Rose Leslie and Theo James talk HBO's new romance drama TheTimeTravelersWife, breaking down everything from meeting the love of your life when you're 6 to working with an intimacy coordinator for scenes with only yourself:
In 2003, Audrey Niffenegger wrote The Time Traveler's Wife, a novel that embedded itself into the genres of sci-fi and romance forevermore. Hints of its plot crop up in movies and fanfics alike, and there was even a widely-discussed film adaptation starring Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams. Nearly two decades after the original book, HBO is premiering a television adaption spanning 6 episodes that dissects the tale of love and time more in-depth.
I think that's so true, and it's a good reminder for myself, because I do exactly that. I worry about the future, and I worry about the past. But living in the moment is the only time that really matters. Given the world we live in now - the complicated world we live in and everything - there's a lot of things online and a lot of distractions. I think it's a good message for everyone.
But I found it tricky because, normally with a scene, you do what you want, and it evolves. Essentially, you feel what's right. But the problem was that, with filming, you didn't want to trap yourself into certain corners. If on one day I would play the older Henry, we would be doing part of the scene and perhaps older Henry would interact in a certain way.
What I find so fascinating about The Time Traveler's Wife is the concept of building your life around someone, which is what both of them have done. It's both romantic and terrifying, especially for Clare, who's been doing this since she was six. How do you approach that aspect of the romance, balancing the almost toxic nature of a time travel love with the destiny aspect?
By the time that she's at the end of her 20s and they're married, and even prior to their marriage, she has accepted the fact that she is in this for the long haul and that she loves him no matter what. I leaned in heavily to the words, what I was saying, and trying my utmost to do them justice. Because I felt very fortunate in knowing that everything that I felt I should portray was right there in front of me.
Theo, got to work with the younger actors. How did you approach working with young Henry and young Clare, especially in the emotional scenes? Rose Leslie: I hope that it's a lovely escapism for people who feel the incredibly difficult world that we're all now currently living in. With Ukraine, there's hopefully a little bit of escapism with something that is light and at times farcical.
One of the great things about a series instead of a movie is how much you get to explore other dynamics outside of the primary relationship. For each of you, what is one dynamic that you really liked diving into? With this show, every time I think of time travel, I'll think of Theo James showing up somewhere completely naked. But you worked with the intimacy coordinator on that aspect of the show. How was it working with them and playing with that aspect of Henry's time travel?
When he goes, it has physical and detrimental effects on his body. It's like an epileptic fit. He gets thrown through time. The other side of it, he's covered in sweat. He's depleted; he's hungry; he's naked. He has nothing on him. Not a weapon, not a wallet, not a pair of underwear. [I wanted to show] what that would feel like, and how dangerous that would be.
