Charles became a participant of the first UK reality show for entrepreneurs "Dragons' Den", which was held in Russia under the name "Capital". In the very first issue, Ejogo's investments in vending machines brought enormous profits, and the guy signed a contract with a well-known company.

Carmen herself attended the Oratory Primary Roman Catholic School in Chelsea until 1984, and then, after the first successful experience of filming at the age of 12, decided to focus on studying acting.

Movies

As mentioned above, Carmen Ejogo first appeared in the film at the age of 12. It was the British musical Absolute Beginners, in which the girl managed to work with David Bowie. Then there was a ten-year pause in the career of the actress. In 1996, Carmen returns with the fantastic thriller Cold Lazarus, followed by the crime comedy City Police with Eddie Murphy, the action-packed film I Want You with Rachel Weisz, the musical Love's Vain Efforts with Alicia Silverstone.

The historical and biographical film Scandal in the White House and the drama Boycott, for which Carmen was nominated for the NAACP Image Award, are considered important works of the actress. 1998 was marked in the actress's film career by working in the thriller The Avengers with Uma Thurman in the title role. Despite the scale of the project, the film turned out to be a disaster - eight nominations and one victory at the Golden Raspberry Awards.

Later, the filmography of the actress was annually replenished with 1-2 films. Among the large-scale projects with Ejogo's participation included the comedy "What Could Be Worse?", Where Carmen's partners on the set were comedians Martin Lawrence and Danny DeVito, as well as the musical drama "Lackawanna Blues", which received a Golden Globe nomination.

In addition, Carmen Ejogo played the main characters in the thriller Hour X and the melodrama Born to be Sad. Equally significant was the participation of the actress in the thriller "Judgment Night 2", where Carmen played the main character - nurse Eve. Together with her daughter, she has to flee from the hordes of murderers that take to the streets of the United States one day a year. Ejogo considered it a great honor to take part in the drama Selma, in which she played the role of Coretta Scott King, wife of Martin Luther King. The film focused on the movement for the rights of black citizens in America. The husband of the heroine Carmen was played by David Oyelowo.

In 2016, Carmen agreed to play Seraphina Pickvery in the fantasy adventure Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, where she starred opposite Colin Farrell, Alison Sudol, Eddie Redmayne.

The girl created and hosted her own video show on the American television channel BSB, where she could promote to the masses the music that she considered the highest quality and meets the needs of young people.

In the depths of the thicket, the couple with their teenage son meet other fugitives. Carmen, along with Joel Edgerton, played the married couple Sarah and Paul.

The actress copes equally well with roles in comedies, as evidenced by the crime film "Roman Israel, Esq" about an experienced lawyer who cannot come to an understanding with the new boss. The novel is different from those around him - he wears clothes of the 70s, the appropriate hairstyle and at the same time is endowed with a phenomenal memory. Carmen joined the main cast of the film alongside Denzel Washington and Colin Farrell. The actress played the role of the protagonist's colleague. The premiere took place at the Toronto Festival, but the director later re-edited the tape, making it shorter.
