Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday sit down podcast.

And I've got another good one for you.

If I do say so myself, actress Claire Foy, you know her playing the clean on the Netflix

hit series The Crown, a role for which she won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe.

She played the part for two seasons now as the queen gets older as the show moves along.

She will not be back for seasons three and four.

Some of the fans said put a prosthetic on her, give her a gray wig and let her keep going.

You'll let her address that in the conversation how she feels about handing the crown over

to someone else.

We got together here in New York City as she releases a new film in a completely different

kind of role.

You know the Steeve Larson's book Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?

Well the latest film based on that millennium trilogy is The Girl in the Spider's Web.

And now Claire Foy is taking on that iconic role of Lisbeth Solander.

She is if I may say the badass character.

She's got the tattoos, she's got the piercings, incredible fight scenes.

She even had to learn a Swedish accent for the part.

Completely different from any way you've ever seen her and she really owns it.

She also in our conversation talks about her childhood growing up in the UK and major

health scare in her teens that really changed her life and how she looked at the world.

Also as she was recovering a brief time she took just to get away here in New York City

to tell you how that went.
