Paloma Faith says starring in 'Pennyworth' is like an "acting apprenticeship" to her.
Paloma Faith
The 'Only Love Can Hurt Like This' hitmaker is enjoying her acting career and has learned a lot about the industry as she goes along and is grateful her character Bet "jumps from any emotion to another" as it allows her to explore different emotions and acting skills.
Speaking about her role in Pennyworth, she said: "What I love about it is, as people know, I don't come from a traditional training background. I'm really learning as I go along, and all of the emotional highs and lows and the fact that Bet is a character who's quite capable of jumping from any emotion to another within a split second means that I get to really explore a whole plethora of characters in one. So I feel like I'm learning so much. It's like an acting apprenticeship to me because I can be aggressive and then vulnerable within like a moment and actually more so in season two because, in season one, I was just often very hard, but in season two, we start to really explore the nuances, and there's a lot of indication about Bet having a softer side as well. So, it was really great to play her."
Paloma also opened up about the strict COVID-19 protocols that allowed filming to continue, after a short pause, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
She added to TVFanatic.com: "So afterward, we had very strict protocols in place where we all tested several times a week. We had to fill in a form every day and test our temperature every day to get on to the production lot. And we have to wear masks right up until shooting. So even like rehearsing in masks. When they say cameras was the only time we took them off."
