She then went on to enjoy a recurring roles in the BBC series Prisoners Wives and Dickensian followed by the Crackle crime series Snatch, before landing her big break in Netflix’s Bridgerton in 2020.
Indeed not only are her parents in showbusiness, but her paternal grandparents also worked in the television industry.
Meanwhile Zac Efron has blossomed into a serious actor from his beginnings on the Disney channel, as he enjoyed a role opposite Nicole Kidman in Netflix comedy a Family Affair, as well as a starring role in the film Iron Claw with Lily James and Jeremy Allen White.
In a recent interview industry bible Deadline, Efron said he was looking to be selective in his upcoming film projects. He said: “’I’ll definitely be more selective, I think, in the best ways. This is why I’ve always wanted to make movies.’
‘I view it more as a responsibility now, and I think that’s just naturally going to make me more selective moving forward. And it does take a lot out of you. So, I think less is more in these moments.’
Zac later expressed, ‘I really enjoy working with directors that have a vision and that can guide. I can’t pick a genre or a style of film that would be the most appealing next.’
‘I just know whatever one it’s going to be, and I love all of them, I just want it to feel real and authentic, and be able to commit wholly to it.’
Earlier this year it was revealed that the actor was hospitalized after swimming at villa in Ibiza in August. He was said to have ingested a large amount of water into his lungs after a deep dive into the pool went wrong.
But the High School Musical star shared an update on his Instagram that he was happy and healthy.
