Letitia Wright Covers The November Issue Of ELLE UK

Letitia Wright is on the cover of the November issue of ELLE UK. The young actress is on the cover of the magazine to promote her new series, Small Axe.

On her first film with her 316 Productions company, Things I Never Told My Father: “I saw my friend deal with the loss of his uncle, who was basically his father. The way he dealt with it was like Damn, you’re really trying your best to grit your teeth and get through this, but you’re hurting. I want to make things where the subject matter is really important, but [also] giving Black actors – your brothers and sisters – something to work with, like a character, a full human being.”

On auditioning for a role in Steve McQueen’s Small Axe: “He was like, ‘You just did. I’ve seen your work and I think you’re phenomenal’. He said that was how he worked with all his main actors. Michael Fassbender was the same… They met and they vibed. I remember thinking: He’s an Oscar-winning director. How is he not going to audition me? I tried to act cool about it and be lowkey, but it was so simple. I was thankful that all the years of saying no to certain things and all the years of sticking to my integrity; those projects are [now] speaking to me.”
