    Shelley Conn: The tragedy that made her look inwards, & how motherhood changes everything

    Shelley Conn is rather marvellous. An exceptionally talented and prolific actress, Shelley’s career spans film, TV and theatre. Recently, she was Lady Mary Sharma in Bridgerton - a mother navigating a world that wasn’t built for her daughters, Dean Shetty in Gen V, Isabella in Love Sarah and is soon to be seen in ITV’s upcoming series Adultery alongside Dominic Cooper and Romla Garai. I met Shelley… let’s just say a few years ago… on a TV show called Down to Earth and it felt like meeting a long-lost sister. Shelley has real magic. She’s ethereal, deeply present, and completely without artifice. In this new episode of Tea With Rosie, Shelley reveals what she’s learning from the new generation of young women, the heartache that made her look inwards, and how motherhood changes everything.

    James D’Arcy: Acting, ageing, fatherhood, & finding light after dark times

    James D'Arcy is a rather fantastic actor. I first met him years ago on a movie called Age of Heroes and was struck by his generosity, talent and sense of fun. You’ll know him from Master and Commander, Dunkirk, Oppenheimer, and his longstanding portrayal of Edwin Jarvis in the Marvel Cinematic Universe including in the upcoming Vision Quest. He even found time in his busy schedule to turn his hand to writing and directing Made in Italy, a beautiful film starring Liam Neeson. In this episode of Tea With Rosie, James discusses the well-meaning career advice that backfired into motivation, how loss and discomfort can become sources of growth, and how marriage and fatherhood changed his life.

    Brian Cox: The legendary actor on career, family and his challenging new role

    The word “icon” is thrown around a lot these days, but my guest this week is one of the very few actually worthy of the title. Brian Cox is without doubt one of the most acclaimed and respected actors in the world. With a career spanning over six decades across theatre, film and television. In a world where authenticity often takes a backseat, Brian is a pillar of truth in his life and art. In an incredibly candid conversation, he shares his early memories of family gatherings and the (very!) early performances that laid the foundation for his illustrious career. We touch on Succession, his challenging new role in Dexter: Resurrection and a particularly exhausting theatre performance many years ago. I’m so honoured to have had such a candid conversation with Brian and found myself laughing one moment, then so incredibly moved the next. I hope you enjoy the insight into this revered and loved British actor and incredible human being.
