O'Connell's insightful encounter with fielder-civil Sheds
The star of Ferrari, Jack O'Connell, says that despite their turbulent past, meeting Blake Fielder-Civil opened his eyes to the intricacy of their relationship with Amy Winehouse.
According to O'Connell, Fielder-Civil was honest enough to own up to his shortcomings and this candor struck a chord with the actor, as PEOPLE can learn. "He's just very honest about his fallibility, and I think that's his strength," O'Connell states. However, he would simply light up and sparkle whenever he talked about Amy, which convinced me that whatever was going on between them was really real. That was rather educational, then.
O'Connell found Fielder-Civil to be extremely candid and approachable during the preparation process for the post. "He was constantly ready to chat and talk more throughout the whole shooting process," said the actor. In order to fully immerse O'Connell in the world of the pair, Fielder-Civil even put up a playlist of songs, which gave him a wealth of knowledge about their dynamic.
O'Connell was able to see Fielder-Civil's point of view more thoroughly as a result of these exchanges, which illuminated the subtleties of their connection that go beyond the sensationalized news. It's evidence of the nuanced nature of interpersonal relationships, in which vulnerability and the truth frequently lurk beneath the surface of public opinion.
