Kaya Scodelario Wants To Be Part of a New Generation

Kaya Scodelario steps out at the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project held at Alexandra Palace last month in London.

The 19-year-old actress was also spotted at the 20th Anniversary celebration of Dazed & Confused Magazine at Somerset House.

Kaya recently chatted with London Evening Standard about booking the role of Cathy in Wuthering Heights.

“I thought I didn’t deserve to do a period film,” Kaya shared. “I thought you had to be very blonde, a bit older, to have been to drama school. I auditioned for Emma with the BBC when I was 16, and there were all these girls who looked so pretty and English and perfect and calm. I burst into tears and ran out.”

She added, “I want to be part of this new generation of actors that isn’t squeaky clean, that is a bit edgy and different. I like the idea of a new generation uprising.”
