Variety — Suki Waterhouse on How Motherhood, Nostalgia and Robert Pattinson as a Muse Inspired Her Sublime New Album ‘Loveland’

Suki Waterhouse is feeling nostalgic. On a gloomy spring afternoon, the 34-year-old meets me at a cozy Notting Hill pub across the street from the flat where she lived for most of her 20s. Her manager booked a table under a pseudonym, but at 2:30 p.m., the establishment is empty except for a few old men nursing Guinnesses. “That was completely unnecessary,” Waterhouse says as she greets me, looking effortless yet elevated in a Vivienne Westwood duster jacket. “But maybe it gave me an air of mystery.”

Waterhouse is the opposite of aloof. She beat me to the pub, and by the time I arrived, was already ordering a Coke and a basket of fries to share, which we take to a tucked-away corner. There’s a straw wrapper on the table, but she brushes it off, unbothered, and curls up in an armchair like a cat.

She’s had quite the week already, starting with the Met Gala, where she turned heads in a plunging pink Michael Kors gown inspired by Greek statues carved out of rose marble. It’s fitting that Waterhouse would be dressed like a goddess; up close, her skin looks airbrushed, save for a few freckles on her nose, and her honey-blonde hair — cut into a shag that countless women, myself included, have shown their hairdressers as inspiration — is impossibly shiny. “I haven’t had that many big nights — maybe two — since I’ve had my daughter,” she says. Waterhouse shares a 2-year-old with her partner, actor Robert Pattinson, who she met at a star-studded L.A. game night in 2018. “And, yeah, we stayed out till 7 a.m.”

Highlights of the Met Gala included catching up with “Heated Rivalry” breakout Connor Storrie, who recently comforted her on a turbulent plane ride — “I was sort of clutching onto him the whole time,” she says — and seeing Stevie Nicks perform.

“I said hi to Stevie Nicks! That’s obviously a huge moment,” exclaims Waterhouse, who starred in the 2023 Amazon series “Daisy Jones & the Six,” which was loosely based on Fleetwood Mac’s recording of “Rumours.” She was also pranked by “Saturday Night Live” star Marcello Hernandez when he introduced Bad Bunny — who was made up like an old man for the occasion — to her as his uncle. “He totally got me,” she laughs.

Though Waterhouse’s life now seems the picture of glamour — moving from place to place with her little family based on film shoots and tour dates — back in the part of town where she spent her early adulthood, it feels like nothing has changed. “Whenever I come here, it brings me right back to who I was,” she says wistfully. “Growing up, Notting Hill was always this vision I had in my head of where I was going to become a woman. And that very much was the case.”

Waterhouse was scouted as a model in high school, plucked from the affluent West London suburb of Chiswick, where she grew up with her plastic surgeon father, nurse mother and three siblings. Still, diving headfirst into the city and a competitive industry was a shock. (She has since modeled for Tommy Hilfiger, appeared on five Vogue covers and walked the runway for Burberry and Balenciaga.) “That changed my life a lot, and was quite surprising,” she says, grabbing a handful of fries. “More than the work itself, it was a cultural exploration of London and the nightlife and the people, and suddenly being able to look around and put these pieces together of what it was like to be an artist. It completely blew my world open.”

Anyone who was on Tumblr in the 2010s likely first stumbled across Waterhouse as one of the London “it” girls alongside Alexa Chung and Georgia May Jagger, posing in miniskirts at all the best parties next to their rock-star boyfriends (hers was indie rock artist Miles Kane). But she felt destined for more. Acting came first, with Waterhouse scoring small roles in the 2014 rom-com “Love, Rosie,” 2015’s “Insurgent” and 2016’s “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.” And behind the scenes, she was also starting to write music of her own.

The Notting Hill apartment was “where I had my mattress on the floor and my first piano and guitar, and where I first had that solitude to start writing,” she says. “It’s where I would take the wild from outside and hibernate within myself. So many stories developed here.”
