Meghann Fahy and Eve Hewson, two of the stars of Netflix’s whodunit “The Perfect Couple,” have been quietly making waves in Hollywood for over a decade. Fahy’s journey started with a TV debut in 2009 on “Gossip Girl,” while Hewson’s breakthrough came in the film “This Must Be the Place” in 2011. However, it’s their recent roles in acclaimed TV series like “The White Lotus” and “Bad Sisters” that have catapulted them into the spotlight.

Legendary director Susanne Bier has high praise for the talented duo, predicting that both Fahy and Hewson are destined for stardom. Bier commends their unique qualities and deep understanding of their craft, setting them apart as rising stars in Hollywood.

Hewson, 33, daughter of U2 front man Bono, has a busy schedule ahead with projects like the second season of “Bad Sisters” and roles in high-profile films alongside industry heavyweights like Adam Sandler and George Clooney. On the other hand, Fahy, 34, is currently working on a limited series with Julianne Moore and Milly Alcock titled “Sirens” for Netflix, showcasing her versatility and range as an actress.

In a candid interview with The Associated Press, Fahy and Hewson reflect on their journeys in Hollywood, from their humble beginnings to now being part of the conversation about the next big stars in the industry.

Memorable Fan Encounters

HEWSON: It’s actually really fun to experience because even when we were in Cape Cod shooting “The Perfect Couple,” I would go to the local shop to get my groceries and little old ladies would follow me down the aisle and be like, “Excuse me. Are you that girl from that ‘Sisters’ show?” Who knew that they were watching it?

Recognition and Respect

FAHY: Part of it feels really nice because you work really, really, really hard for a really long time — maybe that’s not how it happens for a lot of people — but I feel like we’ve both been doing this for a minute. So, of course, it feels really good. but I try not to like dwell on any of it. I try to acknowledge it and be like, “Oh, that’s so nice.” And then just kind of keep going.

Acknowledging the Journey

HEWSON: You hear so many stories of people who were like, “I walked into my first audition and I just became a star.” Or, there’s this element of being an actor where people don’t want to tell you how hard they work. They want it to look like it’s really easy. But we’ve been doing this for a long time. People just don’t really tell those stories.

Industry Recognition

FAHY: Yeah, but I always think that nobody ever knows who I am. It’s always very embarrassing. I embarrass myself in those moments. I don’t always feel like I fit in those rooms.
