ROMCOMS TO SWOON TO

Q: How did you approach playing a French character?For me it was incredibly welcome because I am a huge Francophile. I rather agree with the French about how superior they are – they’re absolutely right! I’ve always had a secret desire to be a French actress in French movies. Q: Would you like to eat at Madame Mallory’s restaurant?A: I have been to Michelin three-star restaurants and, funnily enough, I didn’t really like them. They are the height of elegance but quite honestly those sorts of restaurants always make me feel a little bit awkward. I prefer going to the local Indian place down the street if it’s not a special occasion!Q: How did you enjoy filming in France?A: We shot in a very beautiful part of France, in Lot-et-Garonne, just north of Toulouse. That was very much a part of the whole experience, being able to shoot in the actual marketplace and see what food markets look like there. It was more like having a holiday than making a movie.Q: Are you a good cook?A: I am not a great cook at all. Soup is about my level of cooking. I am not a foodie myself, although my husband is.
