5 MINUTES WITH...

Daisy Lewis

We spoke with Daisy Lewis, the triple threat Actress, Writer and Director, about how she is keeping sane during the lockdown.

WHERE ARE YOU WRITING THIS FROM?

My house in London

 

WHERE WILL YOU GO AS SOON AS THE QUARANTINE ENDS?

The Theatre

 

WHAT QUOTE/ MANTRA / MINDFULNESS GO TO IS GETTING YOU THROUGH THIS?

A day at a time – definitely. Reminding myself to be grateful at how lucky I am to have a house, to be in good health for today, and that we live in a country where we have an NHS

 

WHAT IS KEEPING YOU LAUGHING?

How mad I am! I have been doing the most insane things. This is the first time in a couple of days I have got dressed and put any makeup on! The way I am talking to my dog. The fridge - I will go to the fridge have a look, realise there is nothing I want, and go back five minutes later and expect to find something other than the food that was there five minutes before. Madness, completely mad. 

 

WHAT WON’T YOU EVER TAKE FOR GRANTED AGAIN POST QUARANTINE? 

Hugs, my family…..sex (can I say that?)

 

WHAT SMALL BUSINESSES ARE YOU LOVING AND WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A SHOUT TO?

All of the independent coffee shops around my area, in Bethnal Green, who I love and hope they will make it through this. There is one just down the road called May & Harvey which I particularly like.

 

WHAT RESTAURANT WILL BE YOUR FIRST MEAL POST QUARANTINE?

I don’t actually think I will go a restaurant; I think I will invite a whole load of friends to come round for dinner

  

WE ARE CALLED THE DECK – WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE CARD GAME?

Bridge – because I am 400 years old apparently! 

 

WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING ON NETFLIX?

Tiger King, and now Unorthodox actually. It’s really good.

 

WHAT ARE YOU READING?

I am reading a book by Anne Lamott called “Bird by Bird”. She is kind of amazing on hope, spirituality and writing. This book is actually about writing as that is what I am doing at the moment 

 

SUIT OF YOUR DREAMS? 

Bianca Jagger’s wedding suit 100%

 

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR SKINCARE REGIME? THE PRODUCTS YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT?

At the moment its soap and water! But it’s a posh soap….a soap by a man called Obaji which I am loving as I have very temperamental skin, highly neurotic (a lot like me!)

 

YOUR GO TO VITAMINS?

Fish oils, B12, Vitamin C I get from fruit and veg. I am also taking CLAs

 

HOW ARE YOU KEEPING YOUR KIDS ENTERTAINED? 

My kid is a small furry animal called Reggie. I am keeping her entertained by reading her large swathes of Shakespeare actually, Dickens as well. She is quite fussy.

 

WHAT IS YOUR HOME WORKOUT OF CHOICE?  

I have just got a stationary bike which I have been doing 20 minutes on that. But I really really like the Pop Sugar videos by Jake DuPree
