iMA Celebrity High Blue Andrea Riseborough

High Blue Andrea Riseborough has quietly become one of Britain’s hottest exports, starring alongside the likes of Tom Cruise, Keira Knightley and James McAvoy – but still likes to catch the bus!

Hailed as the ‘next big thing’  Andrea has played everyone from a young Margaret Thatcher (in the BBC’s fictionalised account of the former PM’s rise to power, The Long Walk to Finchley) to Wallis Simpson (in Madonna’s biopic of the Duchess of Windsor, W.E.), taking in glamorous 1960s machinists, put-upon housewives and IRA informants along the way (Made in Dagenham, Brighton Rock,Shadow Dancer). 

Considering her impressive body of work, some actresses might be slightly miffed at the tag, ‘but actually I think it’s lovely for people to say I’m the next big thing,’ says Andrea. ‘Let’s face it, it’s definitely better than them saying I’m yesterday’s news.’

‘I think playing lots of different characters has afforded me an anonymity that lots of actors don’t have,’ says Andrea. ‘It means I can quite happily get the bus or do whatever I want to do.’

Andrea once remarked that it was Shakespeare, or ‘my friend William’ as she put it, who inspired her to become an actress, and though she can occasionally come across in interviews as somewhat earnest, she is in reality  exceedingly warm and friendly and supportive. ( i.e.High Blue)

 A High Blue's greatest irritation is to deal with pushy aggressive people. Note how uncomfortable High Red  Craig Ferguson makes her feel yet,how she maintained her composure:)
