Ellie Bamber

“I had a really lovely upbringing. I did a lot of skateboarding down country lanes.”

“I'm always reading. I've loved reading since I was young, and I've always loved sinking my teeth into a different world, especially one that you begin to create in your head.”

“I do have quite a baby face.”

“I admire anyone who does stage all their life. It's so tough, and it also made me really appreciate how lucky I am with film. You have to do your own makeup with stage, and you have to do so many un-glamorous things.”

“I always double cleanse and use a lot of the iS Clinical products, including the active serum, which I swear by. I finish with the Liz Earle Superskin Eye Cream.”

“My favourite vintage shop in New York is called Screaming Mimi's, and whenever I go, I'll spend three hours in there just trawling.”

“My mom is so chill and so down to earth and not fussy about anything.”

“Working with the brand has taught me to keep it classy but also shake things up. I love that about Chanel because I get to be pretty, but I also get to ride my skateboard in Chanel.”

“My first reaction when I watched Les Miserables was, 'Wow, my hair looks good!' They put half a wig in, and I was always kinda worried it was gonna make my head look twice as big!”

“I would love to tackle an older role and have a little bit more depth, but I do get to have fun with the roles, and I'm quite happy playing young. I quite enjoy being the baby of the cast. It's fun.”

“I like a protein shake after the gym; I think that's important. I also eat lots of fruit and vegetables.”

“It's so important to get your voice heard, get out there, support what you believe in and what you wanna fight for.”

“I think I should have been born a redhead. It goes with my personality - I'm fiery, and it's kind of quirky, like me.”

“I have so many different styles. My favorites are from Amo, Levi's, and Frame.”

“I love breakfast. Well, I just like food. I'm properly into my food. It comes from my father. If we go anywhere, we like to look up the best restaurants.”

“With stage, it's very tough. You have to have a lot of stamina - you're doing eight shows a week for 19 weeks. The same thing, every night. Twice a day some days. The only full day I actually had off was Sunday. And every night is different.”

“I think she's great because she - the choices are mine, essentially, and she's just there to guide me. She's my manager, but I feel like she's more of a mom. Although she helps me with certain things, she's still my mom.”

“I don't really have a go-to style. I can change from an Audrey Hepburn type of thing to '70s stuff.”

“I love experimenting with make-up colours, using them in unique ways and doing wild things, because on a day-to-day basis, I sometimes feel mad - but in a good way.”

“I'm from just outside London, near Reading.”
