"The only person in the world that can reassure you, is you," Vanessa Kirby tells us, behind the scenes on her June issue cover shoot. "I've looked in all different areas for reassurance; for people to give me the answer that actually I know in myself more than anybody."

She might have found international fame thanks to her scene-stealing turn as Princess Margaret in The Crown (and winning Netflix's first Bafta as a result), but the 30-year-old actress has been working in the industry for over a decade - and therefore knows a thing or two about battling with critics and the importance of inner strength. As she prepares to take on her first blockbuster role alongside Tom Cruise in the latest Mission Impossible instalment, Kirby discusses what it's like to be a woman in Hollywood today ("What is Hollywood, really? I still don't know"), the impact of the #MeToo movement and why we're all too mean to ourselves.
