Meghann Fahy and Eve Hewson, two of the stars of Netflix’s whodunit “The Perfect Couple,” have been making waves in Hollywood for more than a decade.
Fahy and Hewson have worked on various TV shows and films over the years, but it’s their recent roles in acclaimed series like “The White Lotus” and “Bad Sisters” that have truly showcased their talent.
Susanne Bier, who directed “The Perfect Couple,” has praised Fahy and Hewson, calling them “big stars” with “proper, profound star quality.”
Hewson, 33, known for her famous father Bono, has a string of exciting projects lined up, including a new season of “Bad Sisters,” a film with Noah Baumbach, and a series with Steven Spielberg.
Fahy, 34, is currently working on a limited series with Julianne Moore and Milly Alcock, as well as two upcoming films.
The two actors recently shared their experiences in the industry and talked about their journey to success. Here are some highlights from their conversation:
AP: What’s it like to now be a part of conversations about whom to watch?
Fahy: Part of it feels really nice because you work really, really, really hard for a really long time. So, of course, it feels really good, but I try not to dwell on any of it.
HEWSON: You hear so many stories of people who were like, “I walked into my first audition and I just became a star.” But we’ve been doing this for a long time. People just don’t really tell those stories. It’s usually about the one that was found on the street.
AP: Do you notice you’re now treated differently by people in the industry?
Fahy: Yeah, but I always think that nobody ever knows who I am. It’s always very embarrassing. I don’t always feel like I fit in those rooms.
HEWSON: What’s nice is, I’ve spent so long going into a room and people just being like, “OK.” I know at least like I have work that people understand, what I’m doing a little bit more so they get me as an actor.
Fahy: It’s like a different level of respect.
