Wolf Hall's Claire Foy gets to grips with a huge HAWK for her latest acting job


Ms Foy, who previously played Queen Elizabeth in The Crown and Anne Boleyn in Wolf Hall, is believed to have spent two weeks training with the Eurasian goshawk for her new film role.

Ms Foy, who previously played Queen Elizabeth in The Crown and Anne Boleyn in Wolf Hall, is believed to have spent two weeks training with the Eurasian goshawk – the largest species of hawk in Europe – for her new film role. In H Is For Hawk, she plays Cambridge academic Helen Macdonald, who formed an unlikely friendship with a bird called Mabel following the sudden death of her photojournalist father, Alisdair, from a heart attack. Brendan Gleeson, who starred in The Banshees of Inisherin, will play the father, while the film marks a reunion between Ms Foy and director Philippa Lowthorpe, who shot the second series of The Crown.
