Jim Sturgess on One Day and Avoiding the Pitfalls of Hollywood Fame

Jim Sturgess on One Day and Avoiding the Pitfalls of Hollywood Fame

In Lone Scherfig's One Day, adapted by David Nicholls from his own novel, young Brits Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Dexter (Jim Sturgess) meet cute on the last day of college and spend the '80s and '90s flitting in and out of each other's lives.
