Claire Foy and Matt Smith Have a "Crown" Reunion at the Critics' Choice Awards
Claire Foy and Matt Smith may no longer star as Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II in 'The Crown,' but the duo reunited at the Critics' Choice Awards on January 15. Foy's film "Women Talking" was Best Picture, and Smith was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Daemon Targaryen in "House of the Dragon."
Foy and Smith portrayed Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in the first and second seasons of 'The Crown', depicting the early days of the late Queen's time on the throne. Shortly after the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8, 2022, Foy paid tribute in an interview with the BBC at the Toronto Film Festival. "I think she was an amazing monarch," Foy said. "She united people and she was a huge symbol of continuity, dignity and grace. My main feeling is just thinking of her as a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, really. I'm very honored to have been a tiny, tiny part of its history."
Meanwhile, Smith commemorated the death of Prince Philip on April 9, 2021 in a statement provided to The Hollywood Reporter. "Prince Philip was the man. And he knew it. 99+, but what a sleeve. And what a style," he wrote. "Thank you for your service mate - it won't be the same without you."
In 2017, Foy opened up to POPSUGAR about the pressures of such a big role. "You're playing scenes with the most powerful people in the country, so if you were to sit and think, 'Okay, I'm going to think about the enormity of the role I'm taking on,' you probably wouldn't be able to get up on your feet. morning," she said. "I think you just have to take each day as it comes, and then you end up getting on set the first day, and it all just kind of comes together. The costume, the wig, the voice, the movement, the relationships...and then we went on, I guess. We did everything we could to make it happen."
At the time, Smith echoed Foy's thoughts, telling POPSUGAR that he tried not to think too much about the importance of the role he was playing. "There's a bit of trepidation I guess, but I'm proud of it, absolutely," he said of his performance. "I think it's good quality work. You do so much research and so much thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, and then you stop thinking. You start doing. C is all."
Check out some photos from the duo's upcoming reunion.
