MINT! @bbc@britishfilminstitute â¤ď¸ I am waking up with a heart full of love from last night. The people that made this show are some of my favourite in the world. I couldnât be more proud. Yours to watch 20th Aprilâ¤ď¸
I feel so very, very honoured to share that I will be playing Daphne Du Maurier, opposite my heroes, in The Housekeeper. I do not take this lightly. Daphne was a remarkable woman. And thanks to Richard Eyre and the incredibly welcoming people of Cornwall, Iâve come to know her life, her work and legacy very well. I sit and type this with the weight of responsibility to make her and her estate proud. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Following her performance as Jimmima in #28YearsLater âThe Bone Templeâ, #BritishVogue sits down with actor #EmmaLaird to talk apocalypses, ditching modelling and her surprising friendship with #BillNighy: âHe changed my life in unimaginable ways for so many reasons. Advice, book recommendations, anything personal, I can tell him anything.â Watch here as she recalls being starstruck by #KristenStewart and hit the link in bio for the full interview.
28 YEARS: THE BONE TEMPLE premier. What a night. I am full of love and gratitude. Working on these films has been a nothing short of a dream come true. My jaw is on the floor with this one. Bravo Nia DaCosta. Thank you to the entire cast and crew who worked months, back to back on these two films. It was a lesson to watch you all work, an honour. Thank youâ¤ď¸
Emma Laird moves through projects with a cool, almost whimsical magnetism - the kind that feels instinctive rather than performed: part modern muse, part slow-burn disruptor. Her presence carries a quiet defiance, shaped by an inherent search for authenticity. After breaking onto the scene in Paramount+âs crime drama Mayor of Kingstown in 2021, the 27-year-old English actor has steadily expanded her resumĂŠ across both small and big screens, appearing in The Crowded Room and making her feature film debut in Kenneth Branaghâs A Haunting in Venice (2023).
This winter, Laird appears in Fackham Hall, a British period comedy penned by Jimmy Carr and starring Damian Lewis, Katherine Waterston, Ben Radcliffe and Tom Felton. Its unapologetic tone is what drew her to the project: âWhatâs great about Fackham Hall, and [the show] is a ridiculous example, is that we still have films being made that arenât afraid to make certain jokes or say certain things. There is so much bubble wrap around projects nowâ. The result is a show that encourages audiences to turn the mirror on themselves, and to admit it might be acceptable to be a little less judgmental at times.
In January, she returns to the post-apocalyptic horror franchise with 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, the fourth instalment in the juggernaut film series: a role that places her at the centre of one of cinemaâs most enduring worlds. Yet for all the scale and spectacle, Laird remains grounded in a far more intimate measure of achievement. How does she define success? For her, it comes down to human connection: âI think it is a beautiful way of living to wake up and think, âHow can I make someone elseâs life great today?ââ
The Winter issue of Glass Magazine is out next week.
