Ruth Negga, Vogue’s January cover star, has had the kind of meteoric rise that most actress can only dream about, with a starring role in Jeff Nichols’ Loving that has the smart money on her earning an Oscar, come February. Here, the starlet on the rise recalls her early years behind a bar, as she shows how to pull a perfect pint of Guinness—and tell some terrifically bad jokes as she does it.
