Felicity Jones has described how having a “feminist” husband makes married life “so much easier”.
The British actress and director Charles Guard became engaged in May 2017, with the couple tying the knot at a castle in Gloucestershire, England last June (18).
While Felicity usually prefers to keep her personal life out of the public eye, in an interview with U.K. Marie Claire magazine she spoke about how she and her husband function as a team and are always supportive of each other’s endeavours.
“I’ve really enjoyed being married so far. It’s about healthy communication, and particularly with busy careers, it’s about how you find that balance,” she said. “We’ve been quite lucky in the sense that we’ve managed to be in the same country at the same time – being in the same industry definitely helps, and having similar interests.
"I believe that to be a feminist doesn’t mean you have to do it all on your own; the partnership, the sharing, that makes it so much easier. But you have to be on the same side. You have to be with a man who is also a feminist.”
In some ways, Felicity’s partnership with Charles reflects the relationship of the two central figures in her new film On the Basis of Sex.
Directed by Mimi Leder, the biographical drama is based on the early life and cases of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
