Andrea Riseborough in person is utterly unlike herself on screen. Even from film to film, Riseborough barely registers as the same person. In an interview with "The Guardian" Riseborough talks about her experience working on W.E. with Madonna.
What might have blown Riseborough's cover for good is her much-publicised role as Wallis Simpson in Madonna's forthcoming W.E. Given the notoriety of both director and subject, W.E. was always a risky proposition, but Riseborough didn't hesitate. "From the moment we had a cup of tea together for the first time, her passion for the piece was infectious. When you find somebody with that drive to want to share their vision with the world, and who's going to do that in a way you believe is exciting to be part of, and has a worth artistically, then I think it's crazy not to be a part of it."
Wasn't the prospect of working with Madonna also intriguing? "I'm intrigued by the prospect of working with any director," she replies. But Madonna's not any director; let's admit it. "No director's any director," she says. "Mike Leigh's not any director. Peter Hall's not any director. I can't have a preconception about what any of these people are going to be like. As we all know, and this relates back to Wallis, the public perception of somebody is such a very different thing to who they might be. And I would be naive to think different."
