this is the second year I have forgotten it is Ben’s birthday and opened twitter and had a fucking heart attack because he is trending and I have assumed HE IS DEAD can u all calm down and love him less plz my heart cannot withstand a third year of this Ben I am so glad ur alive
🥺🥺🥺 10 years !!!! Thank you for loving Narnia so much that we got to make three beautiful films and have three beautiful adventures with the most amazing people, we are indeed the luckiest ❤️
It’s 10yrs today since the release of ‘The Voyage of The Dawn Treader’! I have kept some of my best friends in the world from the films & treasure so many memories so even though we may speak about them less, I’m the luckiest: I’ve been able to take a piece of my
#Narnia
with me!
Also need to mention that our amazing costumes were designed by Isis Mussenden, she’s responsible for every incredible detail, making us feel so special + being v patient with squirmy 8yr olds who are bad at standing still for fittings! This was the first day in my Narnia dress✨
So exciting to be a part of Prop Culture on Disney+!! The show is dedicated to celebrating the incredible artistry that goes into crafting the worlds of your favourite Disney movies, and LWW was selected for an episode! Watch now to enjoy some serious Narnia nostalgia ✨
Also thank you forever to all of you guys who love watching the Narnia films. I feel so unbelievably lucky to have been part of something which brings people so much joy. Someday I’ll try to put into words how much fun we had making them. It really was so wonderful.
(okay small confession now I’m actually going through pictures and getting super nostalgic and just feeling so grateful, thank you so much everyone for loving the films and giving us the opportunity to make them, love you guys)
I just saw the videos of Soho in London tonight and have no qualms about being a massive killjoy and saying HI GUYS WE’RE STILL IN A PANDEMIC IS IT REALLY FUCKING WORTH IT JUST TO DRINK A TEPID BEER IN THE STREET
Since I posted about my scars last week I have been amazed, humbled, overwhelmed in the best possible way by the outpouring of love and support I have received. It has been such a relief to speak honestly and be met with such kindness and generosity, thank you so much💛
Also you can’t see but in the scene where Lucy sees Tummus’ statue, James is sat with my mum so that afterwards I can see he’s not actually been turned to stone!!! Also can’t get over how absolutely radiant my mum is.
Getting feedback on a project that you’ve put time, energy, love into is amazing, but critiquing someone personally just because they have a blue tick is disgusting. Will is one of the most talented, hardworking, lovely people I’ve ever met + this breaks my heart.
just waiting for J.K. to retcon to placate: ‘so guys! turns out umbridge was a trans woman! yes she was a big meanie but that’s because all trans women are big meanies but I still love them obvs!!! In the way you love bad people who don’t deserve rights! Representation! Ickabog!’

you know what Ben that’s v unfair because it’s v hard to retaliate with bad pictures of you, you’re horrifically photogenic (HOWEVER I ALSO HAVE PICS OF THIS SQUIRREL MOMENT SORRY WILLY)
sidenote though, I swear Insatiable has been everywhere on the Netflix homepage for what seems like forever whereas I had to search directly for To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before - why are they pushing that toxic show so much?? young people, avoid avoid avoid, you deserve better
Ten years ago today Prince Caspian was released. The Chronicles of Narnia has been the most beautiful experience in my life. Truly a dream come true. I am so proud of the work we did in these films. The friendships we built and have carried forward.

yeah was that knife given to you by Father Christmas on the instruction of a talking lion in order to save a magical land?? I think the furk NOT
Sorry for being so shrill IT WAS A VERY EXCITING DAY. I had totally forgotten that I used to fit the tips of my fingers in the little ears of the Aslan pommel of Will’s sword. And my handkerchief still had James’ makeup on from when he’s crying at the lamppost!
Anyone who has worked as an actor on a set can tell you that 75% of your day is made up of people (makeup, hair, costume, sound) constantly touching you. That’s before you even get to the scene. But SURELY it’s not like our government to not know what they’re talking about 👍
‘I personally am not the type of person who’s gonna give a shit about anyone but myself’ - sorry but I am SO TIRED of people with huge platforms (how he’s popular is beyond me) spreading this dangerous, selfish rhetoric. And thinking that the rules don’t apply to them?? Grow up.
The thing about Narnia that always throws me is that they were all adults at the end of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, probably drinking mead every night and fucking tree spirits or satyrs or whatever, and then they had to go back to living as children
I want my anger to mean something. To be galvanising and useful. We need accountability, reparations, genuine change. The onus has to be on white people to put in that work. It’s more than posting on social media. I know. Good intentions are nice. But they’re only half-measures.
final performance of Angry last night and I feel so lucky to have made my stage debut with such a powerful piece and the best team! thank you to my hero Phil,

THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE. It’s crazy how many people post about mental health awareness and then spend their time attacking artists in the public eye online. Apparently when you get a few thousand followers you’re not supposed to have feelings anymore? Fuck that.
thank you so much for all your gorgeous birthday love - I was self-isolating so will be celebrating belatedly, but am always so humbled by your enormous kindness and it means the world 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Today’s the day kids!!!

- worked with the best people making this show, such a great crew, and so excited for people to see this beautiful cast shine!! 👑 going to share some brill articles below:
Trump and his family and the other spineless degenerates who have enabled him: I don’t want to see any book deals or talk show appearances or commentator spots or redemption tours or fucking Dancing With The Stars bookings for any of them. They are guilty of so. Much. Violence.
Hi hi just to say, international women’s day approacheth so the terfs are out in full force, this is just a reminder that IWD is about celebrating ALL WOMEN and yes that includes trans women. If your feminism excludes women who aren’t cis then it. is. not. feminism.

@GertieCraig3
I never said all women included men? I said it included trans women? Who are women. Glad that’s cleared up! I hope you realise the irony of mentioning empathy when you’re contributing to the marginalising of people just wanting to live their lives honestly+unbothered by prejudice
Some thoughts: Yes, people’s scalps would steam after being in the Minotaur heads. Yes, Howie Berger is really that cool. Watching Andrew direct made me realise how much I’d absorbed his style when I’ve directed?! He’s just the best.
Anyway it’s genuinely baffling to see (usually white) women consistently threatened by the inclusion of trans women in the LGBTQ+ community, and the definition of ‘woman’. Why does their inclusion erase your experience? Why do you care?
Today on International Women’s Day I’m sending love to all the women in my life who are so very wonderful, to the women who inspire me and have blazed a trail for us all, and to myself because I’m always my biggest critic and I want to become my biggest fan 💫
I am absolutely not the first person to say this but writing is 20% actually putting words on a page and then 80% trying to convince yourself it’s not a huge pile of shit - hello fellow masochists!!
Furthermore he has an incredible social conscience and his voice will be missed. But I respect and support his decision wholeheartedly. And I really hope that this will lead to some serious self-reflection from any idiot who thought that they’d make a cheap shot for a few likes.
Saw LITTLE WOMEN for 2nd time. Cried tears into my neck again. I am astonished at the level of warmth and generosity and compassion that Greta Gerwig imbues her films with. Tactile, tender filmmaking. Every time Jo’s hand cramped up, my heart soared.
#TransRightsAreHumanRights
- I’ve never felt that my identity as a cis woman is compromised by the existence of trans people. I’m so sorry to everyone who has been affected by anti-trans hate this week (on top of what they deal with in their everyday lives). You are loved.
happy new year beautiful people!! I think my personal new year’s eve was on September 30th 2017 but I’m weird so enjoy tonight and let’s do some good things in 2018✨✨✨✨
hi wow okay so I mentioned Insatiable in a tweet and now people are being intense so: 1) it’s okay for you to like a show! 2) it’s also okay for me to watch three episodes of said show (to give it a chance) and dislike it! 3) Who cares what I think, you do you!
thank you

for treating us to a screening of The Courier! - taut, captivating filmmaking and impeccable performances, am now off to start a Merab Ninidze stan account✌️
part 1: long but important message about safety online. I’ve had too many messages from people who have been vulnerable to disgusting imposters, pretending to be me in order to take advantage, emotionally and financially. please watch and be a responsible user, love to everyone.
Hello lovely people I’m feeling v overwhelmed by current situation but trying to figure out how I can spread some positivity in my local community, and online here. SO am going live on my Instagram tomorrow at 4pm GMT to read some of my favourite poems about hope. Come join!! 💛
The unsung heroes of film sets are the people behind the scenes, less visible than the actors’ faces onscreen but arguably so much important! The level of detail and care in the props, costumes, and effects used to build the world of Narnia is nothing short of jaw-dropping.
Thinking of Ireland today and urging everyone voting to remember the importance of a woman’s choice. Sending love and solidarity to all the amazing people who have worked tirelessly to organise and support the Yes campaign.

This is my amazing Mum and Grandma today on Mother’s Day. My Dad took the picture. My Grandma is on total lockdown for the foreseeable future. My parents brought their own packed lunch, fizz and glasses to sit in the garden while my Grandma ate her lunch inside.
