'Adolescence' star and Emmy winner Erin Doherty chats with THR on the 2025 Emmys red carpet and describes working with her co-star Owen Cooper and how she knew 'Adolescence' was special right away. Plus, she talks about receiving praise for her performance from Sarah Paulson.
00:00I'm so glad you're here. I just watched you walk down and I was like, this dress.
00:04It's like a piece of art. It's Louis Vuitton, so it's kind of like bouncy.
00:09So it's kind of great. So I'm going to sit down and it's all going to push back in my face, but it's worth it.
00:14It's worth the look.
00:16How many, how many, look at that guy.
00:18I love him. I know, I could talk about him forever.
00:22And I think I will be, and I'm really happy about it.
00:25Like, I'm just so proud to have been a part of this thing, but also I'm proud to have witnessed his first kind of explosion into this industry.
00:33It's been really special.
00:34You must have known while it was happening.
00:36Oh, yeah. Like, you never know if something's going to hit the zeitgeist, but you do know when something is important.
00:42And I think from the minute that we got in that rehearsal room, everyone just was so committed to telling this story as wholeheartedly as we could.
00:51And that doesn't happen all the time. And so it felt, yeah, it felt pretty special in that sense.
00:55I know you guys have been fielding a lot of compliments and a lot of love over these past couple of months.
00:58What's been, who's been the biggest surprise to you?
01:01That's either you've met or you got a DM or you got a, or your agent said somebody reached out.
01:07They love, they love you. They love the work. Who was the one that surprised you?
01:10I mean, I'm a massive fan of Sarah Paulson and she reached out of her own accord.
01:15And I genuinely, the true story, I saw that she had sent like a little voice note and I left it for like two days because I was too intimidated to listen.
01:23Because I was like, how is this happening? So no, that was an absolute mind bend of a moment.
01:28But I eventually built up the courage to respond.
01:31Did you respond with another voice note?
01:32Yeah, because I was like, well, if this is the way we're doing it, then that's, and I'm a massive fan of voice note.
01:37So we just hit the ground running right off the bat. So it was great. Yeah.
01:40Who else do you want to meet tonight?
01:42To be fair, all the other women in this category are my top hitters.
01:47Like I want to meet Deirdre. I want to meet Jenny, Ruth. I just want to see Chloe.
01:52I want to see them all. So those are my, those are my people.
01:55Get to it and enjoy this night with that dress. You look amazing.
