A few snaps from the most crazy few days in Abu Dhabi… Being an actor is completely bonkers, sometimes 🤯🙏🏻♥️

In a completely mad twist of fate, yesterday I booked a super last minute commercial job… That I did not think would go my way.

I booked it at 4:00pm.

At 9:25pm that night I was sitting on a plane about to take off to go shoot it.

Lads, I’m in Abu Dhabi 😂🇦🇪🫶🏻

Life. Is. Mad.

I couldn’t bring myself to watch the inauguration of that absolute plum.

But from what I’m now hearing and seeing images of… It sounds about as awful as one would imagine.

Ugh.

SENSATIONAL.

Oh, but LOOK AT HER 😍😍😍

Last year I booked and filmed my first TV job… A very poorly woman in BBC’s Casualty. It was an emotional first job - and I’m so grateful for it and to have worked with such brilliant cast and crew.

Here’s to 2025. Here’s to an exciting, productive year for all my fellow creatives ♥️

A new year doesn’t change anything by magic, of course. But life does have its odd rhythms and things can go up abruptly as well as down - as discussed by the Greek tragedies and Alanis Morissette. So if 2024 has been rough on you, keep the faith and good luck as we go round again.

Christmas pudding or head of Hades?

Feeling the need to say, “yes, I know, I’m sorry, I love you, I’ll be back soon, I love you, I’m sorry” EVERY TIME I LEAVE THE HOUSE.

It’s been a while, but occasionally I draw portraits… I need to pick up a pencil again soon - get back in the groove.

These are some of the ones I’m most pleased with ☺️

Grayson Perry
Sophie Okonedo
David Bowie
Eddie Redmayne

‘And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible."

- Alan Rickman

Her spotty tummy brings me much joy ♥️

Honey being… beyond adorable, frankly 😍

So, when I’m not acting, I work in a lovely bakery… Fingers crossed one day there will be more line-learning and less coffee-making BUT y’know what… I do rather love this job, too. I work with such talented folk. And they’re kind and so supportive of my dreams.

Big love to hospitality staff ♥️

I wasn’t familiar with this poem… but I think it’s rather beautiful.

Apologies for the phone shadow.

Post you from a different era
1995… Having a cracking time on a table in a cottage in the Highlands.

Strength and honour…

Lets go!

Thanks, lovely! These were done by the brilliant Rosie at Yellowbelly!

Cheeky little headshot share… ‘cause why not?

Wolf Hall - The Mirror and the Light is astoundingly good.

Mark Rylance is mighty in his softness and understated delicacy… And yet you still see the steeliness and cold calculation in his looks. He’s so incredibly inspiring to me. His stillness is entrancing.

Watch now!
