Lashana Lynch, broccoli & anchovy pasta and a Tre Fiori

Born in Hammersmith, with Jamaican roots, Lashana Lynch showed promise from an early age, becoming the first girl to be cast as Pinocchio in West London. She began her working life as a singer but won a scholarship to drama school, which changed the course of her career. In 2019, she was cast as Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel and, two years later, she received a much-anticipated call from Barbara Broccoli of James Bond fame. Lashana won a Bafta for Rising Star in 2022 for her role as Nomi in No Time to Die, and subsequently landed her dream role as Rita Marley in Bob Marley: One Love. Her new show, Day of the Jackal, is on Sky from 7 November. Nick mixes an alcohol-free Caleño for Lashana, while Angela prepares a delicious broccoli & anchovy pasta with crispy crumbs. The experts at Waitrose pair this with an Italian white wine, Tre Fiori Greco di Tufo. Lashana loves food and shares her favourite comfort dishes, along with the occasional challenges of being a pescatarian. She pulls back the curtain on the Hollywood production process - and reveals how it feels to audition to be the new OO7 in the presence of Daniel Craig.
