Carey Mulligan Talks About Her Stage Fright Before the Play 'Girls and Boys'

[@traceysmith184]

I’m shocked. She’s a favorite of mine. Rare depth & talent most can’t match. My throat closes where I can no longer speak. It’s one of the worst feelings in the world. The humiliation. The stress you are aware of putting others through watching you. It’s comforting to hear her experience and realize a phobic reaction doesn’t nullify raw talent.

Love that comment about that performance being a dance requiring to be light on one's feet and therefore taking off her shoes. It tells you that she is sensible to the subtleties of what she performs, interprets them and make that interpretation sensible for the audience. She's a brilliant actress

Ugh, her describing that little moment with her kids. She's lovely.

I freaking love Carey Mulligan so much. She is just so talented and down-to-earth.

I absolutely loved the audiobook of this she narrated. Made me wish I could see her perform the play in person.

I listened to the audio version of this play on Audible during a long drive and had to pull over. Her performance absolutely broke me and I just sat in that car howling

[@arian7022]

I absolutely LOVE Carey Mulligan!

You would have no idea she had crippling stage fright before it opened. By the time we saw it a couple of weeks after it opened in London it seemed so effortless. A fantastic performance. A funny, yet harrowing play.

I saw Girls and Boys, she was amazing and I wished she got more daring roles like that on film.

[@rickbishop5987]

Her performance is always flawless.

I truly enjoyed this. Such a wonderful and private story of her talking about Marcus and her family.

[@RodCornholio]

It's great to see that they are indeed human with human issues. Inspirational.

Love that appoach to a difficult situation - get comfy and get perspective. Then go! Nice.

[@StephanieTips]

That's the first time she confirmed she had a son, didn't she? I loved how she talked about something so intimate and private as Marcus and her going to a hotel to learn the script. I adored it

I wish I had her career

[@andreaandrea6716]

Oh, Carey Mulligan! Who is lovelier than she? The Whole Package. La Bombe! Just fascinating and beautiful. And fun. WHY is the word sH%t being censored? Honestly... this is a country of strangeness; we carry guns but can't swear. I think it's time we reversed this.

Can anyone be more lovely?

[@Steeyuv]
