living away from each other during long filming schedules
  • Why it’s important to define your own idea of success
  • Phoebe’s discovery of meditation during lockdown

 

You can watch The Great now on Channel 4. 

 

You can also order my book, Alonement: How To Be Alone and Absolutely Own It, which is based on this very podcast, now from Amazon and Waterstones.
