Picture This cast — Simone Ashley on playing Pia
Simone Ashley, who plays Pia in Picture This, says: "When I was growing up, I always wanted to be part of a rom-com— to see a girl that looks like me in those kinds of movies and in those stories.
“Pia is chaotic and she’s flawed. There's so much on her plate in her life. It’s that transition in life from when you were in your 20s to then suddenly, you're in your 30s, and society makes us think, ‘My God, this is such a big deal and there's all this pressure,’ and I think she’s going through that.
“It’s real London we see in Picture This — the London that I grew up in. I lived in Hackney for six years. And I loved that we were portraying that side of it and looking into the world of a girl that lived there, and trying to make a business happen, and having like a peek into her life.”
