GREEN LIGHT FOR A FUTURE IN POLITICS?
MODEL, actress, entrepreneur — and politician? Perhaps . . . Lily has maintained a close relationship with the Green Party and has given a talk at its annual conference.
In an interview in 2015, she said she was inspired by the Greens — and when asked if she’d consider a career in public life, replied somewhat cryptically: ‘I don’t feel inspired by contemporary British politics. But I’m inspired on a bigger level about human beings’ work.’
Not all her work inspires her, however. Lily’s own small, but memorable, role as a bookish schoolgirl called Polly, the Geek, in the 2007 movie remake of St Trinian’s is not remembered fondly.
She remarked afterwards that she ‘wasn’t really committed to the character’.
