When TV4’s reporter interviewed Rebecca Ferguson last spring, it was a disgruntled actor who finally agreed to speak Swedish.
After that, her reaction went viral.
Now they meet again – and the tone is different.
When TV4’s reporter Nanna Martorell interviewed Rebecca Ferguson last spring, it was a frosty start to say the least after the actor was asked to speak Swedish – something she was reluctant to do.
– Is your English not good enough? Rebecca questioned.
In the end, she agreed to take the interview in Swedish, but was clear that she was not satisfied:
– I will do it for you, but I’m not happy.
Here Nanna and Rebecca meet again
Now Rebecca Ferguson and Nanna Martorell meet again before the premiere of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and this time it was much more cheerful. When the interview started, it was a cheerful actor who took the floor.
– Lol! You know what, I was thinking shall we do this interview in German? she jokes.
Rebecca Ferguson plays the role of Ilsa Faust in the blockbuster, where she plays opposite Tom Cruise. And she gives us an insight into what it’s like to be close to him – or just close, maybe not the right word.
– It is difficult to say that you are close to someone like Tom. I don’t think there is a person as famous as him. You might be able to name one or two who are at that level in the film industry, says Rebecca.
– He has a way that some people have, I don’t know what it is, of asking questions that make you feel like you are the only person in the room. And he does fist bumps – and I do fist bumps! I don’t know why, I never do fist bumps but with him I apparently do. You start to question who you are becoming, she continues.
“A huge phobia that I have to work with”
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One features stunts that some claim are some of the most spectacular in movie history. But Rebecca has limits, she doesn’t agree to do anything.
– I have a huge phobia that I have to work with, it’s claustrophobia. I can’t do anything when I’m stuck, she explains.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One premieres today, July 12.
