How are you feeling? DeBose: I’m just thrilled that I get to be here in London to celebrate this nomination and celebrate all of my fellow EE Rising Star nominees, because I am very well aware that every single one of them is massively talented and I find them all incredibly inspiring.Dickinson: Wonderful, thank you very much. [I found out] a couple of weeks ago.
It was incredibly exciting. It’s strange, because I wasn’t able to tell anyone so it’s always odd when you sort of have to quietly celebrate.
It’s one of those things that I’ve looked to as a young, aspiring actor with great admiration for years. So to be included and nominated, especially with the other nominees, is really special.You’ve both appeared in some amazing projects, including “West Side Story” (DeBose) and “The King’s Man” (Dickinson).
