Blake Fielder-Civil<\/a> has called watching new biopic ‘Black To Black’ a “therapeutic” experience.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Blake Fielder-Civil has spoken about the Amy Winehouse biopic<\/p>\n
The tragic singer’s story is brought to life in a new film directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson which stars Marisa Abela as Amy – who died in 2011 aged 27 – and Jack O’Connell as Blake, who was married to the singer for two years between 2007 and 2009.<\/p>\n
Now Blake has admitted he enjoyed reliving the former couple’s troubled relationship on the big screen. During an appearance on ‘Good Morning Britain’, Blake said: “It’s a surreal experience watching a film about somebody you recognise … We were together, we were totally in love – from that to the addiction there were difficult parts to process.<\/p>\n
“It was almost therapeutic in a way – I was seeing a more accurate representation of the relationship.”<\/p>\n
He also played down criticisms that the film romanticises their romance, which was plagued by drug addiction and personal struggles. He added: “Not being in the sense of being kind of like a whitewash – just in the sense it wasn’t all about addiction. <\/p>\n
\n“As much as that may be the salacious element, it was only an aspect [of the relationship].”<\/p>\n
\nAmy died from alcohol poisoning after spending years battling addiction issues, and Blake – who has previously admitted introducing the singer to heroin – went on to insist he has taken responsibility for the part he played in her struggles.<\/p>\n
\nHe added: “I don’t speak about it often but I felt I’ve done pretty much nothing but try to take responsibility for quite a long time – it’s been a cross to bear.<\/p>\n
\n“I’ve had death threats online and on social media – Amy inspires a lot of fierce fandom and devotion.”<\/p>\n
\nWhen asked whether he regrets introducing Amy to heroin, he added: “The idea of heroin obviously it’s a horrible, terrible drug – I was in addiction as well. It’s not as black and white as that.<\/p>\n
\n“I was a very, very young person and I thought I had all the answers. Of course I regret any drugs. If I had known how it was going to [end up] I would’ve been far more careful about the things I was doing and the people I was doing it with.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
