I worked on the project for ten years, and I hope that we made her story in a way that she would be proud of.” Jessica also discussed her dream of being an actor. “I wanted to be an actor my whole life, and ever since I was a kid it was the only thing I ever really thought about, and there were years of studying and auditioning and not getting jobs.
And I know what that feels like and I know the loneliness of what that feels like,” she said. Jessica continued, “And so, for those of you who are struggling and feeling unseen I just want you to keep going because you’re one job away, I promise!
And the thing that really kept me going was you. It was everyone in this room and it was this community.” FYI: Jessica is wearing Dior Haute Couture. Click through the gallery for 15+ photos of Jessica Chastain at the awards show…
