"Hi there everyone! Ella Wiseman here. I play Juliet Capulet in the upcoming remake of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. This is the official YouTube channel for the movie, where you'll get to see exclusive behind the scene videos, interviews and even some fun challenges done by the whole cast.
For our first video, the official twitter, at romeoandjulietmovie, tweeted for you guys to send in your questions for me. We've rounded up 10 of your questions and I'll be answering them now. Enjoy!"
#1. What made you want to play Juliet?
"Oh gosh. That's a good question. Um, I don't know, honestly. I mean, in between filming Harry Potter movies, I started doing online college courses for theatre and such, which is what I originally planned to do once the HP franchise ended, but then I was casted on Game of Thrones and my movie and TV career just got bigger and bigger. But my theatre roots have always been there and I have a strong love for Shakespeare, so I just couldn't say no. Does that make sense?" *laughs*
#2. Which movie/TV show has been your favorite to film so far?
"Oh no! Don't make me choose! Well, obviously I love Game of Thrones, mainly because it's one of those shows where anything can happen and also because we have such a big cast that is always coming and going. We're all friends and we're all one big family. It's simply wonderful to go back and film each season because it's like returning home to visit my extended family. And of course I loved doing Harry Potter because it gave me my acting experience. Aside from those, though, I have enjoyed working on some of the smaller, indie movies I've done. There's quite a few, you guys can check my imdb. Also, Me Before You and Cinderella have been wonderful to film. I guess you could say everything I've done is a joy!"
#3. How do you deal with hate?
"Just ignore. Same goes for when somebody is bullying you. All they want is a reaction and if you give it to them, they've won. Just ignore them and when they realize it doesn't effect you, they'll leave you alone."
#4. Malfoy or Neville?
"Why would you ask that?! Neville all the way!"
#5. Do you think Aaliyah is going to die? If so, how?
"Okay, just so everybody knows, this answer is theoretical because if I were to know how and if Aaliyah dies then I wouldn't be allowed to say. So please take this answer with a grain of salt and do not start saying I confirmed it, okay? As far as "does she" goes, I can't say, but I always thought about how. Back when Robb was killed, I was sure she was going to kill herself to be with him. And we've seen what she's gone through since, the whole thing with Joffery and Margery, so I thought maybe Margery would kill her. In her current surroundings with Danerys and her people, my dream death for Aaliyah, which is weird to say, would be her in a fight and dying for her new family. Or maybe she dies at the hands of a Stark, I wouldn't mind that either. I love Aaliyah but she betrayed Robb!"
#6. Favorite part of filming Romeo and Juliet?
"Besides our phenomenal cast and crew, I think playing this iconic character is probably one of the best feelings in the world. That and being able to work with Matthew for a third time, which I know is cliche and cheesy."
#7. Blonde or brunette?
"I'm assuming you mean my hair, in which case I choose blonde. Blonde is my natural hair colour. I dyed it for the first few seasons I was on of Game of Thrones, but for season 6 and now season 7 I've been wearing a wig."
#8. When you were little, did you ever think that you and Matthew would start dating?
"Define young." *laughs* "No, but seriously, when we first met before filming the first Harry Potter movie, we were both really young so obviously we weren't thinking about relationships. By the time we got to filming The Deathly Hallows I think I started to feel for him but he was like my best friend at the time and I was afraid to lose that. I'm definitely really really glad that things worked out."
#9. Richard Madden vs. Matthew Lewis in a duel for your heart. Who would win?
"Matthew has already won my heart so there's no competition there. Besides, Richard is happy with Jenna. They're both too cute for their owngood."
#10. When will the rest of the cast be revealed?!?!?!?!
"Whoa, calm down! The rest of the cast will be revealed next week. Stay tuned to our Youtube channel for the announcements."
