Young actress Daisy Bevan spoke of the thrill of joining Viggo Mortensen and Kirsten Dunst on the Leicester Square red carpet for the first movie premiere of her adult career just weeks after making her stage debut.
The daughter of film producer Tim Bevan and Joely Richardson and grand-daughter of Vanessa Redgrave was in Elizabeth with Cate Blanchett as a child. But after last night’s premiere of The Two Faces Of January she said: “In my mind this is my first film as a professional actor. It was very exciting and slightly surreal and I feel very lucky.”
The film focuses on a US couple — Mortenson and Dunst — and a tour guide (Oscar Isaac) whose encounter with them pulls him into a sinister series of events. Bevan, who has just ended a run in Dorian Gray at the Riverside, plays Lauren who appears “in the calm before the storm”.
The Two Faces of January is in cinemas this Friday.
