Sheridan Smith wishes Marie Claire a Happy 25th Birthday in this exclusive interview and chats about her upcoming roles. It's no secret we think Olivier and Bafta winner Sheridan Smith is fabulous - that's why we chose her as one of our icons of the past 25 years for Marie Claire's 25th anniversary October issue with cover girl Lena Dunham.

We chatted to Sheridan behind the scenes at our Icons shoot with the amazing Rankin, and the actress opened up about being starstruck by the acclaimed photographer, her new projects and what would make 'a good 25 years.'

Watch the video for the full interview - and to see how gorgeous Sheridan looks in our October issue spread, out now.

And Happy 25th Birthday, to us!
