"Star Wars" actress Felicity Jones, 31, recently said that her "The Theory Of Everything" co-actor Eddie Redmayne helped her earn her Oscars 2015 Best Actress nomination.
In an exclusive clip from Parade, Jones said it was because of Redmayne's "incredible commitment" that inspired her to do better with her performance as Jane Wilde Hawking in the Stephen Hawking biopic "The Theory Of Everything."
"I have to up my game," Jones said.
Directed by James Marsh and written by Anthony McCarten based on the memoir of the famed British theoretical physicist's wife titled "Travelling To Infinity: My Life With Stephen," "The Theory Of Everything" received five Academy Award nominations, which include Best Actor for Redmayne, and Best Actress for Jones and Best Picture.
Joining Redmayne and Jones in "The Theory Of Everything" cast are Emily Watson, Tom Prior, Sophie Perry, Finlay Wright-Stephens, Harry Lloyd, Alice Orr-Ewing, David Thewlis, Michael Marcus, Paul Longley, Simon McBurney and Christian McKay, among others.
Nominated for Best Actress at the 2015 Oscars for her performance in "The Theory Of Everything," Jones is set to go against "Still Alice" actress Julianne Moore, "Two Days, One Night" actress Marion Cotillard, "Gone Girl" actress Rosamund Pike and "Wild" actress Reese Witherspoon.
Aside from starring in "Star Wars" film that is yet to be titled, Jones has been confirmed to join two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks, Omar Sy, Irrfan Khan and Sidse Babett Knudsen in the 2016 film adaptation of Dan book "Inferno," Daily Mail has learned. It will be directed by Ron Howard and written by David Koepp.
