Juno has been featured on the online platform sbjct, as an interesting subject:) The interview featured a lot of great, high quality photos, which were all made public, and that’s a really nice gift for us fans. Here are the pictures, and the interview is following them at the bottom of this post.
British actress Juno Temple stars in Woody Allen’s latest film, ’Wonder Wheel’, out in theatres today. We caught up with the 28-year old ingénue to learn about her acting roots and the lessons she’s taken away from working with some of Hollywood’s greats.
