Rebecca Ferguson is addressing her earlier confession about an unspecified co-star who “screamed” at her while on set.
With the first allegation two years ago leaving parts of the internet scrambling for clues about the mystery actor, the Swedish actress has given further details about what the moment felt like.
“It wasn’t about the person. It was about me. It was so scary. I didn’t know then how to say ‘Hey, can I talk to you privately?'” she shared. Harper’s Bazaar UK. “Now I’d like to think I could have taken this person aside.”
She also reflected on the widespread debate about “woke” culture, saying she thinks it’s actually “awesome”.
“Many say we have become too awake, but I think no, it’s fantastic. The pendulum has to swing to the other side, so we can find a balance in between.”
Her comments were a reflection of the revelation she made in a February 2024 episode Reign with Josh Smith podcast.
“I remember there was a moment and this person was so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t get the scenes out,” Dune star had shared.
“And I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I screamed,” she continued. “But because this person was number one on a call sheet, there was no safety net for me. So nobody had my back. And I cried when I walked off the field.”
Although she never revealed which co-star she was talking about, she confirmed that it was neither Tom Cruise nor Hugh Jackman, two of her most famous screen partners.
She has worked with Cruise in Mission: Impossible franchise, while Jackman was her co-star in the 2017 musical The greatest showman.
Rebecca Ferguson’s next high-profile projects include Dune: Part Three and Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Manboth released later this year.
