Word of praise

Grammy winner Dua Lipa will be seen in shades of grey in the upcoming film Argylle and the movie’s director said when the singer came on board she proved to be a ‘true professional, punctual and dedicated’. Lips plays Argylle’s elegant, lethal nemesis, Lagrange. She is an international terrorist, working for the highest bidder.

About her role, Lipa says, “I was starting to put out feelers that I wanted to do a film at some point, and Matthew got in touch. I was excited but nervous because I had never done anything like this before. I feel like she is definitely my alter ego. I’m going to take her with me after this everywhere I go.”

Thrilled about working with Vaughn on such a fresh, innovative take on the spy-thriller genre, she says, “What I love about Matthew is he’s always out there pushing boundaries. There are incredible stunts and fight scenes, but there is also this disco element that has been intertwined. .” Lipa was exactly what the role needed and what Vaughn had been hoping to find. He said: “I needed to cast someone who could hold her own opposite Henry Cavill and embody the world of the classic spy.
