Alison Sudol was nervous about shooting with Johnny Depp, but her nervousness went out of the window when she met him on the sets of the “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”.

“He was very gentle with me. He was very kind after every take. He was generous and said lively things about my performance, which was great because I was very vulnerable not in the whole movie but in some scenes,” she added.

“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” explores the story of Gellert Grindelwald (Depp), showing his power to influence people to embrace the dark world. Sudol essays the role of mind-reading Queenie in the franchise.

Talking more about her experience with Deep, she said: “At the end of the movie, there is a scene which is particularly painful for me and we had to do it over and over again. I was like yelling in the scene.

“It was awful and at a certain point, I couldn’t stop crying. I went to a corner. He came over and he just started telling me a story about him being invited to some weird political party thing. It was hilarious. The stuff he was saying and the way they were reacting. He completely, without making any note of the state I was in or making me self-conscious, genuinely distracted me. It was a kind thing to do. He didn’t have to do it.

“He knew where I was at and I really respect that and appreciate that.” “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is the second in the planned five movies spin-off franchise from the “Harry Potter” films. The first part “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” came out in 2016.

“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” takes forward the story, bringing a more darker and complex view of the world and sets the foundation of the events leading to the universe of the popular “Harry Potter” world.

Her character was introduced as a friendly and lovable character, who went on to have a cute love story with Jacob Kowalski . But in the second part, Queenie will be seen treading the darker path.
