After Work Drinks
What Happens When It Really Is The End Of The F*cking World, With Jessica Barden
It's our second episode of After Work Drinks With and we are so very excited to be chatting to Jessica Barden. Starting as an actress in her early teens, Jess nabbed roles alongside the most formidable names in British acting, including Saoirse Ronan, Carey Mulligan and Olivia Colman. But it was her critically acclaimed role as Alyssa in Netflix’s mega-hit The End of the F*cking World (incidentally one of AWD's favourite TV shows of the last few years) that made her a household name. Now, she's taking on Hollywood, with a whole bunch of major new films in the works. We caught up with Jess from her garden in LA, discussing everything from quarantining with your partner to how therapy is helping her manage anxiety, portraying trauma on screen, sexism and classism in the film industry and how it feels to get 2 million Instagram followers overnight. We loved making this episode and can't wait for you to hear it! Wine glasses at the ready.
