The two young starlets first met while shooting Pride and Prejudice and have become even closer since making the critically acclaimed drama movie Never Let Me Go together.
< ">Carey Mulligan told new! magazine: “Keira and I met on Pride and Prejudice, but we didn’t become friends until the following year, when we were promoting the film. We got close because we’re both the same age, we both live in London and have the same circle of friends. It was great to work with her again on Never Let Me Go but it’s funny because in Pride and Prejudice I only had three lines. To do something equal to her, where we’re challenging each other, is great. I feel so lucky.”
