Co-stars Comments

Keeley Hawes : She filmed Macbeth in the kitchen of a celebrity chef, with an all-male cast. "They're such boys," she says indulgently. "At one point, I'd been a bit naughty, having a giggle at James McAvoy, who played my husband, and Joseph Millson. Then it was my turn to do Lady Macbeth's slipping into madness speech. So they got me back by standing up behind the camera and mooning and bending over. I love having a laugh like that."
