Jessica Brown Findlay discusses close friendship with Downton Abbey sisters Michelle Dockery and Laura Carmichael
October 19, 2020 - 14:55 BST Sharnaz Shahid It's been ten years since Jessica Brown Findlay arrived on our screens as the loveable Lady Sybil in Downton Abbey.
And despite leaving the period drama after three series, the actress has remained very close to her former castmates - in particular her on-screen sisters, Michelle Dockery and Laura Carmichael, who starred as Lady Mary and Lady Edith respectively.In a new interview with You Magazine, Jessica reminisced about her time on the popular ITV series."I often get very supportive and loving messages from Michelle and Laura," she said of their close-knit friendship.
"When I left the show, I had only just finished uni and I was so in that world still that Downton felt extraordinary, but also something that was happening while I was doing something completely different. That balance was really healthy for me. For a while after, I... distant is the wrong word, but I needed to go off and find a bit of my own identity."After Downton, Jessica went on to appear in the first series of Black Mirror and Winter's Tale.
"I was incredibly grateful for what Downton became and did, but it was my second job and I knew nothing about what I was doing," she later explained."I really wanted to learn more. I had so much more I wanted to go and learn." Make sure you never miss a story! Sign up to our newsletter to get all of our celebrity, royal and lifestyle news delivered directly to your inbox.
