Felicity Jones enjoys a night out on the town – at least when she gets a chance to get out of the house.
The actress, 41, sat down with PEOPLE on the Thursday, Dec. 19 episode of PEOPLE at 10 to discuss her new historical drama Brutalisther recent Golden Globe nomination and why she doesn’t leave the house very often these days.
“I have two very young children who love to keep me in the house,” said Jones – who welcomed a son in 2020 and a daughter in 2022 with husband Charles Guard.
“So when I get the chance I like to go out, but most of the time I’m in bed by 9 o’clock so I can be up at, say, 4:30 a.m. the next day,” she added.

The Oscar-nominated actress recently received a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Erzsébet in Brutalist.
The film tells the story of László Tota (Adrien Brody), a visionary Jewish architect who is separated from his wife Erzsébet (Jones) during the Holocaust. It also stars Guy Pearce, Joe Alwyn, Raffey Cassidy and Emma Laird.
While Jones told PEOPLE that she’s “as prepared as I can be” for the upcoming whirlwind of awards season, she also noted that she’s trying to take it all in stride.

“You don’t want to get your hopes up,” she said. “So just try to convince yourself. You’re like – at every turn – ‘This is great. Where [the film has] got that is great.’ And everything else will be the icing on the cake.”
Jones also took a moment to share her special “vibe” with her co-star Brody, 51.
“We didn’t have a lot of rehearsals for this film, so when we came to the set, it was the first time we did scenes together. So we didn’t – I didn’t – really know what to expect,” she explained.
“But I think with Adrien he’s – he’s just so good – and he’s so honest in his performances that he kind of makes everyone around him better. And we were lucky; we had a vibe, we had a connection,” Jones added with a laugh. “We just went for it. You know, we just wanted to make it feel as believable as possible.”

The theory of everything the star also revealed that she and the team behind the project had no idea if their film would be well received.
“In a funny way, you never know how [a film will] hit the audience. And so, really, before [the Venice Film Festival] we just had no idea. You know, we felt it was different and it was ambitious. But then, in Venice, we really saw how he connected with the audience. And that it really has so many universal themes in it,” she explained.
