Leonie Benesch on Around the World in 80 Days, and yelling at David Tennant

According to Radio Times, The German star of BBC One's Around the World in 80 Days discusses the British class system, moving to the UK, and the "biggest part" she's ever played exclusively with RadioTimes.com.

"I was aware that I would be nervous." Leonie Benesch, the young star of BBC One's Around the World in 80 Days, remembers her first scene with David Tennant: a heated argument in episode three between her character, journalist Abigail Fix, and Tennant's nerdy explorer Phileas Fogg.

Benesch recalls having an almost out-of-body experience in the middle of a scene, staring at Tennant's "very red, peeling, heavily injured face" (thankfully all make-up and prosthetics) and feeling "overwhelmed" as her character went toe-to-toe with his in the middle of a desert. "There were a few occurrences when I felt, 'I'm shouting at David Tennant!'" 'This is very surreal!' she exclaims.

When asked if Leonie had any "pinch-me" moments while filming, she gave numerous examples, including yelling at David Tennant. (Additionally, there is an "incredibly cool stunt" from episode seven, visiting South Africa for the first time, and learning that Hans Zimmer would be composing the soundtrack.) "Those moments when you think, 'Oh! What exactly am I doing? "I'm living my childhood fantasy."

While the TV series is based on Jules Verne's 1872 novel of the same name, Abigail Fix is a completely new character created for the BBC adaptation (her name is a wink to an original book character, Detective Fix). Abigail has always been the show's beating heart. Whereas Tennant's mustachioed Victorian gentleman Phileas Fogg lacks confidence, Abigail exudes it - a trait shared by German national Benesch, who studied drama at Guildhall in London.

"I'm not from a wealthy family. I went into massive debt when I first moved to London just to attend drama school," Leonie explains.

"I'm not sure if it's narcissism or bravery, but coming to London and auditioning for drama school in a language that isn't your mother tongue, and just going there and (being) like, 'Yeah, I belong here.'" I believe that is a characteristic I possess, and I am grateful for it. And I believe Abigail Fix has this trait. She walks into a room and doesn't care if she's supposed to be there. It's exactly where she needs to be right now. I believe we agree on that."

Benesch was chosen for the role of Abigail Fix, but she found it both exciting and intimidating to begin filming. "I felt uneasy. Because it's the biggest role I've ever played, because it's in a language other than my own, and because David Tennant is in it," she explains. The timing of Around the World in 80 Days is perfect for her to become well-known.
