Golden Globe-winning actress, 58, looks unrecognisable as she puffs on a cigarette in London amid filming The Girlfriend
As an ardent admirer of Robin Wright’s illustrious career, I find myself utterly captivated by her latest endeavor, The Girlfriend. This woman is a force to be reckoned with, and she continues to defy expectations at every turn.
Actress Robin Wright, known for her role in House of Cards, was spotted enjoying a respite during the filming of her forthcoming suspenseful series in London last Friday.
The 58-year-old Golden Globe winner appeared almost unrecognizable as she strolled down the street, smoking a cigarette in the heart of the U.K. capital, where she’s both directing and starring in The Girlfriend.
Widget wore a cozy cable-knit sweater of cream hue, matched elegantly with faded denim pants. She seemed deeply engaged in a lively phone discussion, gesturing animatedly as she strolled down the sidewalk.
Once she put out her cigarette by crushing it underfoot, she picked up a bag from off her shoulders, and then she found herself standing close to a line of bikes.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but feel a thrill when I see that the ex-wife of Sean Penn is basking in the short breaks between her captivating performance in the highly anticipated Amazon Prime series, based on Michelle Frances’ novel The Girlfriend. It’s all I can talk about!
Additionally starring in this production are Olivia Cooke, known for her roles in House of the Dragon and Sound of Metal, as well as Laurie Davidson from Mary and George, and Waleed Zuaiter, who appears in Gangs of London.
In a nutshell, the series narrative presents Laura (Wright) as a woman with an enviable lifestyle: a successful career, a devoted spouse named Howard (Zuaiter), and most treasured of all, her one-and-only son Daniel (Davidson). However, this seemingly idyllic existence is shattered when Daniel introduces Cherry (Cooke) into their lives, who ultimately alters everything.
Following an awkward initial encounter, Laura becomes increasingly certain that Cherry isn’t truthful about her identity. Though others can’t discern what she does, Laura feels compelled to prevent Daniel from being misled. She’s ready to go to great lengths to shield him. As events escalate from uncomfortable to potentially fatal, one must wonder: is Cherry a cunning social climber manipulating situations? Or is Laura overly suspicious and protective? Ultimately, the truth depends on one’s perspective.
In a recent announcement, Wright expressed his excitement saying, ‘I’m overjoyed to be both directing and acting in this tantalizing psychological thriller that’s brimming with unexpected plots and character transformations. It’s a privilege to collaborate with actors of such talent, Olivia and Laurie, along with an exceptional team overall… I can hardly wait!’
According to Vernon Sanders, the Head of Television at Amazon MGM Studios, “The Girlfriend” is a gripping family drama that delves into the deterioration of a mother-son relationship, using familiar themes such as love, avarice, and dominance to tell its story.
It’s exciting for us to collaborate with Imaginarium and Robin Wright as we bring Michelle Frances’ captivating tale to life for our worldwide Amazon Prime Video audience.
Wright has had experience with directing, having sat in the director’s seat for multiple episodes of the highly praised Netflix series, House of Cards, on which she also starred as a main character.
In the series, her performance garnered her a Golden Globe award and also resulted in six Emmy nominations for the category of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama.
Apart from House of Cards, Wright has also directed episodes for other popular series such as Tell Me Lies and Ozark.
On a large movie screen, she has mesmerized viewers with indelible portrayals in movies such as The Princess Bride, Forrest Gump, and Unbreakable.
Presently, there’s a growing excitement about Wright’s performance in the film ‘Here’. This project brings her together once more with her co-star from Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks, and director Robert Zemeckis.
In this narrative, we delve into the lives of various families spanning numerous generations, all sharing a common link – a particular location. This story mirrors the style of Richard McGuire’s graphic novel.
The movie unfolds entirely within a single house, with the camera stationary throughout its 104-minute duration, depicting the evolving narratives of its residents across a century’s span.
The film has already caused a stir, as it uses new hyperrealistic AI technology in order to digitally de-age and face-swap the actors in real time, instead of through post-production.
2025’s Oscar competition for Best Actress looks set to be fiercely challenging, as several impressive candidates emerge aside from Wright.
Notable performers who are garnering attention are Danielle Deadwyler in The Piano Lesson, Zendaya in Challengers, and Angelina Jolie in Maria. Their performances have sparked a lot of discussion due to their emotional depth.
In addition to creating a stir, Lady Gaga’s role in Joker: Folie à Deux is anticipated. Meanwhile, Demi Moore is being discussed for The Substance, and Nicole Kidman is garnering notice for her portrayal in Babygirl.
