Rebecca Ferguson On Her Easy Equation With Hugh Jackman
Following their excellent chemistry in The Greatest Showman, Rebecca Ferguson and Hugh Jackman shared screen space once again in 2021’s Reminiscence. The neo-noir sci-fi thriller follows the story of a man who uses a machine that can see into people’s memories, in order to find his missing lover. The film saw both Ferguson and Jackman in completely different avatars to their earlier collaboration.
In an interview which appeared in DT Next, Ferguson spoke about her experience working on the project and her rapport with Jackman. The Dune actor was effusive in her praise for the Marvel alum and his graciousness on set. She stated that the comfort level she shared with Jackman allowed her to express herself as authentically as possible without any embarrassment.
“I can try things out. I can be ridiculous. I can humiliate myself and still be so embraced and for him, just holding space for me. And hopefully he feels the same about me.”
This camaraderie with the Deadpool 3 actor created a safe space for Ferguson to give it her all in many difficult and challenging scenes in the film, which she admitted was a pleasure to share with Jackman.
