Jodie Turner-Smith is a woman who knows how to get things done. This is not surprising, considering the career that the actress managed to carve out for herself in just a few years. It doesn’t come from Melina Matsoukas’ feature film (Queen & Slim). [2019]) To play Anne Boleyn (Anne Boleyn) [2021]), starring in Kogonada Two-Handed Weapon (after Yang) [2021]) And if you’re a slouch, play God Himself in Sex Education. And yet, on the gloomy Thursday morning we called, Jodie Turner-Smith did just that. she surprises me
This type of conversation usually has a rhythm. They start out stern and polite, with one gauging the other’s sincerity through a blurry screen. Personal anecdotes come later, after you’ve been marked safe and trustworthy. Not so with Turner-Smith. The first words out of the actor’s mouth are unguarded. There’s no such thing as “nice to meet you” or “thank you for your time.” She begins instead with a gently harsh confession.
“Today was my daughter’s first day of kindergarten. I was so moved. It sounds cliché, but I can’t believe it. She’s growing up so fast.”
I apologize for taking up her time on the phone to process this milestone. She shook it off.
“That’s life. You don’t always have a moment to process what’s going on.” See more photos inside…
