Emily Mortimer Thought She'd Feel Like an 'Imposter' Replacing Sally Hawkins in Paddington

Mortimer Inherited the Role of Mrs. Brown for Paddington 2

Emily Mortimer initially felt like an "imposter" taking over the role of Mrs. Brown in the Paddington franchise from Sally Hawkins.

Mortimer took over the role of the kindly neighbor from Hawkins, who played the character in the first Paddington film.

Mortimer admitted to feeling pressure stepping into the role, saying, "I felt like an imposter. I loved Sally Hawkins' performance so much, and I didn't want to mess it up."

Mortimer Praised Hawkins' Performance

Mortimer praised Hawkins' performance, saying, "She's such a wonderful actress, and she brought such warmth and humor to the role."

Mortimer said she tried to bring her own spin to the character while staying true to the spirit of Hawkins' portrayal.

Mortimer's performance in Paddington 2 was well-received by critics and audiences alike.

Paddington 3 Is in the Works

A third Paddington film is currently in development, with Mortimer set to reprise her role as Mrs. Brown.

Mortimer said she is excited to continue playing the character and is looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Mrs. Brown.

The third Paddington film is expected to be released in 2023.
