Youve had plenty of roles, but people know you best fromGame of Thrones.
Rose Leslie:I suppose, yes.
And when I heard that, I kind of just wept for joy.
I was jumping up and down; it was insane.
Being a British actor growing up, he is an icon.
He is so inspiring, and having went to drama school, he is the man.
That is the foundation, he is the pinnacle; hes up there.
And as a result youre like, What am I doing in project with him?
It sealed the deal.
But Im sure everybody else on set gave you the same feeling too.
They were great too, exactly, of course!
Sould that turn you away from the project?
Its always been there, but this is important.
The Internets ruined everything.
You cant search for anything anymore without running into some horrible things.
And also making people think about it as well and making it prominent in everyones mind, absolutely.
Also, its bloody boring to play the damsel in distress!
Wheres the joy in that?
No, get yourself out of that shit!
Thats what I wanted to hear!
I did some research prior to when we first started shooting.
But it threw me into a dark place for a while because it was so horrid!
I can imagine that you have to find that balance to where you want to see that world.
That world is the same with witches and humans living in the same planet.
Do you expect him to care more about the visuals than the performance for you?
I thought he was brilliant and had ever since having that first little Skype chat.
He loves to delve into rehearsals.
That collaboration was just superb with him.
When I came in, you had mentioned that youd never been to New York Comic Con.
Obviously youd done other Comic Cons before.
Is the experience kind of different doing it for film than for TV?
I have not done it yet!
[The panel is] later this afternoon.
ForThronesI did three years in a row in San Diego, and that was an amazing experience.
For maybe two seconds, I felt like I could be Mick Jagger, and that was just fabulous.
Its incredible to just immerse into that world of passionate people.
So, Im hugely proud to have been a part of that.
Its the same team of all the previous three seasons.
That is probably the best moment of my career.
The Last Witch Hunteris in theaters now.
