"I found a tiny shepherd's hut in the middle of nowhere, right by a forest. My driver was driving me up, and he was like, 'Are you going to be OK here?' I was like, 'Absolutely, this is totally my happy [place]. So I stayed there on my own.'"
"It was our first week of filming, and I remember I was on the 10th floor and my room had kind of bars across it. I was like, 'Oh, no, I can't stay here'."
"I look back at that time with so much... 'you are such a brave girl.' Objectively, I don't think I'd have the courage to do that now, but I wanted to be part of telling stories and be part of a world that told stories, and I didn't have any boundaries with it. If somebody was to open up a door... I'd be like, 'Oh yeah, what's in there?' And sometimes it was super dangerous, and I would fall off the edge of the cliff."
Jessie Buckley arrived in Herefordshire to film Hamnet and rejected a hotel on a roundabout for a tiny shepherd's hut by a forest, which she described as her happy place and occupied alone. Her assigned 10th-floor hotel room felt confining during the first week of filming. Buckley's ascent to starring opposite Paul Mescal in the Chloé Zhao-directed film spanned nearly two decades. She first appeared at 17 on Andrew Lloyd Webber's 2008 BBC talent competition I'd Do Anything, finished second, and used that experience to prepare for drama-school auditions, later completing a four-month Shakespeare course and recommitting to formal training.
