<p>Andrea Riseborough has revealed how Madonna offered her a part in her new film over traditional English afternoon tea.</p>
<p>The Brighton Rock star plays Wallis Simpson, whose relationship with King Edward VIII led to his abdication, in W.E. which is directed and co-written by the music superstar.</p>
<p>Andrea revealed: &#8220;She&#8217;s just a lovely woman. My first experience of her was a very nice cup of Earl Grey in a living room in her house. That&#8217;s how we talked about doing something together and it was really artistically a very complicit relationship throughout.</p>
<p>&#8220;Also I think from beginning to end it was five-and-a-half months playing Wallis, and Madonna has an infectious passion for all sorts of things and she&#8217;s very worldly. She has a real wisdom, but particularly at this point for the Duke and Duchess, so I got the bug &#8211; the Wallis Simpson bug.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 29-year-old Made In Dagenham actress &#8211; best known for her role as Baroness Thatcher in The Long Walk To Finchley &#8211; said watching awards hit The King&#8217;s Speech was interesting as it gave another perspective on the abdication story.</p>
<p>Andrea said: &#8220;It was strange watching it for me, because it was the other side of a whole. It was the other side of the story and in my job you have to absolutely convince yourself of the truth because everything&#8217;s just a version of truth isn&#8217;t it. So the truth that we were dealing with was something very other to that of The King&#8217;s Speech.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was strange but I very much enjoyed it &#8211; as objective as I could be about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Andrea stars in the new film adaptation of Graeme Greene&#8217;s novel Brighton Rock, released on February 4.</p>
