This British actress is one of those who have long sought recognition. We had to wait for our finest hour for more than ten years, remaining unnoticed in secondary images. Rosamund Pike, whose photographs adorn the covers of glossy magazines, is a model beauty, a dramatic actress, and even a musician. The creative path of the Englishwoman, her ups and downs, her best works and personal life will be discussed in this article.
Nature does not rest on the children of geniuses
She did not follow in the direct footsteps of her no less stellar parents. Rosie, as she was called in childhood, found her recognition in another. When they talk about Rosamund Pike, they recall opera singers Carolina and Julian. They did not insist on continuing the career dynasty, but allowed their daughter herself to find her place in life. After studying at the Bristol boarding school, the future actress entered the youth theater, where she played leading roles for three seasons. Juliet remains the most famous in the classic production of the famous work.
Study and favorite hobby
At the same time, Rosie understood that she should acquire a worthy profession, to which she can always join, if she fails to realize the dream of becoming a screen star. At Oxford, Rosamund Pike studies literature. But again, he can’t do without his main hobby. Several student productions more clearly indicate that in this direction the girl will succeed in the best way possible. Encouraged by her first theatrical successes, she goes on a small tour with the only production of the play The Taming of the Shrew.
Because of the desk on the screen
The actress herself does not consider her debut appearance on television a peak of skill. On the contrary, it was the first experience that she took for granted. In 1998, Rosamund Pike was awarded a small appearance in the drama "Marriage in English." At the last year of Oxford, she already shone on the stage of the Playhouse theater and at the same time got a role in the family saga "Wives and Daughters". Michael Gambon and Francesca Ennis, who were little-known abroad, became her partners, but Rosie was pleased with the acquaintance and the game with them on the same platform.
In the life of every artist, making his way to the pinnacle of popularity, there comes a time when more and more are talking about him. Rosamund Pike was no exception. The photo of the beginning star graced the pages of Vanity Fair, which dedicated the issue to “Wives and Daughters”. The publication praised the game Rosie, which over the course of nine months of shooting was transferred to the era of the XVII century, where the plot is developing. Definitely, this was the first vivid mention of the actress, whose fame was gaining momentum. After filming the series, Rosamund Pike returns to the theater, which is waiting for her with the main role in the play "Rhinoceros". And then, for nine weeks, turns into the English aristocrat Fanny for filming in the military drama Love in a Cold Climate.
Intercontinental recognition
With a bachelor's degree, the actress forgets about the delights of university life and focuses solely on her career. The theatrical stages, which are always glad to see her, also go by the wayside. Throughout his creative career, Rosie will actively alternate between filming a movie with playing on stage. The latter, she says in an interview, remains her first love, which the actress is not going to forget.
Although Holly Berry became another James Bond girlfriend, there was a place for Rosamund Pike in Die But Not Now. The photo of the actress got into the promo of the twentieth film about the adventures of the world's best spy. What did Rosie remember this movie? First of all, the fact that her heroine Miranda Frost had a passionate affair with Bond. However, the audience will not see hot explicit scenes in the picture. It was for this reason that they were cut out by the producers, but she definitely liked the footage, as Pike later admitted in a humorous manner.
It was a real high point. The actress was not only noticed in Hollywood, but also accepted into her ranks. In 2004 and subsequent years, a number of paintings were published, finally staking out her place in the Land of Dreams. In the drama The Promised Land, the heroine Pike is abused and sold into slavery; in Pride and Prejudice, Rosie appears in the guise of one of the Bennett sisters, and then enters the main cast of the erotic biography The Libertine. A successful period of creative take-off ends with a horror movie called Doom.
The idol of millions - an object for research
About how the paparazzi work, the actress learned even before she moved to Hollywood. However, even now it will be a mistake to call her the home of Dreamland. Pike lives in central London, where she was born in 1979, and visits the United States for filming in American films, feeling comfortable on both sides of the ocean.
Dozens of fan clubs are dedicated to actress Rosamund Pike. The girl’s personal life is of interest to admirers of her talent no less than the pictures annually released with her participation. Simon Woods became the actress's first love . The affair with the famous actor lasted for six years. Since 2004, Pike's heart has been owned by the artist Henry John. On the set of the film “Pride and Prejudice”, an actress and director Joe Wright started an affair that did not go unnoticed by the rest of the crew. Lovers announced the upcoming wedding in 2008, but a few months before she broke up.
To be loved is to be happy
The beauty, natural charm and talent of the recognized dramatic actress played a role in the fact that the place next to Rosie was almost never empty. Rosamund Pike and Robi Uniak met in 2009. New 2010 year, the actress and cameraman met together. In 2012 and 2014, the sons Solo and Atom were born to the couple.
The actress plays the cello perfectly, knows German and French. In his free time he arranges a family hearth and is engaged with young children.
The film, which brought the greatest audience love, was the drama "Disappeared." The director of the film, David Fincher, looked at many applicants for a key female role, including Natalie Portman, Olivia Wilde and Charlize Theron, but Rosamund Pike gave preference. Photos of the actress in the company of her screen partner Ben Affleck appeared on the network in 2013, then it became obvious that this was another large-scale Hollywood project.
By the way, every film by Fincher is a masterpiece. The results were not long in coming: “Vanished” brought the studios huge profits and an Oscar nomination, which Rosamund Pike got.
