“It’s funny, I got engaged literally two weeks after we wrapped the movie,” Lena told Yahoo Entertainment. “And I’d spent a few years making this movie about the oppressive nature of marriage!”
She added, “That very romantic monologue that Andrew Scott delivers to his wife as she’s in childbirth. That very much came after I’d met my husband, and I was like, ‘Maybe being married wouldn’t all be suffering and pain! Maybe there’d be some really nice stuff too.’”
Lena has been facing backlash for comments she made last week.
