The actors new international thriller requires an artistry she mastered forBridgerton.

The early 2020s promised Phoebe Dynevor the kind of breakthrough that young actors dream of.

But think back toChristmas Day 2020,whenBridgertonpremieredto a socially distanced world.

Phoebe Dynevor’s new movie, Inheritance, is a far cry from Bridgerton.

Which is all to say its been an unconventional breakout by Hollywood standards.

Im grateful for it in many ways.

Its [part of] acting and keeping the scene alive.

To have chemistry with someone on screen, there is a certain tension that has to happen.

What drew you toInheritance?

What is something youre particularly proud of from filming?

Phoebe Dynevor, who played Daphne in Bridgerton, in the new movie Inheritance.

We started in New York, then Cairo, then India, and then we ended in Seoul.

Unfortunately, the industry Im in is quite selfish.

If youre an actor, youre leaving your loved ones for months at a time to film.

Theres a lot of putting yourself first.

I take a stab at find ways to avoiddoing that.

But saying no is a really powerful tool.

Phoebe Dynevor and Jonathan Bailey, who starred in Bridgerton Seasons 1 and 2.

That was a learning curve.

Im trying to let go of people-pleasing.

Youre probablyused to questionsabout the next season ofBridgerton.

Whats your relationship to that aspect of the fandom like?

I had the best experience on that show.

I truly love to talk about it.

I love the fandom, and I love the people I worked with.

We had the best time.

Id love to have been there the whole time, but I had to pass on the baton.

Thats how the show works.

If they give me a call and want me to do something, Im ready for that.

Im waiting for it.

Im not sure how Daphne would appear now, but I loved playing her.

You reunited with a fewBridgertonco-stars at theMet Galalast year.

Have you had a chance to see Jonathan Bailey inWicked?

Oh my God, of course I did!

I went as soon as it came out.

Hes such a special person.

What else are you watching these days?

I dont watch much reality TV, which I probably should.

I hear that its really good for switching off.

But I watchedThe Penguinrecently, and I loved that.

I loved the fact that Colin Farrell had that transformation.

I would love to play a character who looks completely different from what I look like in real life.
