The highly anticipated new movie premiered in London on Monday night, with Ms Winehouse’s family present for the first showing of the blockbuster which stars striking Marisa Abela as the troubled songstress. The convicted thug is understood to have first encouraged her to try smoking crack but this is not depicted in the film as Fielder-Civil, played by former Skins actor Jack O’Connell, is portrayed as an impish and cheeky north London ‘indie boy.’ One friend told the Mail: ‘It’s more like they’re a loved up Disney Princess and her Prince – Blake comes across as a charming and loveable rogue, rather than a thoroughly broken drug addict who dragged Amy into the depths of depravity.'
