Rebecca Ferguson naturally demonstrates that it is neither an impossible mission nor an excessively Herculean task to shine on the screen. Everything is a matter of work and perseverance, without giving up in the face of difficulties.

He was born in Stockholm, but his mother is British, who moved to Sweden at the age of 25. She was already aware of some magnetism at an early age, since as a teenager she was already a model in magazines and television advertisements, for clothing and makeup products. At the age of 16 she entered the Adolf Fredriks Musikskola, so that in that of music and moving the skeleton she immediately acquired practice, to the point that she practices tango, ballet, tap, jazz and street funk. It seems that her last name links her to the famous Sarah Ferguson, but in any case it would be a distant relationship.

His first acting jobs were for Swedish television, Nya Tider and Ocean Ave. While her debut in cinema was The Ghost of the Lake . Also in Wallander they required her services, but her international emergence on the big screen has come from The White Queen , a historical series where she gives life to Queen Elizabeth of England. In fact, this is where she was discovered by Tom Cruise and required for Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation . Although she had done before, also in Hollywood, Hercules , where she replies as Hergenia to Dwayne Johnson .

Now her role as Ilsa in Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie ‘s spy tape, where she also walks through Casablanca, has given her fair fame, although it may be too fast to start comparing her with her compatriot Ingrid Bergman , who did Casablanca preciselywith a character of the same name. To play the action heroine, she underwent intense training, six hours a day of Pilates and martial arts, for six weeks. Interestingly, Rebecca suffers from vertigo and claustrophobia, but they were not obstacles to playing the role of her, where she has done most of the scenes herself without a stunt double. “I love action movies. Because I like dance, I like to move, and more specifically I like to see the choreography of the fights and detect how the protagonists do it”, says the actress.

Will she achieve a more attractive career than her “impossible girl” predecessor Paula Patton ? In any case, she now has on her hands the shooting of a very appetizing film, the adaptation of Paula Hawkins’ best-seller The Girl on the Train , where she is going to direct Tate Taylor .

Rebecca is the mother of a child born in 2007, which she had with her then-boyfriend Ludwig Hallberg.
