Today’s the day! The Time Traveler’s Wife first episode is premiering and we can tell you that it’s a really good one.
We’ve been obsessing over the show, partially because we loved the book and partially because Theo James and Rose Leslie are icons and we can’t wait to see them together. There’s also the fact that parts of it were filmed really close to us.
That all being said, it’s a show that you should watch.
Rose Leslie and Theo James bounce between years of their life in this show and in parts, they needed to age up. That requires makeup and prosthetics. While speaking to ET about the show, the subject of them aging and the makeup they wore came up.
“I think it worked well with Rose. She looked instantly aged but elegant and touches of your own mom,” Theo said. “Mine, I think they went too deep and I looked like the head of a tortoise.”
Well that’s an interesting assessment of ones self.
Rose said, “I FaceTimed my husband straight away and he was chaffed!”
“I don’t think my wife saw me because she would have been terrified,” Theo continued, joking. “I looked like Voldemort/Ursula.”
The Time Traveler’s Wife debuts tonight on HBO.
