CLAIRE FOY ON FIRST MAN
Interview with actress Claire Foy
The ilm, First Man, in cinemas now, is a thoughtful biopic of the life of Neil Armstrong, irst man to walk on the moon. In this ilm,
Damien Chazelle, director of the multi-Oscar winning La La Land, is back with another possible contender. It has a wonderful cast,
including British actress, Claire Foy (The Crown), who portrays Janet Armstrong, wife of Neil, played by Ryan Gosling. Interview.

Chazelle persuaded you to be in First Man.
Claire Foy: (Laughs) I think it was the other
