Gwendoline Christie

“Part of the reason why I love acting is that you do hope that somehow your work will connect to people and somehow expand their consciousness somewhat, and being able to challenge notions of prejudice through work - through my work - is really thrilling.“

Is that cat ungratefully complaining about being held by Gwendoline Christie or is it shouting to all its friends to hurry and see it being held by Gwendoline Christie?

This 6’3” beauty used to worry about not being able to land roles because of her amazing height. 

Now, she’s Harper’s Bazaar’s British Actress of the Year. 

Proud is an understatement. I could already smell your BAFTA from here. 

okay but how dare you show me a picture THAT GLORIOUS AND EPIC AND BEAUTIFUL????

“I absolutely had to sacrifice my personal vanity. I’m thrilled I did that. You realise quickly that vanity can be quite worthless. When I was younger, I wasn’t sure I wanted to act because I was told it would be so hard for me, and possibly not an option at all, because of the way I looked. I leapt at the opportunity to play a character that was so outside the realms of convention. I love the part because it defies gender stereotypes and it defies aspects of femininity that always told me ‘no’.” - Gwendoline Christie for Bazaar UK (December 2014)
