Lucy on “This Morning” (Video)
Star of ‘The Ipcress File’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Lucy Boynton joins a cast of famous faces in Hugh Laurie’s adaptation of Agatha Christie’s captivating murder-mystery ‘Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?’. The three-part series follows a vicar’s son and his adventurous friend, socialite Lady Frances ‘Frankie’ Derwent (Lucy Boynton) as they dig deep into a murder. But their amateur sleuthing brings no end of trouble their way. Lucy joins us in the studio to tell us why she can’t say no to an Agatha Christie saga, what it was like to be directed by Hugh Laurie and starring alongside Emma Thompson and Jim Broadbent.

Lucy Boynton: The super-shy superstar
YOU – Skyrocketing career, A-list partner, striking looks… you’d expect Bohemian Rhapsody star LUCY BOYNTON to have all the confidence in the world. But, she tells Hattie Crisell, it’s still a work in progress… PHOTOGRAPHS: RACHELL SMITH
Bohemian Rhapsody was the film that cemented Lucy Boynton’s status as a leading Hollywood actress. Playing Freddie Mercury’s partner and devoted best friend Mary Austin, Lucy received critical plaudits and award nominations, all while the film cleaned up at the box office– becoming the biggest biopic of all time. It felt like the ‘arrival moment’ for someone who has been working since she was just 12 years old.
Born in New York to British parents – the journalists Graham Boynton and Adriaane Pielou – Lucy was raised in South London along with her older sister Emma-Louise. (Coincidentally, Adriaane used to work for YOU magazine and brought Lucy into the office as a baby and would take her along to interviews.) Lucy, now 28, is exceptionally striking, with an artfully messy blonde bob, sharp, dark eyebrows and wide eyes. As an actor, she is a clotheshorse; on the red carpet, she’s routinely the best dressed. But on the Sunday morning that we meet, she is almost anonymous in a zip-up navy jumper, and confesses to being a bit anxious – she is decidedly not a show-off. Her mum’s experience has helped: ‘Hearing about interviews with actors from Mum’s point of view made me slightly less intimidated in the beginning – it just made the whole thing a bit more human,’ she says. ‘But I forget it all as soon as I walk into one because I get so nervous.’
She made her screen debut playing a young Beatrix Potter in the biopic Miss Potter. There followed roles in TV adaptations of Ballet Shoes and Sense & Sensibility, before she put the acting on hold to finish school.
