Actress Sophie Cookson has recently entered the world of big cinema, but she already has her fans and a good reputation among critics. Her portfolio has a little more than a dozen films and series. One of the best series where Sophie starred is considered the project "Kingsman: Secret Service" (2015).
Biography
Actress Sophie Louise L. Cookson is an English citizen, she was born in the city of Hayworth Heath in 1990. From an early age, the girl showed abilities for acting, so her parents decided to enroll her in vocal courses, and then they took her to the studio of the local musical theater. Here she studied acting, makeup, and danced. It was a fairly universal training, which allowed the young actress to very quickly go out of the scene.
When the theater went on tour, Cookson went with the troupe to perform in Europe, Asia and Japan. She really liked this life, but Sophie felt that she lacked special education, so she decided to enter the theater university, which she graduated in 2013.
Movie career
Immediately after receiving the diploma of theatrical actress, Sophie was casting in the mini-series "Moonflit". In it, she starred with partners Ray Winston, Anairin Barnard and Anthony Ofoedzhbu. According to the plot of the series, representatives of the law should track the smuggled goods and the smugglers themselves, but it is not so easy to catch the cunning and dodgy businessmen - they resort to a lot of tricks to crank up their affairs. The drama takes place in the eighteenth century.
The second television project, which starred Cookson, was the series "Rosamund Pilher." His filming began in 1993, when the actress was only three years old. Meanwhile, this series is still out. Sophie was busy in the series for half a year in 2014, and then the creators decided to branch off from the main project and began to shoot the series “Unknown Hearts”, in which they invited the actress. She agreed, since there were no other proposals at that time.
In 2015, Sophie got a lucky card: she got into the picture "Kingsman: The Secret Service", where she starred with the famous Colin Firth, Theron Edgerton, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Strog, Michael Kane and Sophia Butella. Oddly enough, however, the film, created by comics, gained immense popularity. The actors who starred in the film and directed by Matthew Won overnight became even more famous. And Sophie got the opportunity to act not only in television projects, but also in full-length films, as she coped brilliantly with her role.
Therefore, it was not surprising that in 2015 she became a nominee for the Empire prize as one of the best actresses who made their film debut this year. By the way, initially the role of Roxy, which was played by Cookson, was to be played by Emma Watson, but something did not grow together, and the actress refused this role. So Sophie was really lucky this time.
The audience enthusiastically accepted the film, the reviews were the most flattering, so in 2017, Matthew Won decided to shoot a sequel to the action movie called "Kingsman: The Golden Ring".
In September 2017, the premiere of this film took place, which the audience also received very warmly. Moreover, here, besides the previous actors, they could watch the game of Holly Berry, Julianne Moore, Jeff Bridges, Channing Tatum and Pedro Pascal. And even Elton John was assigned a small role.
How did this film attract viewers? He is very dynamic, and also he looks like a fairy tale in which villains inevitably find themselves defeated. And the story of an ordinary guy who was lucky in life to meet with a mentor who introduced him to a completely different mysterious world is always interesting to the audience. Spy passions, exposures, courageous and courageous protagonists who defend justice at the risk of their lives - the entire set of heroic themes is presented in a completely unusual way, which makes the film very attractive.
The film has a lot of comedic and parody elements, and this, combined with the seriousness of the situations in which the main characters fall, seems very unusual. Therefore, the film has several nominations for various awards, and in 2016 he received the Russian national film award Georges as the best film in a foreign language. This is all the more valuable because the film was not evaluated by critics, but by viewers.
After the first “Kingsman”, Sophie began to receive offers for filming from various directors, and in 2016 she starred in the movie “Snow White and the Hunter 2, ” which was a continuation of the first part of this film. This beautiful costume movie won the hearts of young spectators from all over the world, however, adults watched it with pleasure.
Having mastered the world of big cinema, in 2017, Cookson again returned to television to play the role of Sidney's barista in the Gypsy project. The protagonist of the series is the psychotherapist Gene Halloway performed by Naomi Watts.
The plans of the actress shooting in the film "Emperor" directed by Lee Tamahori. Here, Sophie will have the main role, and Adrian Brody will become the partner on the set.
