“It’s a real skill. I actually did six weeks of lessons. I had this wonderful lady come round and she was very diligent and I asked for a typewriter for Christmas,” James told Bang Showbiz.
“They (typewriters) are hard, with the keys there is a lot of pressure and my fingers got really muscly and I became really obsessive, I sort of thought if I could get the typing right it will be fine, all my anxiety went into the typing,” she added.
Darkest Hour in a British war drama featuring Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill.
