Michelle Dockery Is Leaving All Doors Open for Possibility of Another 'Downton Abbey' Movie
Michelle Dockery is on the cover of InStyle magazine’s September 2019 subscribers issue cover.
Here’s what the 37-year-old actress had to share with the mag…
On returning to her Downton accent: “I’d been so used to playing Americans [accents] that when we filmed Downton Abbey [the upcoming movie, out on September 20], I think [my character] Lady Mary started off being a little too posh.”
On returning to Downton: “Three years, but it felt like no time had passed at all. [I realized] I’d taken some things for granted. Like driving up to that house [the setting for Downton Abbey], it honestly took my breath away. But I think the three-year gap was perfect, because we’d all been off doing our own thing, and it was enough time to really, really miss it.”
On Downton doing more than one movie: “I mean, we’ll see. As Elizabeth McGovern, who plays my mother, just said, ‘All doors are left open.’”
On working with Chris Evans in Defending Jacob: “Chris is one of my favorite people. The content of the show is very intense. We are playing the parents of a boy who has been accused of this awful murder of a boy his age in his school. But Chris is a laugh, and we share the same sense of humor, so it’s so brilliant to work with him.”
