10 Things You Didn't Know About Felicity Jones

At last, the question on everyone's lips has been answered! At least, the Star Wars-related question. The one related to the Star Wars spin-off films. Which were strongly rumoured amidst the news that Disney had bought the rights to George Lucas's space opera franchise of diminishing returns, and finally confirmed a while ago now. Then the slow drip of news came through, with American Pie and The Golden Compass's Chris Weitz in line to write one of the multiple spin-offs, and Godzilla director Gareth Edwards all set up to direct. That was all anyone knew, however, with the rumours as to their plots being everything from a Young Han Solo story to a bounty hunter team up. Now there's been some further official word: Weitz is writing Edwards' film, it'll be called Star Wars: Rogue One, and it's going to star British actress Felicity Jones. Jones has recently been in the headlines thanks to her supporting role in the Oscar-winning Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory Of Everything. Before that, though, she was a relative unknown, who's mainly worked on stage and screen in small roles throughout her native UK. So what's the deal with this new Star Wars recruit? Where did she come from? And who is her acting BFF? All these questions and more answered in the ten things you didn't know about Felicity Jones.
