Lily James has learned just how much she values her female friendships during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 32-year-old actress has grown close to her 'The Pursuit of Love' co-star Emily Beecham after filming the drama during lockdown, during which she reached out to all of her pals online, strengthening her bond with them all.
In an interview with Closer magazine, she said: "The endless Zooms we've had in lockdown have made us see what female friendship means to us and the impact on our lives. We all need each other. And 'The Pursuit of Love' is really about two girls and their friendship - they're soul mates. I think girl friendships can be the most vital in your life."
