Lily Collins :“I want to dig deep, tell the truth and be more brave” by Jane Mulkerrins.

(click here to see the photoshoot and here to go to the website.)

The day before we meet, Lily Collins had what felt like a breakthrough encounter. At the end of a short, on-camera interview, the journalist had asked where she lived. Los Angeles, she told him, where her mother was born and raised, and where she has lived since the age of five, when her parents divorced. He then asked where her father lived. England, and partly in the US now, too, she answered. And what did her father do for a living? After some stifled giggling from the crew, Collins, who has just turned 30, gently explained her parentage. “And the guy just looked at me with the biggest eyes,” she laughs. “He’s like, ‘I’m sorry, what did you just say? Oh God, now I feel silly.’”

She insists that she was very grateful for his ignorance. “I’m so proud of my family, but I have also worked really hard to carve my own path and to not have that define me.’”

The daughter of superstar musician Phil Collins and his second wife, Jill Tavelman, she admits that her famous surname has inevitably opened doors, but insists that nobody has ever “made a phone call” for her. “I did get told that I could have other ways in,” she shrugs, when we meet on a rainy New York afternoon. “but I never wanted to give anyone the opportunity to say: ‘Well, she only got X or Y because of that.’ I knew it would take longer to do it on my own, but it would be so much more worth it.”

Collins’s insistence on carving her own path is now paying off, with two high-profile films – Tolkien, and Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, and the US launch of the BBC miniseries Les Miserables, for which her performance as the tragic Fantine is already creating some early awards buzz.

Tolkien, a biopic of the author’s early life, stars Nicholas Hoult as JRR Tolkien, the philologist and author of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Ringsseries, while Collins plays Edith Bratt, his childhood sweetheart and, later, his wife, who was the inspiration for Lúthien Tinúviel, the elvish princess in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. “I had auditioned to play an elven character in one of Peter Jackson’s movies, and I didn’t get it… but I’ve ended up playing the woman who inspired the elven princess,” grins Collins. It is her most mainstream, highly anticipated film to date, and a world away from the romcom roles she was getting five years ago. While there’s a heavy focus on Tolkien’s male friendships – the inspirations for his “fellowship” in his books, Bratt is fully fleshed-out and three-dimensional, too, not some flimsy, token love interest. “She was very creative and very passionate and driven, and he was intellectually stimulated by her,” says Collins. Bratt and Tolkien were both orphans. “At that time women of her status and in her position weren’t really afforded the opportunity to seek higher,” says Collins. “But she encouraged him to continue on his path. It’s very selfless, and, at times, heartbreaking.”

She sees a similar selflessness in Fantine, her once-vivacious character in Les Miserables, who becomes a prostitute and sells her hair and teeth in order to feed her child. “I died on day two of filming,” says Collins, with a laugh. She sent a picture of herself in character to her mother, who replied, “No one should have to see their daughter like this.”

“My choices have tended to go quite dark,” admits Collins of her recent roles. Just three days ago, she finished filming Inheritance, a forthcoming thriller in which she stars alongside Simon Pegg. “That’s incredibly dark, too. I really enjoy playing these characters that, under the surface, have so much more going on than they are saying, or who seem like they are barely keeping it together.

“I’ve always believed that asking for help is not a weakness, it’s a strength,” she continues. “I have a tattoo that says: ‘True delicacy is not a fragile thing.’ You can look delicate, but it doesn’t mean that you’re fragile.” I surmise, from her having it made permanent in ink, that people have, perhaps, underestimated her in the past.

Undoubtedly the darkest of her recent projects is Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, about the serial killer Ted Bundy, who murdered more than 30 girls and women in seven US states in the 1970s. The title comes from the judge’s summation of Bundy’s acts when sentencing him to death. Collins plays Elizabeth Kloepfer, the killer’s long-term girlfriend who is convinced of his innocence, with Zac Efron playing a charismatic and persuasive Bundy.

While preparing for the role, over the Christmas holidays, Collins recounts how she would wake every night at 3.05am. “I would go downstairs and have a cup of tea, trying to figure out why I had woken up again.” Then, she says, “I started being woken up by flashes of images, like the aftermath of a struggle.” She went to the internet to investigate. “I discovered that 3am is the time when the veil between the realms is the thinnest and one can be visited.” She began to believe women who were murdered by Bundy were, perhaps, trying to contact her. “I didn’t feel scared – I felt supported. I felt like people were saying: “We’re here listening. We’re here to support. Thank you for telling the story.”

Collins tells me all of this in a completely matter-of-fact manner, as if receiving messages from long-dead murder victims were a perfectly normal part of preparing for a film. It’s pretty much the only moment in our time together when she seems more Californian than British. Even her looks – porcelain skin, dark hair and dramatic eyebrows – are eminently more London than LA. And, while in person her accent is pure California, on screen in Tolkien, her clipped, turn-of-the-century English consonants and vowels are flawless, as are her more working-class ones for Fantine. She looks deeply relieved when I tell her so. “I did worry that people were going to be like, ‘Well, she is actually British, her accent should really be better,’” she laughs. “There’s an extra level of pressure. I worked with a dialect coach as I needed it to be absolutely spot-on.”

Collins was born in Guildford, Surrey, at the height of her father’s success – six months later he would release Another Day in Paradise. Is it true, I ask, that Elton John used to babysit her? “I’ve really got to sit my parents down and ask them questions about that. I’ve been hearing it for so long, but I really have no idea,” she says.

After relocating with her mother to LA at the age of five, following her parents’ divorce, she attended the prestigious Harvard-Westlake school, where former pupils include Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal, and began auditioning for film and TV roles. “I was getting told ‘no’ all the time,” she says, which she puts down simply to a lack of experience. “I’d done musicals and plays at school, but I hadn’t studied acting or anything, and auditioning for film and TV is very different.”

At the same time, journalism held an appeal, too. “I wanted to be the youngest-ever talk show host,” she says. After pitching ideas to magazine editors, she began writing for Teen Vogue and Elle Girl, and scored a job as a reporter for the children’s channel Nickelodeon, covering the 2008 presidential election and Obama’s inauguration. “I was 18 and I could just vote, so I was like, ‘Oh great, I get to ask all the questions that I don’t know the answers to.’” What she liked less, however, were the questions she had to ask as a roving reporter on the red carpet. “I would think, oh, that’s not what I really want to ask this person, I would hate to be asked that,” she recalls. On the other side of the microphone now, there are questions she simply doesn’t answer, about her personal life, or about politics, on which she refuses to be drawn.

She studied broadcast journalism at the University of Southern California, but dropped out in her second year when, in 2009, after several years of auditioning, she won her first film role, as Sandra Bullock’s daughter in The Blind Side. Soon after, she was perfectly cast as Snow White in Mirror Mirror, followed by Rosie Dunne in Love, Rosie, the adaptation of Cecelia Ahern’s novel Where Rainbows End.

Though acting has clearly won out over journalism and talk show ambitions are on hold for now, Collins is still a keen writer. In 2017, she published Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me, a collection of personal essays in which she opened up about her struggles and self-doubts, her relationship with her father, with partners, and with her own body, writing about the eating disorders she battled for some years. “A lot of young women write to me on social media [she has more than 14m followers on Instagram], saying, ‘I just wanted to let you know that this is my situation and my insecurity, not that you would ever be able to relate to it…’ and I’ll always be like, ‘No, I really can relate,’” she insists.

Collins describes in Unfiltered how, as a child, she had only positive associations with food, but that changed when she turned 16. Her father was separating from her stepmother, his third wife, while Lily was juggling school, a budding modelling career, a social life and trying to break into acting, too. “My life felt out of control,” she writes. “I couldn’t handle the pain and confusion surrounding my dad’s divorce, and I was having a hard time balancing being a teenager with pursuing two different grown-up careers – both of which I’d chosen myself, but which also focused heavily on how I looked.” She began starving herself, exercising obsessively and became addicted to diet pills and laxatives, habits which continued well into her early 20s.

She pitched the book proposal during a dry spell in acting. “I hadn’t booked anything film-wise for a while, and I was itching to do something. The idea for the book had been at the back of my mind for a while, and I thought, well, maybe now’s the time.” Soon after, she was also sent the script for To The Bone, a film about a young woman with chronic anorexia. “It was too big a message to ignore,” recalls Collins. She attended group therapy sessions with recovering anorexics. “I didn’t want them thinking that I was just coming in to be nosy. I wanted them to know that I actually could relate. It encouraged me to really dig deep and tell the truth, to be more brave. And it was freeing,” she says. Collins sent a copy of the book to Michelle Obama “on a whim. I wanted to reach out to certain people and just thank them for being an inspirational woman, someone who I look up to,” she says. “I certainly never expected to receive a letter back thanking me and saying the same thing. I need to get that letter framed.”

This summer, she’s heading to France to film Emily in Paris, the new comedy-drama from Sex and the City creator Darren Star. “I knew I had so much baggage that I needed to get rid of in order to take on the baggage of all my characters,” she says. “And the second I did that, my career and my personal life opened up in a whole new way.” Collins, it seems, having been drawn to the darkness, professionally and personally, is now heading towards the light.

Thanks to the heroic work of Catherine Corless, here are the names of the seven hundred and ninety-six children who died in a Tuam mother and baby home run by the Catholic Church in collusion with the government in Ireland, and whose bodies were thrown into a septic tank at the site pictured above.

This was one mother and baby home. There is evidence to suggest that we can expect similar results from the many other Irish mother and baby homes (and this is without talking about Magdalene Laundries).

I’m not putting any of this under a Read More link. I’m just not.

Aside from her impressive work on-screen, Thompson has been thrust into the spotlight thanks to her close relationship with the singer Janelle Monáe. Thompson features prominently in the glossy, album-length music video accompanying Monáe’s Dirty Computer, one of the most buzzed-about releases of 2018 so far. “Isn’t it such a good record? I am so proud to have been involved,” she beams. The album is a riotous celebration of femininity, queerness, sexual fluidity and self-acceptance, with gleefully homoerotic content, including Thompson poking her head through the legs of Monáe’s ‘vagina’ trousers in the unashamedly suggestive video for the single Pynk. “I get text messages from friends that are like, ‘Would you please let Janelle know I came out to my family because of her?’” enthuses Thompson. “I think that work is really helping people and probably saving some lives.” But her involvement has also intensified the already frenzied speculation that the pair are more than simply friends. “It’s tricky, because Janelle and I are just really private people and we’re both trying to navigate how you reconcile wanting to have that privacy and space, and also wanting to use your platform and influence,” says Thompson. “I can take things for granted because of my family – it’s so free and you can be anything that you want to be. I’m attracted to men and also to women. If I bring a woman home, [or] a man, we don’t even have to have the discussion.” She pauses in her dissection of a chunk of avocado toast, and puts down her knife and fork. “That was something I was conscientious of in terms of this declaration around Janelle and myself. I want everyone else to have that freedom and support that I have from my loved ones,” she continues. “But so many people don’t. So, do I have a responsibility to talk about that? Do I have a responsibility to say in a public space that this is my person?” Certainly, the internet would very much like that. There are countless stories dedicated to detailing their every outing, and searching for significance in their chosen outfits. Thompson is tickled when I mention this, and seems unfazed. “We love each other deeply,” she says. “We’re so close, we vibrate on the same frequency. If people want to speculate about what we are, that’s okay. It doesn’t bother me.”

60 seconds with Oscar Isaac

The Guatemala-born actor 38, starred in Ex Machina and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. His new film, The Promise, is out this week

by JANE MULKERRINS

What Star Wars figures did you have growing up?

I had a few. My favourite was Lando Calrissian in Return Of The Jedi, in his little fake guard get-up.

Is it strange now, having Star Wars figurines of yourself?

It is weird but it’s very cool to live out that dream — that tiny, plastic dream.

In Ex Machina, you played a tech expert pushing the boundaries of AI. How do you feel about where it’s heading?

I can’t imagine we could get to a place where an AI could pose a danger by becoming so smart we couldn’t stop it. I don’t think it will happen in our lifetime. But the little kid part of me is still excited about the idea of robots becoming real.

In an interview, Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood said she started to question her own reality. Did you ever start to wonder about your reality when making Ex Machina?

No. I don’t think my demons are as strong as hers.

The Promise is about a love triangle set against the genocide in Armenia in 1915. How much did you know about it?

I didn’t know much about it at all, to my shame. But that’s like a lot of the world and it’s part of the extra pain of this story. There are the horrors that people endured, and which some survived, but then to have the entire world be like: ‘Yeah, we’re not so sure about that, let’s just not talk about it. It’s just not going to happen again,’ is doubly horrifying. Then, 30 years later, there was World War II and now we see the exact same things happening again in the same parts of the world — horrible atrocities, people fleeing for their lives, refugees seeking help and the world again standing aloof, pretty much.

Turkey continues to reject the term ‘genocide’ to describe the event. Is it the job of the arts to question the accepted narrative?

Yes, to try to shed light and connect it to real people and real emotion, not just an abstract fact. What is so difficult is that the further you get from the realities of people dying, the more abstract it becomes. And the bigger the number, the even more abstract it becomes.

It feels as if films like this don’t often get made any more…

I think there’s a sense of audiences saying: ‘I want to go somewhere, switch my mind off and not think about reality, I just want to have fun.’ But watching a film shouldn’t only be about fun. That isn’t the most important thing. And it can be very rewarding to watch things that aren’t just about shiny objects and loud noises. But it is a tough balance and I think that is why Terry [George, the film’s writer and director] added this love triangle, to hopefully draw in people who might otherwise not watch it. There is a lot of beauty here and there are elements that are feel-good to watch, while also shedding light on a part of history that people have attempted to erase.

What research did you do for this role?

There was a great little museum I went to in Little Armenia in Los Angeles, which was a real labour of love by this one lady who takes care of the place. It’s in a church next to an Armenian retirement home and is full of people’s belongings, old photographs, things that were left over and some recordings of survivors talking about what they saw and what they experienced. That was really helpful.

What’s on your bedside table?

A copy of Deadly Thought [by Jan H Blits], which is a very academic book about Hamlet, because I am doing Hamlet in a month at the Public Theater in New York. It’s directed by Sam Gold, who I was at drama school at Juilliard with, and we worked on it at school together, so it’s been 15 years in the making. I’m very excited.

What do you never leave home without?

I… [pauses] No, I leave home without my wallet sometimes. I generally don’t leave home without clothes, though. It has been a while since I left home without my clothes.

Irina Shayk nunca tinha visto uma revista de moda, agora ela é uma das modelos mais conhecidas de sua geração

Ela fala com Jane Mulkerrins sobre como ela fez isso, e por que ela está tão determinada a manter sua vida particular privada.

No térreo de um luxuoso hotel a uma hora de distância de Cannes, as cabeças dos hóspedes estão sendo voltadas para a visão de uma figura impressionante, cheia de vida, irradiando energia e trabalhando a câmera como uma profissional.

Na frente dela, a fotógrafa Ellen von Unwerth está sorrindo de orelha a orelha para a cena em desenvolvimento na frente dela. Alguns metros atrás, a equipe ES está fazendo coletivamente o mesmo. É claro que Irina Shayk sabe como trazer uma marca muito especial de diversão para uma sessão de fotos.

Entrevistas, no entanto, são outra questão - como fica evidente quando nos encontramos em uma tarde quente de sexta-feira, algumas semanas depois, em um bar de sucos perto da casa de Shayk, em West Village em Manhattan. Tivemos um grande esforço para finalmente conseguir uma entrevista, após vários cancelamentos e adiamentos. Sua agenda, claro, tem muito a ver com isso. Só na semana passada, ela voou para Milão e voltou, depois Londres e de volta ("Eu prefiro fazer viagens curtas como essas, em vez de ir e ficar", ela observa). Mas, mais ainda, você imagina, é o fato de ela ser tão intensamente privada.

A modelo de 32 anos pode ter 10 milhões de seguidores no Instagram, namorou o jogador de futebol mais famoso do mundo, Cristiano Ronaldo, por cinco anos, e agora tem uma filha de um ano com seu namorado, a estrela de Hollywood Bradley Cooper. Mas nada disso está em discussão. Shayk nunca falou sobre seus parceiros atuais ou anteriores e, com exceção de alguns paparazzi's e algumas excessões nos tapetes vermelhos, como o Met Gala deste ano , ela e Cooper raramente são vistos juntos. Isso não vai mudar hoje.

"É por isso que se chama vida pessoal, porque é minha", diz ela, com simplicidade, mas com firmeza. “Eu realmente protejo isso. Eu não sinto que tenho que falar sobre isso ou promovê-lo. Fora do meu trabalho, sou uma pessoa normal e quero sair de casa como uma pessoa normal. Não quero que alguém coloque o nariz nas minhas coisas.” Certo então. Eu me considero avisada. Em um ponto posterior, observo que deve ser mais difícil viajar por qualquer período de tempo, agora que ela tem uma filha para chegar em casa. "É verdade", diz ela, fechando rapidamente o assunto. Novamente.

"Não me tornei modelo porque queria ser famosa", continua ela, com seu sotaque russo ainda pesado. 'Eu trabalhei especificamente para conseguir o dinheiro. E aconteceu que tive sucesso porque trabalhei muito duro.”

Crescendo na cidade russa de Yemanzhelinsk, Shayk nunca tinha lido uma revista de moda. Antes de entrar no concurso de beleza Miss Chelyabinsk 2004, ela não nutria nenhuma ambição de modelo, muito menos de se tornar uma das modelos mais conhecidas de sua geração, percorrendo a passarela de marcas como Versace até a Victoria's Secret e enfeitando as capas das revistas ao redor do mundo.

Filha de um pai minerador de carvão, Valery, que morreu quando Shayk tinha 14 anos, e uma mãe pianista clássica, Olga, que, incapaz de encontrar um emprego na pequena cidade mineira, trabalhou como professora de música em uma escola primária, sua educação era pobre mas culta "Pegavamos ônibus para ir ao teatro, à ópera e ao balé", lembra ela. "Eu fui para a escola de música por sete anos, mas eu odiava. Fiquei contente quando minha irmã mais velha quebrou meu dedo por engano e não pude fazer meus exames de piano.”

Ironicamente, dada sua falta de entusiasmo por se envolver com a imprensa, quando adolescente, Shayk queria se tornar jornalista. "Meu assunto favorito na escola era literatura. Eu era muito boa em escrever e contar histórias. Meu professor estava sempre colocando o meu trabalho como um exemplo para as crianças mais velhas.”, diz ela. No entanto, ela acabou estudando marketing na faculdade e, por diversão, juntou-se à irmã para se matricular em meio período em uma escola de beleza. A porta ao lado era uma agência de modelos, onde a gerência avistou o potencial de Shayk e encorajou-a a entrar no concurso local. Ela andou, logo se inscreveu para uma agência e, aos 20 anos, estava em um avião para Paris.

"Eu não fazia ideia de como seria a modelagem", diz ela. "Tudo o que eu estava pensando era que eu poderia conseguir algum trabalho de catálogo e ajudar minha família. Eu não falava nada de inglês.” Hoje, depois de 11 anos em Nova York, seu inglês ainda é encantadoramente idiossincrático. “Em Paris, eu morava em um pequeno apartamento modelo com outras garotas. Tínhamos €40 euros por semana. Aos domingos todas comiamos arroz, porque não tínhamos dinheiro. E na segunda-feira de manhã nós iamos de metrô com nossos €1 que sobrou para chegar à agência e recebermos nosso dinheiro para a próxima semana. Foi uma época difícil, mas divertida.”

Não tenho certeza se acredito inteiramente nessa última atitude; seus primeiros dias em Paris não parecem muito divertidos. "As outras meninas zombavam de mim, dizendo:' Ela não parece uma modelo”, diz ela. "Elas eram super-magras e faziam todos os desfiles. Toda vez que eu ia para castings, eles nunca me contratavam porque eu não cabia em roupas pequenas. Eu tinha a pele mais escura e eu estava mais do lado sexy - eu tinha seios. Agora, quando eu volto para Paris, o motorista me pega e eu fico em um hotel muito legal,”, ela suspira. "Estar lá antes, sem dinheiro, realmente me deu essa compreensão de que nada é fácil, e você aprecia as coisas ainda mais."

Sua própria filha está desfrutando de uma educação muito diferente em West Village do que a você teve na zona rural da Rússia. Como você vai garantir que ela incute em si aqueles valores de trabalho duro e apreciação?

Irina: Claro, eu não vou mandá-la de volta para Village, mas você pode crescer em famílias ricas, em famílias pobres, em famílias de classe média e ter bons valores. É tudo sobre o que você é ensinado, minha mãe e minha avó [que trabalhavam com inteligência para o Exército Vermelho da Rússia] nos mantiveram de pé e nos ensinaram boas maneiras e respeito pelas pessoas mais velhas. Eu definitivamente vou passar isso para minha filha.

Que tipo de mãe você é?

Irina: Eu realmente não quero falar sobre isso",

Você é rigorosa?

Irina: Sim, eu sou russa, então sou muito rigorosa. E eu também sou capricorniana, então sou super rigorosa.

Mas ela está gostando da vida familiar, eu pergunto, tentando extrair qualquer pequeno detalhe de sua vida doméstica e relacionamento. "Claro!" ela exclama. “Família é realmente importante, especialmente com tudo que está acontecendo no mundo."

Mesmo hoje, com o cabelo amarrado em um coque bagunçado e sem maquiagem, Shayk é escandalosamente atraente, com pele morena e enormes lábios cheios. Sob o vestido de camisa de mangas compridas, está o corpo que brilhou na capa da Sports Illustrated, entrou no desfile da Victoria's Secret e ajudou a promover centenas de milhares de conjuntos de sutiãs e calcinhas para as marcas de lingerie Intimissimi e La Perla.

Nos últimos dois anos, no entanto, a maré tornou-se um pouco contra a objetivação aberta e altamente comercializada empregada por algumas marcas. Ela ainda está confort��vel, eu pergunto, sendo "Mais do lado sexy"?

“Oh meu Deus, sim, sim!” ela insiste. “Vivemos no século 21 e as mulheres têm que expressar sua sexualidade, e não devem ter vergonha de seus corpos. Eu nunca faço topless - essa é apenas a minha decisão”, ela continua. "Mas se alguém me pede para fazer um trabalho e houver nudez, e eu amo o projeto, eu digo sim. Eu acho que é arte. É arte.”

A linha frequentemente desfocada entre "arte" e a exploração tem sido uma que também foi analisada no ano passado, provocada pelo movimento #MeToo. Moda teve sua própria avaliação, com muitas modelos finalmente falando depois de anos de tratamento abusivo. Shayk, no entanto, não é alguém que teria tolerado que lhe dissessem o que fazer. "Nunca deixo nenhuma agência me dizer: “você precisa perder peso “ - e alguns deles disseram isso. Ou eles queriam cortar meu cabelo. Mas eu nunca fiz isso, porque sempre soube quem eu era. Eu acho que as pessoas sentiram minha energia. Talvez seja porque sou russa”, ela ri.

Certamente, Shayk não parece ter medo de falar o que pensa ou se manter firme. Ela atesta que a mídia social é agora um grande aspecto de sua indústria, com modelos, contas são cruciais para o marketing de uma marca como um anúncio de campanha brilhante. "Às vezes, se eu não sinto vontade de fazer isso, então eu não faço", diz ela sobre postar no Instagram. "Não preciso fazer nada que não quero."

E ai da pessoa que preguiçosamente rola em sua presença. "Toda vez que eu vou jantar com meus amigos, eu sempre digo: "É melhor vocês ficarem longe dos seus celulares, senão eu não vou". É muito importante estar presente na vida.”

Apesar de um corpo impressionante, ela aparentemente adora comer e não faz exercícios físicos. "Eu tentei uma dieta de suco uma vez. Depois de seis horas, queria matar alguém e comê-lo”, ela diz. "Mas comer é como me motivar a ir ao ginásio. Eu faço a máquina de Pilates porque eu chamo isso de um treino preguiçoso - você simplesmente fica deitado lá. E eu ando muito. Eu odeio cardio, mas faço porque sei que vou me sentir bem depois.”

Francamente, ela preferia estar em casa assistindo canal russo. "Eu tenho três canais russos no meu apartamento - eu amo TV russa." E ela é frequentadora dos históricos banhos russos de Nova York. "Tenho sempre muito orgulho de dizer que sou da Rússia", acrescenta ela.

Ela ainda é ambiciosa? Eu pergunto. "Claro. Eu nunca paro de trabalhar para o que eu quero alcançar”, ela responde, severamente. Ela não vai, no entanto, revelar essas ambições para mim. “Na Rússia, dizemos: 'Nunca abra seus sonhos, porque eles não se tornarão realidade.'”
