Ferguson’s acting in Swedish movies
https://www.instagram.com/p/Becckqunpyd/?taken-by=_rebeccaferguson_ Ferguson started to make strides in the film industry after appearing as a part of several Swedish projects. One of her first films was “Strandvaskaren”, which was a Swedish horror slasher film meaning Drowning Ghost. The film was released in 2012, but it wasn’t until three years later that she was cast as Ilsa Faust, who would become the lead in “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation”, the fifth film of the series, produced by J. J. Abrams. Her performance in the film gained a lot of critical acclaim and went on to be commercially successful at the box office. She was reportedly hand-picked by Tom Cruise himself after seeing her performance in the film “The White Queen”. Her performance also led her to be re-cast in the sixth “Mission: Impossible” film set to release in 2018. Other notable films Ferguson has appeared in include the cold war thriller “Despite the Falling Snow” in which she played dual roles; the film was shot in Belgrade, Serbia and she would win a Prague Independent Film Festival award for Best Actress for her performance, and the film also won two other awards at the Festival. She worked on “Florence Foster Jenkins” too, alongside Meryl Streep in the biographical film. Ferguson was also a part of the film adaptation of “The Girl on the Train” which is based on Paula Hawkins’ debut novel of the same name, also starring Emily Blunt, and which received mixed reviews despite being successful in the box office.

Another project that Rebecca worked on is the film “Life”, alongside Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal, which follows the International Space Station and its six-member crew discovering the first evidence of life on Mars. The film was criticized for its lack of originality, but received praise for its acting and writing, making it successful at the box office. Rebecca also appeared in the crime film “The Snowman” opposite Michael Fassbender, about a detective who tries to find the identity of a killer who uses snowmen as his calling card, but it was unsuccessful both with critics and at the box office. She redeemed herself in the musical drama “The Greatest Showman”, starring Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron, playing the role of Swedish soprano Jenny Lind. The film received several nominations during the 75th Golden Globe Awards and won the Award for Best Original Song. It is the fifth-highest grossing live-action musical of all time despite some mixed reviews.

Quotes
#Quote1[on what inspired her to become an actress] I wasn't brought up in the acting world-my father is a lawyer. But as a teenager, I had the opportunity to audition for this television series: a daytime soap opera. And I got the lead part. I had just finished ninth grade in school, so I skipped what we called gymnasium and started working instead. And realized that this is a life I can see myself living.2At an early age, singing was something I found fun, but I never saw myself as a singer. My mother was in the avant-garde of cultural life in Sweden. She actually helped to translate ABBA's 'Waterloo' from Swedish to English. Remember the woman sitting cross-legged on a chair on the album's cover? That was my mom with the band-and they were wearing her clothes. How cool is that? And she didn't save any of it.3[on when she heard about the job in (2015)] I was on a camel! In the desert. In Ouarzazat [Morocco]. Filming (2014) for Lifetime. I had just popped over to London to meet to see if the chemistry worked and 12 hours later I'm back on the camel, wrapping up production and I got a phone call. They say: 'You've got the next lead!' So I'll be back in Ouarzazat but on a motorbike! And there I was a month later.4[on if she feels Swedish] I do. And I feel English as well which is why I like the combination when I can do an English film and speak a bit of Swedish. It's a mish-mash. My mum's English and my father's Swedish. But I feel sort of French when I'm in France even though I have no connection to it! I think I remind myself of Ilsa [her character in (2015)] in that because I adapt and I think that's the world we live in as well - doors are more open now thank God.5I've been very lucky to have strong women characters to play.6I need challenging roles. I look forward to reading a script where I call my agent and go, 'What the f**k are you thinking? Of course I can't do this!' I'd like to be uncomfortable and challenge that.7[on doing her own stunts in (2015)] Jumping off a rooftop is one thing, but having your legs wrapped around makes it a bit easier.8[on her inspiration to play Ilsa Faust in (2015)] I looked at a lot. There's a gracefulness there that I wanted to bring in. Mission is fast and action-packed and intense and modern, so to be able to balance that with the input of something classic-it's a beautiful mixture.
