She played a child in Atonement, a rebel in St Trinian’s – and has now finally come of age in Martin Scorsese’s Vinyl. She talks about famous friends, on-screen nudity and being a ‘quirky weirdo’

Juno Temple sits down in a Los Angeles coffee shop, a bundle of energy in a comfy tracksuit, headphones around her neck and waves of blond hair piled on her head like a pineapple. She orders an almond milk latte, and apologises in advance for any strange scratching that may occur, because she was bitten by mosquitoes during the night. “And there’s one bite on my back that is so bad, I had to scratch it with a fork to reach it. I was really getting my Baloo the bear on.” A fork? “Well, a plastic one – I wasn’t aiming for actual bloodshed. I once used a fork to comb my hair,” Temple says, “because there was a time when I didn’t own a hairbrush. I can’t remember what film I was shooting, but I was staying in a hotel in London – and the fork worked! I felt like Ariel,” she adds, wistfully, meaning the Disney mermaid. “God,” she says, seeing my fascination at these cutlery improv situations, “you’re never going to let me live forks down, are you?”

Juno Temple was never going to be cast as the high school sweetheart, but as the star of HBO’s new drama, Vinyl, she’s got something much more exciting up her sleeve…

If New York City needs a new tourism ambassador to replace Taylor Swift, then the Big Apple should look to Juno Temple. The 26-year-old actress may be London-born, Somerset-bred and a resident of Los Angeles but since spending six months filming in New York she has fallen for the city, hard. It’s not that Juno’s tired of the West coast, just that the East offers something different. “Los Angeles is all about the entertainment industry,” she explains. “Not that that’s a bad thing, I’ve been here seven years and have had a great time. But I really felt in New York that it’s such a minestrone soup of different people and backgrounds and ideas and jobs. I found it very thrilling to walk into a bar and find it not just full of people from the entertainment industry.”

From executive producers Martin Scorsese (who directed the pilot), Mick Jagger and Terence Winter, the new HBO drama series Vinyl (which has already been picked up for a second season), set in 1970s New York, is a ride through the sex-and-drug-addled music business at the dawn of punk, disco and hip-hop. And it’s all seen through the eyes of record label president Richie Finestra (Bobby Cannavale), who is trying to save his company and his soul without destroying everyone in his path. The series also stars Olivia Wilde, Ray Romano, Juno Temple, James Jagger, Ato Essandoh, Max Casella, P.J. Byrne, Jack Quaid, J.C. MacKenzie, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen and Paul Ben-Victor.

During this exclusive phone interview with Collider, actress Juno Temple (who plays Jamie, an ambitious assistant in the A&R Department of American Century whose passion for music could possibly help propel her career) talked about being in awe of her character, auditioning for Martin Scorsese, being directed by him for the pilot, what made this one of the most fulfilling experiences of her life, what makes her character so ambitious, whether she’s really that fearless, what she personally thinks of The Nasty Bits, and how excited she is to learn about where things will go in Season 2.

From Olivia Wilde to Bobby Cannavale to Ray Romano, HBO’s Vinyl is filled with stars — but it’s a lesser-known name who steals the show.

Juno Temple makes her television debut in the 1970s-set music drama from Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger as Jamie, a feisty, cutthroat assistant at a struggling record label. Determined to stand out in a man’s world, she’s hand-picked a band (“The Nasty Bits,” whose lead singer is played by Jagger’s son, James Jagger) that’s caught the attention of her boss. Now, she’s banking on them getting her that promotion.

Up to this point, the London-born Temple, 26, has lined her résumé with films (most recently Meadowland, opposite Wilde, and Black Mass), but it was the pilot script from Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire, The Wolf of Wall Street) that drew the actress to the medium she says she once eschewed.

“Dude, can I be honest? I think television is where it’s at,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “They’re making the bravest choices. F—king hell, it’s really cool. I’m really excited to be a part of a TV show.”

Ahead of the drama’s fourth episode, Temple talks to THR about her obsession with the ‘70s, working with Scorsese and Jagger and why she doesn’t mind being one of the lone women on the show.
