Aisling Bea & Lara McDonnell on Greatest Days, workin with Take Taht, evoking emotions through music

Описание: Aisling Bea and Lara McDonnell delve into the layers of their characters in 'Greatest Days', the musical drama that intertwines two timelines. Bea was drawn to the character of Rachel, an NHS worker with an internal struggle, citing the movie as a "love letter to a normal woman going through something". McDonnell shares her enchantment with portraying the younger version of Rachel, who uses music as a coping mechanism, a central theme of the film. Both actors revel in the power of music and fandom, reflected through their characters' connection with the fictitious band, 'The Boys'. Working briefly with Take That, the band the film draws inspiration from, was a highlight for the actors. Bea expresses her admiration for McDonnell's performance in 'Belfast', which led to her casting as the younger Rachel. Both agree that their shared scenes were standout moments, despite being few. McDonnell confesses being a theatre kid, while Bea admits she leans more towards pop, making the film a perfect amalgamation for them.
