Lily James is promoting her new movie Swiped about the founder of dating app Bumble and she’s explaining why she felt “guilty” taking on the role.
The 36-year-old actress spoke out in a new interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday (September 15) in New York City.
Lily explained how she’s never been on a dating app, so she felt “guilty” playing Whitney Wolfe Herd .
“I didn’t dabble [in dating apps]. I haven’t. And I feel kind of guilty and a bit of a fake playing the creator of these apps having never really done it, but I did steal my friend’s phone in preparation for this film, for ‘research,’” Lily said.
Lily said her brother actually met his wife on a dating app though!
