Don\u2019t let Antonia Campbell-Hughes\u2019s slightly fluffy role as Sam in Jack Dee\u2019s sitcom Lead Balloon deceive you; this girl means (show)business. As a youngster, Hughes moved to New York\u2019s Lower East Side to start her own fashion label and ended up designing a diffusion line for Topman. Disillusioned and creatively-undernourished in the industry, she fell into acting at 23 and has focused her efforts thusly, landing prominent roles in The Other Side of Sleep<\/a> and this month’s Albert Nobbs <\/a>– where the young starlet appears alongside Glenn Close<\/a>.<\/p>\n It depends. If it\u2019s my film \u2013 like this one I did recently called The Other Side of Sleep \u2013 where I\u2019m in every frame of it, then I\u2019ll watch it back, of course. They didn\u2019t want me to see any of it during filming though, so during it I didn\u2019t watch any playbacks. The role was quite method \u2013 it was beyond that in fact, complete immersion. I didn\u2019t really speak to anyone for three months because the character is a social recluse \u2013 I lived in squalor above a pub on a mattress. It had to be done to reach the level of intensity the role require though \u2013 the character was completely selfless; she hadn\u2019t even ever looked at herself in a mirror.<\/p>\n
