“I tried for a long time to get pregnant. I had a hard time during the lockdown. For a while, I thought I would never be able to have a child,” she told the Sunday Times.

Recently, Alicia Vikander revisited the emotions she felt at that moment in her life, as she played a character experiencing a miscarriage in the miniseries Irma Vep. Director Olivier Assayas even confessed to having thought of the role for her. In the series, Alicia Vikander’s character has to quickly get back on stage after her painful experience.

Unfortunately, society still treats miscarriage as a simple medical blemish that can be treated quite well without taking into consideration the emotional and psychological damage it causes. Better therapeutic follow-up and greater resources should be offered to people experiencing a miscarriage.

In any case, we wish peace and love to Alicia Vikander and to all the people who have gone through a similar ordeal.
