Rebecca Ferguson shared an update on what happened after she revealed an unnamed co-star “screamed” at her during filming and reduced her to tears.
In a new interview, the star of films like Dune: Part Two and Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning talks about the panic among her former co-stars, worried that they would come after them.
“Number one, yes, I kind of enjoyed the grab,” Ferguson said on The Jess Cagle Show. “But what I realized even at the age that I am now – 21 – is it doesn’t matter. I definitely think I’m much more open. I also know where my boundaries are. But the point of the interview wasn’t about finding the person – of course, people will be interested. But I was excited about the question, which was a very good question by [Josh Smith]. Because the point was: Is there a point in your career where you were treated in a way where you changed your decision on – this is how I formulated it in myself – where you want change, or you will not accept it? And it was such a clear moment for me working with this person.”
She continued, “But I got phone calls from amazing co-stars who I’ve worked with going, ‘You understand what you’ve done, right?!’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God. No, I didn’t think.’ I mean, it’s not my responsibility, to be honest. I don’t really care. You know, ‘You’re great, but my story is my story, and if you’re a good person, then don’t worry about it.'”
Cagle joked that “the person was Meryl Streep, and everybody knows it,” to which Ferguson replied laughing, “Dammit!”
