InStyle: On top of promoting your new movie, you’ve just starred in the Red Nose Day shoot for TK Maxx, what drew you to the campaign?
Billie: I just think Red Nose Day has such creative ways of raising money and I’m always really thrilled when I’m asked to participate. It also means you get to work with some really amazing people.IS: You were working with Rankin and other stars on the shoot, what were the highlights?
B: Everyone was really geared up for the shoot which makes for a joyous atmosphere. It was also great to catch up with Pearl and Daisy [Lowe] – we have a lot of mutual friends. Me and Pearl chatted about raising kids. It’s nice to spend time with another mother, and chat about how draining it can be, have a moan – a funny moan!IS: You recently starred in City Of Tiny Lights, what drew you back to films after such a long break?
B: The timing was just right. I’ve always been locked into a series, and now was the right time to sit back and read scripts. I like the fact this one was from emerging talent – that’s the direction I want to go in next. It was made on a really small budget and that just seems to make shooting really exciting and testing; there was a nice circus, all in it together type of feel because of Pete [Travis, director]. I also love that it’s a script about young people in London in the ‘90s with a serious thriller twist. And then of course there was the opportunity to work with Riz [Ahmed]…
