Bella Heathcote Remembers Being Discouraged About Following Her Dream

Bella Heathcote Remembers Being Discouraged About Following Her Dream

Bella Heathcote is cool and collected in these stunning shots from Who What Wear‘s February fashion feature.

The 28-year-old Pride and Prejudice and Zombies actress opened up about set life with castmates Lily James and Suki Waterhouse, overcoming rejection in Hollywood, and dressing for the red carpet. Check it:

On getting close with her on-screen sisters: We played a lot of ‘Would You Rather’. I think at one point we even scandalized Sam [Riley] and the boys. It got pretty wrong. I grew up with boys, so it was really fun for me to have that kind of environment.”

On pursuing her love of acting: “I remember meeting with the counselor, and they told me, ‘That’s not a career. You need to come up with what you are going to study at university.’ I went to college for a year and then basically dropped out and went to drama school. I guess I always knew that’s what I wanted to do, but I finally admitted it to myself when I was 19.”

On her red carpet fashion: “It feels like I’m putting on a costume, and that it doesn’t have to be a reflection of me all the time.”
