Martin Freeman opens up about his on-screen romance with Jenna Ortega in Miller’s girl. The actor defends the age difference between them.
In real life, Ortega is 21 and Freeman is 52. Speaking with The Times, Freeman commented on the film. The film follows a student who becomes intertwined with her college student while working on a school project. It has proven to be provocative thanks to its themes of manipulation, romance and deception.
Just look at this synopsis, for example: “As the lines blur and their lives intertwine, the professor and his protégé must confront their darkest selves while striving to preserve their individual sense of purpose and the things they hold most dear.” “.
Freeman calls the film “adult and nuanced. It’s not saying, ‘Isn’t that cool?'” Freeman is confused by the reaction the film has generated. The actor points out that the film does not promote a relationship like that.
“And that’s a shame,” he said. “Are we going to try Liam Neeson for being in a Holocaust movie?”
Previously, Freeman went into more depth about the film and its themes. “There are things in it that are not cut and dry, or black and white. There are certainly conversations about that, right now and particularly over the last few years,” Freeman said. “You come into a world where those conversations are being had, a little bit from left field, and you say, ‘Yeah, what’s up with this?’ “It’s interesting.”
Martin Freeman praises his co-star
Freeman said he had a lot of fun working on the film and praised Ortega’s talent as “amazing.” “It was a real pleasure,” Freeman also added. “The whole experience of filming was lovely. It was a nice five or six weeks in Georgia. “It was a lovely summer and autumn for a story I really believed in.”
Meanwhile, the film’s intimacy coordinator, Kristina Arjona, spoke about a sex scene between Ortega and Freeman. She said they promoted a comfortable environment for both of them.
“There [were] many, many people throughout this process interacting with [Jenna] to make sure it was consistent with what she was comfortable with, and she was very determined and very sure of what she wanted to do,” Arjona told the Daily Mail.
“Part of my job is also to support their decisions. “I adapt to the comfort level of my actors, especially in a production like this where there is a big age difference between the actors,” Arjona added. “I am very conscious of my talent and making sure that we are constantly checking and that at no time are its limits exceeded.”
“And, again, making sure, especially with someone who is significantly younger, that they are giving ongoing consent,” he added.
