IUntil 31-year-old
British actress
Felicity Jones shared
a bed with Stephen
Hawking (er, Eddie
Redmayne) in this
month’s The Theory
of Everything, she
only shared an alma
mater with the
physicist: Oxford. “I
guess people see me
as a bit of a nerd,” says
Jones, who plays the
young Mrs. Hawking.
We asked her about
her BWOC days.
—NOJAN AMINOSHAREI
You filmed on a
campus. Did it
feel like college?
Yeah! Although our
parties were much
more debauched.
Like, people rolling
around on top of one
another on the lawn.
Time well spent.
Oh God, I didn’t have
a clue who I was.
I had my fun, but I now
wish I’d spent more
time reading.
You met Stephen
Hawking on set.
Biggest takeaway?
He’s so funny.
Incredibly sharp
wit—something he
and [my character]
Jane share. A very
dry sense of humor.
We read rumors
that you’re
Amazing Spider-
Man’s Black Cat.
Being vacuum-packed
into a leather suit,
doing backflips?!
I’d love that. Can you
start a petition for me?
