Imogen Poots: This is an industry of Looney Tunes parading as if they're normal'
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum."
"But he said that to me in front of a whole crowd of people, which was lame. He was a nice man, but we weren't creatively right for one another at all, and it's funny in hindsight how me not feeling comfortable, or not understanding something, warranted that comment. He was treating me like a kid. But at this point I see it as a compliment. Yay for attitude problems."
"We're in a bar in Soho the day after the London Film Festival premiere of Hedda, a rambunctious rejig of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler that demands no niceties of its combative leading lady. The blonde hair, half up, half down, tumbles disorderly. My tolerance for bulls*** has always been pretty primed, the 36-year-old star of 28 Weeks Later (2007) and the Oscar-winning dementia drama The Father (2020) continues. People have often assumed I'm not aware of the trickery, but I've got big eyes."
The Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while keeping reporting free of paywalls. Donations enable journalists to investigate topics such as Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC, produce documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights, and ensure reporting reaches Americans across the political spectrum. Imogen Poots recounts being told she had an 'attitude problem' by a director, describing the remark as inappropriate and diminishing. Poots describes herself as uncompromising, with low tolerance for dishonesty, proud of her assertive persona, and energized by playing combative roles like Hedda.
