Emma Thompson & Lashana Lynch Share Cute Moments With Alisha Weir at 'Matilda The Musical' Premiere in London

Emma Thompson & Lashana Lynch Share Cute Moments With Alisha Weir at 'Matilda The Musical' Premiere in London

Emma Thompson picks up her young co-star Alisha Weir in a cute hug during the Matilda The Musical photocall in London on Wednesday afternoon (October 5).

The two actors were joined by co-stars Lashana Lynch, Sindhu Vee, and Stephen Graham, for the press conference, which was just a few hours ahead of the official premiere, which kicked off the 2022 BFI London Film Festival at The Royal Festival Hall.

Based on the Roald Dahl novel of the same name, the movie centers on Matilda, an extraordinary girl armed with a sharp mind and a vivid imagination, dares to take a stand against her oppressive parents and head teacher to change her story with miraculous results.

Speaking at the panel, Lashana, who plays Miss Honey, shared she had some real life inspiration in a mentor of her own.

“She was a Black woman who taught me how to be confident and to be myself,” she said. “So I thought Miss Honey is just that. She’s just here for children to give them their best selves in the most organic, sweet way.”

Matilda The Musical will open in theaters on December 9.
