I think it's so cool how she transformed for the role. That was the point in time where I was like, okay, I want to do this.

Was there a movie that you saw growing up that made you want to do this for a living? You become like a family, and you're all so close, and then you have to go your separate ways.
That's why I think I get emotional when it's over. I think with films, especially independent films, there's so much heart, there's so much passion, there's so much creativity, and it's so intense for such a short amount of time.
Every time I wrap a movie, I'm like, Oh no. I remember when we wrapped, I cried for a very long time. My first job was One Day with Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. How old were you when you started acting? Then she sent me a link to a video of her friend signing and asked me to copy it the best I could. So I just kind of recorded into the Voice Notes app on my phone, in my bedroom. And then Siân, the director, asked me to sing three extra songs. So I sent four dialogue scenes, and I sang “Landslide,” by Fleetwood Mac, which was meant to be the song at the end of the movie. So when I read the script I thought, Okay, whoever gets to play this role is an incredibly lucky actress. You're lucky if you get to learn one skill for a movie.
It's not every day that you get to learn four or five skills. Here, she discusses her background, the Charlize Theron role that made her want to become an actress, and what was on her mind when she met Tom Hanks last year. And you’re definitely about to see a lot more of her: the CODA cast recently received the SAG Award nomination for Outstanding Performance with Jones generating buzz for her portrayal of Ruby, a teenager from a family of fishermen who have trouble coming to terms with her passion for singing. You might recognize Jones from the Netflix series Locke & Key, or, if you’re a particularly sharp observer, as a child in One Day, the 2011 romantic drama starring Anne Hathaway. In CODA, which is an acronym for Child of Deaf Adults, the 19-year-old Welsh actress Emilia Jones stars as Ruby Rossi, the only hearing person in a deaf family.
