How do you and Nick make your own family life work when you are both so busy with so many different projects?
We both understand what it takes to have the careers that we do and to be part of a family.
How challenging was it to play a Caribbean character, and one from such a different period of time?
It was a challenge. I had to learn how to speak differently, and of course, I had to look different. I also felt a strong sense of responsibility with the history and the themes of colonialism. I wanted to be as accurate as I possibly could.
The action scenes are intense. What were they like to film?
Each one took a lot of preparation and a lot of precision. I worked so much with the stunt team to make sure that we not only got it right for the movie but that no one got hurt.
Did you suffer any real injuries?
Just a few cuts and bruises, which you have to expect with something like this. I have been lucky enough to work in this genre a few times and so I trust my body and the people around me to meet the challenge. The stunt team really supported me and pushed me to do as much as I possibly could. It’s not every day you get to be a pirate.
