“I was very aware of the legend, from such an early age. Being a Brit, you are so aware of King Arthur, Camelot, Guinevere and Morgan, the witch. Merlin is this mad magician who's cloaked in mystery. It has that mystery about it. And, it's a lead role for a woman that's strong and has a real journey to take.” RealAgeStrongRolesMysteryJourneyKingsMadWitchLegendsMagicianArthurBritsKing ArthurCamelotGuinevere Author:Tamsin Egerton
“That's really why I wanted to do it. I wanted to be a part of this generation's telling of Camelot, and also get the chance to play a fantastic, complex, interesting, emotionally passionate, young lead role.” PlayWantedYoungChanceInterestingRolesGenerationsComplexesPassionateFantasticThis GenerationCamelot Author:Tamsin Egerton
“I don't think any actors love taking their clothes off on film, unless you're an exhibitionist, which I'm certainly not. Those are the scenes that you actually dread doing. But, so much more goes into this role. As an actress, it's all about reality, and I'm not a prude. I'm not someone who judges other people for taking their clothes off for roles. I'm not going to show everything, but nudity here or there doesn't faze me.” PeopleThinkingShowsRealityFilmActorsRolesJudgingSceneClothesActressesDreadNudityExhibitionistPrudes Author:Tamsin Egerton
“I don't think I've ever done a character like this before, so I couldn't really draw from previous roles. I've been known for doing a lot of comedies in England, so I don't think that would have worked. I completely went from scratch, with this one, and used the research and what was in the script, and spoke to Chris. It's all from in my mind ,rather than drawing from previous experiences or roles.” ThinkingMindDoneCharacterUsedKnownRolesComedyDrawsResearchEnglandScriptsDrawingSpokesScratches Author:Tamsin Egerton
