Actor Ella Purnell grew up too fast: “You shouldn’t really have to ask yourself about your career and your taxes when you’re 15,” jokes the 28-year-old Brit. She landed her first film at just 13, playing the young Keira Knightley in the sci-fi “Never Let Me Go.” From there, Purnell quickly gained recognition as the child star who could pull off action-packed features in “Kick-Ass 2” or enchant the screen with roles in fantasy films “Maleficent” and “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.” But it wasn’t until her 20s that she truly hit her stride, breaking into television with shows like suspense-filled series “Yellowjackets.” “I’ve fallen in and out of love with my job a thousand times,” she told Forbes. “It wasn’t really until my early twenties that I redefined my profession and decided to do it on my own terms.” Now Purnell is really stepping into the spotlight: She’s starring in Amazon Prime’s sci-fi series “Fallout“–which was viewed by 65 million in its first two weeks of release last April and then renewed for a second season–and Sky Atlantic’s psychological thriller “Sweetpea,” a project Purnell executive produces. Off screen, she’s built a following of 1.8 million and forged partnerships with iconic brands including Prada Beauty, MiuMiu and Chanel.

Erin Walsh Hello dear Ella. It’s clear from this photo shoot that you are clearly Helena Christensen’s long lost daughter. Glad to have reunited you! Tell me a little bit about your beginnings, how you got to HERE. Where are you from? How did you get started in acting?
Ella Purnell Hah! Now there’s a compliment!! I’m honoured! I guess it all happened very organically. I was born and raised in East London, UK. I was a very creative kid. Always acting, singing, or dancing. I loved reading, making things, writing my own books, and playing piano. I did a German commercial for the sweet ‘Toffifee’ when I was 9, and then my first film when I was 12. It all sort of snowballed from there really. Balancing school and work became the norm. I hit 18 and went travelling for a few months, which helped me figure out some stuff as I made that awkward transition from child actor to working adult. I started becoming more passionate about the creative process behind my work. I started becoming more selective about my roles. And I started developing interests outside of acting; music, poetry, mental wellbeing, travel, feminism, writing, fashion. I took some time off. I jumped back in. And here we are, 2019!

Before I landed my dream job at Who What Wear nine years ago, I worked as a waitress at a fancy establishment in my hometown, a personal fact I contribute to the immediate kinship I feel with actress Ella Purnell upon speaking with her. To be fair, Purnell is not actually a waitress, though she does play one on the Starz series Sweetbitter, a role that allows us to bond for a full 10 minutes over the “mental” restaurant industry; the long hours, the romantic relationships that inevitably form, and of course, the drama. We LOVE the drama.
My phone call with Purnell takes place days after she wrapped a whirlwind NYC press trip (and this shoot!) for the second season of Sweetbitter, which premiered last Sunday. She is back in her hometown of London working on her next project, the corset drama Belgravia, which is set for 2020. It’s been nonstop for the actress, but despite the fact that it’s 10 p.m. her time and she is just getting home from a long day of filming, I’m greeted with a cheerful tone on the other end of the line. We dive straight into the important topics: fashion, career, and Sweetbitter and Tess, a character whose personal growth experiences on the show are coincidentally mirroring Purnell’s own. “It’s kind of funny how those things work out,” she tells me of the similarities between herself and her on-screen counterpart. This may be the year Tess happens to life, as Purnell puts it, but it’s also the year Purnell happens to life, revealing it’s been one full of intriguing career firsts. Oh, what a thrilling time to be the 22-year-old.
