Rosamund Pike admitted feeling ‘very far away’ from home after move to Prague post-Brexit

Rosamund stars in Amazon Original series ‘The Wheel of Time’ which can be streamed on Amazon Prime from today. The show, based on the book series by Robert Jordan, depicts a world where magic exists, but can only be accessed by some. A woman called Moiraine, played by Rosamund, crosses paths with five young men and women and triggers a dangerous world-spanning journey.

The show’s first season consists of eight episodes, with the first three having been released today.

The remaining five are set to air on a weekly basis with the final episode coming out on Christmas Eve.

Rosamund, who this year won a Golden Globe for her black comedy thriller ‘I Care A Lot’, is one of the UK’s most successful acting exports.

Yet, she has been deeply critical of Brexit in the past, having once likened the decision to “accidentally bearing your nipple”

During the British Fashion Awards in 2018 Rosamund told NBC News: “I would say it would sort of be the equivalent of accidentally bearing your nipple.

“You sort of know from the moment it’s happened it’s a pretty bad thing to have done.”

The actor subsequently moved to the Czech Republic with her partner of 10 years, Robie Uniacke, and their two sons Solo and Atom while shooting The Wheel of Time.

However the Gone Girl star admitted the UK “feels very far away suddenly” as she navigated living in Prague post-Brexit.

Speaking on The Graham Norton Show in February Rosamund said: “I’m working here so we decided instead of the constant back and forth we would all up sticks and move here.

“It [the UK] seems further away now Brexit has happened.

“We feel like we are in a very different country and it feels very far away suddenly.”

Rosamund was born in Hammersmith, raised in Bristol and educated at Oxford University.

Despite her Prague move, the actor admitted to still being a Briton at heart, through her love of “tea and digestive biscuits”.

While speaking about filming ‘I Care A Lot’ she told host Graham Norton: “About halfway through the afternoon I was allowed to come to the surface and because we were in England, across the tank came this inflatable tray with mugs and digestive biscuits. 

“It was the most welcome sight.”

Rosamund also opened up to Jimmy Kimmel about her Prague adventure in February and joked she had “never seen drunker human beings” than in the Czech Republic.

She said: “It’s a city of culture and a city of opportunity.

“It’s in central Europe, it’s perfect for road trips ‒ we’ve done some interesting exploratory adventures in the vicinity.”

She explained taking her sons to Czech tourist destination Český Krumlov to go river rafting, only to discover it was a very popular stag and hen do destination.

When asked how her kids enjoyed the trip Rosamund said: “They loved it, Jimmy, because we were travelling along and we came across a group of scantily clad girls […] women in bikinis with a very large inflatable man with a huge erection trailing behind then in the boat.

“So my kids were fascinated, and then this man was being lobbed through the air, sent on to the neighbouring boat.

“I promise you, I’ve never seen drunker human beings that I saw on this boat.

“Men who stood up and immediately fell flat on their face, and then one who stumbled over the edge, got completely drenched in mud and then clambered back into the boat splattering all the girls with mud.”
