Rita Ora as the Artful Dodger
Twist is available to watch on Sky Cinema and NOW TV from tonight.
Rita Ora was thrilled to be cast in ‘Twist’ as she is a huge Charles Dickens fan.
The 30-year-old pop star plays Dodge – a female incarnation of the Artful Dodger – in the new take on ‘Oliver Twist’ and was delighted to land the part as she is a “book nerd” and loves the works of Victorian era novelist Dickens, whose other lauded works include ‘Nicholas Nickleby’, ‘A Christmas Carol’ and ‘Great Expectations’.
Speaking to Capital Radio, Rita said: “I am a big Charles Dickens fan.
“I actually love reading, I know people don’t know that about me but I am a bit of a book nerd.”
The ‘Anywhere’ singer stars alongside Sir Michael Caine, who plays Fagin in Martin Owen’s movie, and explained how she appreciated the way that the acting legend works.
