And at last! I’ll be honest, I had kind of forgotten this photoshoot ever happened… but Emma’s photos for the Pirelli Calendar 2020 have finally been released! She’s featured on their website, and our gallery has been updated with the images.
PAOLO: You know we are preparing a new version of Romeo and Juliet, and we are looking for Juliet. Have you ever been to Verona?
EMMA: No, I’ve never been to Verona.
PAOLO: Do you see Juliet more as an innocent girl or more as a rebel?
EMMA: She’s both, she’s a paradox. She’s incredibly innocent, but I think that innocence gives her her strength and her wisdom. I think she’s not been tainted by the world yet, or told that things aren’t possible.
PAOLO: Do you believe in eternal love?
EMMA: I bloody hope so, I think so. Yes. I’m definitely holding out for that.
PAOLO: Has no one ever asked you to play Juliet?
EMMA: Many times.
PAOLO: And why did it never happen?
EMMA: It felt a little… on the nose. I wanted to try and do different things.
PAOLO: Do you think you’re ready now to play Juliet?
EMMA: Maybe. It’s just… dying on stage every time for months at a time seems tough.Emma gets on ‘stage’ to perform.
PAOLO: Now you are on stage Juliet!
EMMA: Now I’m on stage.
