The Academy Award and BAFTA-winning actor spoke with All Things Considered and described the joy of portraying a woman on screen who is focused mostly on one thing: her own pleasure. This interview with Mary Louise Kelly has been lightly edited for length and clarity. It contains some adult content. Interview highlights On why she wanted to play this character She's bliss, she was bliss from beginning to end. She's a decent, ordinary, responsible woman. She represents an awful lot of women in my country. She's unintentionally, mostly funny. But the situation that she's in was irresistible to me. It was so unusual, I've never seen these two people in this situation, ever. It's sort of irresistibly delicious. It's delightful. It gives so much pleasure. And yet, there's so many conversations that can come out of it, that go very deep into the female experience, and the male experience of ...

“I love taking photos,” says Daryl McCormack, the star of the new movie Good Luck To You, Leo Grande. “I do a lot of photography on the street or of nature; if there’s a sunset or an interesting building, I’m taking my camera out. I look for candid moments that could easily not be seen.” He found plenty of them on the Norwich set of Leo Grande, a smart comedy starring McCormack as a young sex worker and Emma Thompson as the woman who’s hired him. “Emma and I spent time together during the week of rehearsal we had before we shot the film, ad during our evenings, we’d cook dinner and sit down with Sophie Hyde, our director, to get to know one another,” McCormack says. “That really helped our bond. But we were also lucky to shoot chronologically. As you see Leo and Nancy meet and spend time together for the first time, Emma and I were also just starting to get to know one another, so we were able to grow as individuals alongside the characters.” GOOD LUCK TO YOU, LEO GRANDE NOW Here, McCormack—whose upcoming projects include an AppleTV+ series and the psychological thriller The Tutor—opens his personal camera roll to T&C to share a behind-the-scenes look at Good Luck To You, Leo Grande, and the moments that didn’t make it on screen.

A 62-year-old retired religious education teacher (Nancy), who has never had an orgasm, hires a 28-year-old male sex worker (Leo) to help expand her horizons. This is the story of the film Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, which was written by Katy Brand and sent to me with an “Is this anything that might intrigue you?” kind of message. It perhaps goes without saying that it was a very unexpected script to receive. Four pages in, I was hooked. At the end of the first reading, I wrote to Katy to say that we absolutely had to do it. And not many months later, we did. Over the course of 19 days in February 2021, Daryl McCormack, now 29, and I, 63, filmed four meetings in a Norfolk so Covid-secure it felt like ours and ours alone. You might be forgiven for assuming that this is a sort of Home Counties riposte to Last Tango in Paris—more of a “first two-step in Norwich”—but, in fact, it’s an adventure in several kinds of intimacy. An exploration of pleasure and shame, and a portrait of Preparing for shooting was simplified by the COVID restrictions in place at the time—for a start, I couldn’t go off to a health spa and lose 20 pounds in anticipation of forthcoming nudity. I decided that my character Nancy wouldn’t have done that either, and so it was doubtless for the best. I had no trouble imagining what it was like to be a teacher because I know several and might well have become one had my parents’ profession been less welcoming. Indeed, I once appeared on The Tonight Show Starr...
