Kristin Scott Thomas on Slow Horses & What She Found Challenging About Making Her First Series

[@stewartmcfarlane2008]

Kristin is perfect as an MI5 boss (2nd Desk). Her sparring with Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) is wonderful. The office politics and personal dynamics at Slough House and MI5 HQ are what really make the show.

Kristin Scott Thomas!!🤩Sooo excellent along with Gary Oldman! This is as good as it gets!💥👌

Her performance in I’VE LOVED YOU SO LONG is outstanding!

[@dixieflatline1189]

She's such a great actress. Standout films are "I've Loved you so Long" and "The English Patient"

KST and Gary Oldman are so good in this show. Hilarious dark humour, and great performances.

The Seagull venue on Broadway that Kristin was struggling to remember was the Walter Kerr Theatre, in 2008.

So surprised her answer to the first question was Four Weddings and a Funeral. Yes that movie is a good ice breaker I suppose but it's like dipping your toes in. I think I fell in love with her because as I watched The Horse Whisperer for the 1st time as a 12 or 13 year old I was immersed in her performance. Her role was so defining. Her character was piercing and so relatable. I understood the complexity of her relationships in that film. As the movie unfolded, for the 1st time I was given understanding as to why all relationships have such unique complexities. She played the role so beautifully. I absolutely fell in love with her. I'm glad that is the first film I saw. Otherwise, I may have despised the other film roles enough to underlook her genius. But as it would be I was enthralled and kept searching for more. More performances. More depth. More storytelling. She does not disappoint but she has an uncanny and annoying way of leaving me wanting something more. That is the genius part. Kristen Scott Thomas.

What a beautiful comment. I have been a fan since the beginning , i looked for something i had missed. I came across this interview and your amazing and detailed comment

[@amjid300]

Just watched the finale and what an awesome series. Glad season 2 is confirmed and already filmed.

Love the show. KST’s character in Slow Horses is especially intriguing in her sinister motivations to conquer. Always wondering about how she became this dark force.

[@frankygers]

She’s brilliant in it.

[@deirdreruane8104]

God isn't this woman amazing..just so poised, erudite, beautiful and ...SHE CAN ACT..

[@southsidejohnny5624]

Kristin remains a stunningly beautiful woman and a top flight actor.

Very true about the momentum he has hit upon something very interesting there what a shame it was so short

[@lindsaydrewe8219]

I love the characters, love how wonderful the women are, too.❤

[@tommystevenson2921]

brilliant actress

[@dexterellis7818]

Check out KST in a French film called Partir (Leaving). She throws all middle class restraint out of the window and surrenders to her desires.

[@sengs.4838]

Kst is perfectly fluent in French and sometimes it seems that she thinks in French as she speaks English

[@nkt1]

I didn't realise that she lived in France for decades. It was so weird to hear her lapse into French with 'dissimulé'.

[@SonnyListon-xz5oj]

Just outstanding in Slow Horses. Babe.

[@dorkanderson4963]

I had a dream I was being spanked by KST 🤔

[@stewartmcfarlane2008]

I assume your dream was of the wet variety.
