"I think they had an incredible life. They've got, you know, three wonderful children, and they've left behind this incredible legacy of love. But I think there is a universality to the film in that it is a depiction of a marriage, you know, and every marriage, regardless of any of "Music's always been a big part of my life in lots of ways before I started acting at all," said Mulligan on lead characters of the ‘Maestro’.
"My grandmother, I used to sing with her. She's Welsh. She passed away, sadly. But singing is a huge part of Welsh culture," she added.
Mulligan, who has three children with Mumford & Sons lead singer Marcus Mumford since 2012, added, "I grew up singing and loving music and then married a musician."
Where to watch the 96th Oscars?
The 96th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 10, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, at 7 pm ET. It is being hosted by ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel.
Mulligan earlier told NPR about the real-life challenges a couple faces.
She said, "I think they had an incredible life. They've got, you know, three wonderful children, and they've left behind this incredible legacy of love. But I think there is a universality to the film in that it is a depiction of a marriage, you know, and every marriage, regardless of any of the details, is deeply complicated and very challenging at times.”
Mulligan continued, "This is all real, taken straight from a transcript of an interview that she did. I think what she was really trying to say - and it's a piece I listened to over and over again and studied, essentially. But, you know, what she's trying to say is that there is something completely suffocating about being around the fame and the everything that is needed to sustain him - I think that is very, very draining - but that she has essentially committed to do this. But she's not going to do it in a typical meek-woman-by-the-great-man manner."
