Ben Whishaw on Brexit, Beards and Life After 'The Crucible'
I know you’re familiar with working on location and being far away for long times, but was it strange being here in New York when the Brexit vote was happening in the U.K.?
Yeah, it’s been really strange to be at a distance from it. I was away as well when the attacks happened on the London underground in 2005, and I remember watching that from overseas and feeling similarly attached and frightened and wanting to be back home, which is what I sort of feel at the moment, really. I feel like I would like to be back home even though it’s splintering apart. I feel like I want to be with my country, and I will be soon.
