Alicia Vikander by Hans Feurer in Grunge Remastered for ELLE UK October 2020
Actor Alicia Vikander covers the October 2020 issue of ELLE UK, styled by Hortense Manga in edgy, grunge-remastered looks lensed by Hans Feurer. Hannah Nathanson conducts the interview.
Vikender on playing Gloria Steinem’s life, ages 20-40.
Nathanson writes that Vikander’s portrayal of Gloria Steinem is generating Oscar buzz. After reading the script, the actor engaged in long conversations with other women about Gloria’s life.

Gloria Steinem is equally impacted by Vikander’s portrayal of her.
‘Only [director] Julie Taymor – a genius in every way, including casting – understood that a Swedish/European actor could inhabit me, an American from the Midwest. From eating lunch with my father in a very American diner, to travelling with women on a train in India, Alicia captured emotions that can’t really be described... She inspires that most rare and crucial quality: trust.’
Steinem has good reason to have trust issues, as she has been savaged and ravaged as a privileged, elitist white woman by Berners. Read the entire Alicia Vikander interview on ELLE UK.
