Biography

I found it quite surprising when I kept getting action films. I'm quite physical, like I dance and play sport, but I've never done that in an audition, I've never had to prove that I was strong.

I think you have to make smart choices. I think it was Rosamund Pike who said, "It's not the things you say yes to, it's the things you say no to", and I think I've tried to do a variety of different genres and time periods and just tried to work with directors I look up to. I think it's just finding material that you genuinely connect with and directors you genuinely think are really brilliant.

I think it used to be that you had a personal persona and a public persona, but it's all intertwined now. Your public image is also your private image now. I'm careful about what I put on social media, I try and keep it relatively private.

Now that I have a few under my belt, I want to be seen as someone who can make good choices, bold choices and different choices, not just someone who always goes for a safe bet... Do the independent that might fall flat on your face, but at least you're trying to do a different role.

I enjoy drama. Any job, as well, that's a long time, where you've got months to have a nice arc, like a T.V. show or a film, then that's what I really enjoy. Because you feel like you can get your teeth into something.
