A welcome meal for the star amidst her West End run.
Rosamund Pike is the latest theatre actor to visit us in the middle of a hectic show schedule, with a performance at London's Wyndham's Theatre to follow her visit to Dish. In Inter Alia, Rosumund stars as Jessica Parks, a London Crown Court Judge balancing work, motherhood and friendship. It’s an incredible central performance that earned Rosamund an Olivier Award for Best Actress, just a few days before we sat down to record.
Rosamund, celebrated for her roles in Pride & Prejudice, Die Another Day, Gone Girl and I Care A Lot, also has a new film on the horizon; Ladies First is a fantastical comedy where a misogynistic CEO Damian (Sacha Baron Cohen) finds himself in a world dominated by women, with Alex, played by Rosamund, as his boss. Ladies First is coming to Netflix on 22 May.
Angela serves Rosamund a beautiful dish of roast trout with brown butter alongside freshly cooked asparagus. The meal is perfectly paired with a glass of The Ned Pinnacle Sauvignon Blanc. Rosamund, a keen cook, is delighted with a hot plate of food at a time when her pre-show meals are dominated by cold salads - and the occasional sardine…
With a wide ranging career on stage and on film, we get some brilliant tales of life on-set from Rosamund, including dark chocolate energy boosts, and the value of co-stars who double up as mixologists.
