Ep 82: Charlie Murphy

Everyone is talking about Netflix’s erotic thriller, Obsession - from the pillow humping scene to the plot twists - and today we are joined by the show’s star, Charlie Murphy.  If you haven’t watched it yet, Obsession - based on the book Damage by Josephine Hart, follows Charlie’s character Anna as she embarks on a racy affair with her fiance’s dad, William - played by Richard Armitage - who absolutely loses his head.  You’ll also recognise Charlie from playing Ann Gallagher in Happy Valley, I am sure we will NEVER forget that season where Ann was kidnapped, what a performance that was! Charlie also played Jessie Eden in Peaky Blinders, but it hasn’t always been plain sailing career-wise, and in this episode Charlie shares the life lesson she’s learned from being unemployed and watching ‘Cash In The Attic’, which is actually very philosophical!  We also talk about how empowering it was for Charlie to film a TV show where women orchestrate sex on screen, and whilst we are discussing the sheer number of injuries she got from shooting said scenes, her co-star Richard Armitage gatecrashes the interview. So there is plenty of action in this episode!  I loved chatting to Charlie and I’d love to hear what you think, too, I LOVE a chat with you. I’m @JoshSmithHosts on socials.

Om Podcasten

Hi babes! I’m Josh Smith and welcome to Reign! I am a journalist and presenter, and in each episode of my podcast, you’ll hear me sit down with some favourite familiar faces to talk about the ways they have learnt to reign over their own lives.    I’m so lucky to have chatted to stars from the big and small screens, from sport to music and beyond, and in every conversation there’s one thing that is apparent: we will ALL have to deal with challenges at some point in our lives. The conversations we have on Reign show that we're all more similar than we are different, and what I love most is finding out how different people get through tough times, go on to turn negatives into positives, and share the lessons that we can all learn from! I also love a good giggle, and this podcast is full of them!    So thanks so much for being here, I am so happy to have you, and I hope you’re ready to feel uplifted, inspired, and you’re ready to make it Reign!    Love, Josh xx
