Jones is keeping up with current affairs
FELICITY Jones has been keeping an eye on the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination hearings. She feels that, with present political leaders in the U.S., ‘there’s not a lot of hope at the moment’.
Part of the reason the actress cares so much is because she plays future Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in a film called On The Basis Of Sex.
‘It’s incredibly relevant, and I feel Ruth brings hope. She is someone who has real integrity — definitely something we’re lacking,’ Ms Jones told me from the set of director Tom Harper’s film The Aeronauts, which reunites her with Eddie Redmayne — her costar in the award-winning The Theory Of Everything.
Jones described Ginsburg as a ‘true force’ who stuck by her beliefs ‘from the very beginning’.
As an attorney back in the Seventies, Ginsburg made the Supreme Court understand that there really was such a thing as sex discrimination.
