In a recent interview, Louis Partridge and Leila George, stars of the thrilling new series “Disclaimer,” shared their experiences working alongside the acclaimed Cate Blanchett. Leila, who portrays Cate’s younger self, had high praise for the actress, describing her as incredibly warm and down-to-earth. “She made it clear that I could ask her anything about my role, and I knew she would respond thoughtfully,” Leila said.
Despite working in different timelines, Leila and Louis didn’t get the chance to share the screen with Cate; however, they noted that Cate was always attentive to their needs during script readings and promotions. “Cate is so graceful and kind; she truly sets an example for fellow actors,” Louis admired.
Louis, who has risen to fame for his role in the “Enola Holmes” series, recalled the opening scene of “Disclaimer,” which features a bold intimate moment. He laughed while discussing it, saying, “We premiered the series at the Venice Film Festival, and I thought I was used to seeing myself nude. But watching with a crowd on a big screen was quite shocking, although a bit exciting as well!”
In his role as a backpacker in the series, Louis revealed his genuine love for solo travel. “After filming wrapped, I literally threw a bag on my back and traveled to Thailand without any plans. I met amazing people and saw beautiful places; it was an incredible experience.”
When discussing their time filming in Italy, both Louis and Leila couldn’t contain their excitement. “It felt like a vacation!” they exclaimed. “After work, the entire crew would hit the beach and indulge in delicious Italian cuisine. Just the thought of finishing work and immediately diving into pizza and pasta brought us such happiness—it’s a job like no other.”
