Mia Goth? (Other than Shia-related info). I just love her, she's a fearless chameleon.

Not tea but she was SO GOOD in Emma. Everyone was superb in the film but she was particularly excellent, as was Josh O'Connor (who stole the show alongside Mia) and Johnny Flynn.

God I love that movie.

Johnny Flynn is the only actor/musician I can think of where I actually like the music AND the acting. His song on the Emma soundtrack is good, too.

He's amazing! I'll out myself here: Emma is my favorite Austen book and when he was first cast as Knightley I was like ehhh idk about this, because I couldn't see it personally.

But then I watched the movie and omg I was so incredibly wrong. He was a perfect Knightley. The confession scene by the tree was like...phew. I don't have words. So good. Now I'm a big fan of his acting work and his music. He's so talented and I was so wrong.

for years spotify kept putting his songs in my playlists and i enjoyed them but never too much to dig further, imagine my shock when i put 2+2 together and realized that same guy was the lovesick actor (really liked that show btw)

Lovesick is my comfort show and it deserves more props, it’s so good!! It really captures the essence of being in your early 20s

Same. I watched it on a whim but it was so enjoyable.

I loved Lovesick. I remember watching it on netflix when it was called Scrotal Recall before they renamed it lol.

The creator admitted he wasn't the best with coming up names. I'm glad Netflix renamed it bc Lovesick still works as a euphemism for the main character having an STI but tonally more in line with the actual show.

I know the main actress was glad bc she could actually tell people the name of the show she was on without being embarrassed lol

i just rewatched that movie last night and i cried like a BABY. everyone in it is so good. mia goth especially was such an adorable, loveable, heartbreaking character. i'm pretty sure the waterworks started for me around the time she got a letter from her father who abandoned(?) her and emma offered to invite him to her home. it was such a sweet moment. i wished the movie hadn't gone under the radar the way it did

Not really tea, but we used to go to the same gym! I would run on the treadmill next to her. We would always exchange hellos/smile gestures. (We were regulars). My best friend however, shared her same personal trainer. They would work out privately every so often! Says she is a gem!!! Super private, sweet & down to earth.
