This time, it is the story of an ugly duckling turning into a white swan, and the heroine of the story is called Vanessa Kirby.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">01</h1>
Vanessa was born in 1988 to an ordinary family in London, England, to a physician father and a magazine editor to a mother.
Vanessa had a very difficult life as a child, mainly due to her experience in school.
When she was in elementary school, she was bullied by other female classmates in the class.
The reason for bullying her is not that she is outstanding, or that she causes jealousy among other girls or anything, but that people think she is ugly and look down on her.
Interestingly, the teachers in the class at that time actually knew that the classmates had been bullying little Vanessa.
Maybe her bullying classmates are more powerful, or maybe she doesn't like Vanessa either, so she doesn't take any action, but ignores this kind of thing.
Little Vanessa was very timid and did not dare to tell her parents about these things, but was more cautious in school.
Due to years of bullying, Vanessa was in poor health and later suffered from the intestinal parasite Giardiasis.
Because of her severe condition, Vanessa often feels nauseous and wants to throw up, and she has to go to the hospital for injections all year round and carry medicine with her to school.
But this kind of thing did not make the school demons let her go, they only intensified their ridicule:
"Sick and sick! You deserve to be sick! ”
"Sick straw! No wonder no one plays with you! ”
The teacher was equally indifferent to this.
It wasn't until after the parent-teacher conference after the end of elementary school and Vanessa's mother came to school that the class teacher told the story.
Moreover, the words are full of disdain:
"Congratulations to your girlfriend, I'm so happy that it's all survived."
However, despite these events, Vanessa is still full of expectations for life.
Recalling the experience as an adult, she also said with a smile:
"I was lucky because my family had a good economic environment and my family loved me."

Vanessa and the profession of actor are related to a poster.
With few friends at school, Vanessa most of the time bounced around alone.
At one point, she saw a poster of Ben Weschaud's Hamlet on the bulletin board, like many teenage girls.
"This actor is so handsome!"
After becoming Ben's fan, Vanessa also went to see his plays three times.
It was also at that time that she began to target the actor profession.
It is also interesting to say that at first Vanessa wanted to be an actress, in fact, she was a child with a general mentality, thinking that if I became an actor, I would be able to meet idols, and maybe I could still be with others.
But when she was exposed to acting-related knowledge, she found that she really liked acting and really treated it as if it were her dream.
However, when Vanessa wanted to systematically study acting-related courses, bristol's Old Vic School of Drama refused her admission.
Vanessa, who was hit by the blow, suddenly felt that her dream was out of reach of her, and in order to calm her emotions, she rested for a year, after which she could only enter the university.
But bad luck never left her.
When she was in college, she shared a room with another very good roommate in the suburbs, but that roommate was a violent maniac and very unstable.
After a drunken encounter, her roommate beat her up so hard that she took out everything with a stick stool.
As a result, Vanessa was bruised by the beating and admitted to the hospital, while the roommate was ordered to withdraw from school.
But Vanessa faced all this, and she accepted it very calmly:
"It was a terrible experience, but I'm lucky, at least I survived, didn't I?"
This girl, born with this kind of character, does not want and does not want to let negative things entangle her.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03</h1>
Vanessa could never give up her love of acting.
In order to chase her dreams, she herself practiced her acting skills and learned about acting in her extracurricular time.
After graduation, she knew that she had no connections and was not from a professional acting background, and there was no way to find any way.
She had to honestly go to a talent agency to see if there were any small plays near London that had roles for herself.
Kung Fu pays off.
Vanessa's interview with a theater director was originally limited to 40 minutes, but it turned out to be 3 hours.
Why?
Because Vanessa showed a professional degree in the interview, unlike those who came from the wild road and wanted to mix quick money.
In this way, it aroused the interest of the director, who wanted to see how the girl compared to those professional performers.
After all, "value for money" is a very important thing.
Although Vanessa is not from the drama school, if her strength is not inferior to those graduates, then the director will really pick up the treasure, because the non-professional background, the hiring fee is always a way to lower.
The end result was that the director was quite satisfied, and then gave Vanessa three theatrical roles.
Vanessa did not relax, and her extraordinary talent in her first official drama "All My Sons" won her BEST NEWCOMER Award from BIZA.
Later Vanessa, she acted in many plays in succession, has always been conscientious, and has also performed at the National Theatre.
And her performance has also begun to be recognized by more and more people, including the Guardian, The Independent and other media have noticed this actress who has just debuted.
The basic public agrees on one thing.
Vanessa is a promising newcomer actress.
In 2011, Vanessa was finally able to fulfill her childhood dream.
When she starred in the drama "Time of the Show", she met her idol Ben Weishaw.
At that time, Vanessa met her idol for the first time, and her eyes could not be separated from him, so she was scolded by the director.
Later Vanessa also made fun of this:
"I couldn't control my excitement when I saw Ben, and he encouraged me to continue in the industry, but unfortunately he already had a girlfriend."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">04</h1>
With her own efforts, Vanessa soon encountered an opportunity to completely "transform" herself into a white swan.
At that time, there was a "Crown" TV series in the process of casting, which was co-produced by the United States and Britain, and it was a historical drama.
Obviously, as an American and British actor, the ultimate goal must be Hollywood.
In fact, Vanessa has appeared in some films before, but it is basically a very marginal little dragon suit.
For Hollywood capital to notice her, she does need better work.
Vanessa was auditioning for Princess Margaret of the British royal family in her youth.
In order to get the role, Vanessa put a lot of effort into it.
She changed everything in her life to something related to the British royal family.
I bought a bunch of history books, biographical books, and I kept reading them when I was at home, even when I went to the toilet.
Study the behavior of members of the royal family and imitate them in ordinary life to make the actions look more natural.
I bought a bunch of classical royal music and opened it every day as soon as I got home.
It took 6 months for her to finally be selected.
And "The Crown" is also very successful, Vanessa starred in it, Princess Margaret, is a woman with a classical royal family temperament, but also yearns to be unruly and comfortable.
Vanessa's performance in it is quite outstanding, and it is a good interpretation of the two states of the princess.
It was also because of this drama that her fame was greatly enhanced, and she was later nominated for an Emmy Award (one of the three Awards in the United States).
Vanessa, who was noticed by Hollywood, was also photographed and starred in the first commercial blockbuster movie "Mission Impossible 6: Total Disintegration", in which she cooperated with a superstar of Atango's level.
In "Disc 6", Vanessa also shows another side of herself, because this is a commercial film, her role is not a heroine, so there is not much room for play in terms of acting.
In this film, all she needs is to show her beauty, and fierceness.
Vanessa's answer also satisfied the audience.
For this reason, she was later selected for "Fast and Furious" to play a heroic female agent in it.
Being able to perform in two major commercial productions shows that Vanessa has already gained a foothold in Hollywood.
But she is obviously not satisfied with stopping here, after all, commercial films and literary films are two different things.
Therefore, she did not give up continuing to work in acting, and with the film "Fragments of a Woman", she won the Best Actress Award at the 77th Venice International Film Festival and became a Venice film queen.
Today's Vanessa, the future film contract is still "Mission Impossible 7~8", and it is conceivable that she will not interrupt her pursuit of acting.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">05</h1>
If I had to evaluate Vanessa Kirby in a few words, it would be:
"The girl who loves to laugh won't have too bad luck."
"As long as there is perseverance, the iron pestle is ground into a needle."
It is said that people who have an unpleasant childhood are often spending their lives to heal themselves, but Vanessa is an exception.
Because she learned early on how to live with the sunshine.
No matter what setbacks she encounters, she always smiles and faces them, and she does not think of taking any shortcuts, but she wants to bloom her own value for everyone to see.
The ugly duckling of the past is today's white swan.
