Mia Wasikowska

Mia Wasikowska is an Australian film actress and director who gained wide international fame after the release of the fantasy film Alice in Wonderland. Mia's repertoire also includes the hits "Only Lovers Alive", "Jane Eyre" and "Crimson Peak".

Mia was born in the capital of Australia - Canberra. An older sister and a younger brother were brought up in the family of the future artist. The girl's parents worked as professional photographers. Mother Mažena Wasikowska was of Polish descent, and father John Reed was a native Australian. 8 years after the birth of Mia, the family moved to Poland for a whole year, to the mother's homeland, where the couple were awaiting official permission for a permanent Australian visa.

By the way, there are many disputes about the name of the actress. English-speaking people pronounce it as "Uazikouska", and in the Russian-speaking segment it is customary to say "Wasikowska". Mia herself insists that Vashikofska is the correct option.

After the family returned to the continental country, the girl enrolled in a ballet studio, where she studied for almost seven years. Mia dreamed of one day going on a big stage, so she got up to the barre every day and spent up to 35 hours a week on pointe. But there was also a comprehensive school.

Wasikovska did not become a ballerina, but already at the age of 15 the girl received an invitation to act in films. By agreeing to this, Mia revolutionized her own life.

The first appearance of 15-year-old Mia Vasikovskaya on the screen was in the crime drama "Lawlessness on the outskirts". Then there were other Australian films: the medical series "All Saints", the teen drama "September", the horror film "Crocodile" and other works. The young actress was noticed overseas, and the following scripts began to come to Vasikovskaya from Hollywood, which influenced Mia's creative biography. The girl got her own manager.

Mia played in the series about the psychoanalyst Patients, the psychological drama It's Evening Sun, the melodrama Amelia, the comedy The Kids Are Alright. By this time, the young Australian woman managed to work with the stars Richard Gere and Daniel Craig.

And in 2010, when a kind of version of the legendary tale "Alice in Wonderland" directed by Tim Burton was released, Mia Wasikowska suddenly turned into a world-class star. The actress recalls that on the set of the film she had to play more often with imaginary partners, whose place in the frame was taken by cardboard. This feature of the filming process helped the actress develop her imagination. The tale was a wild success, so six years later a sequel appeared - "Alice Through the Looking Glass".

After finishing work on the project, Mia cut off long curls and donated them to a fund to help children with cancer. The hair of the actress was used to create wigs for little patients. Having made a short haircut, Mia felt like an ordinary person again, the artist does not hide that fame and honor are not easy to give. And with short hair, the girl became less noticeable on the street, which made it easier for Mia to move outside the house.

Despite the worldwide recognition, Mia Wasikowska remains a modest girl who is always uncomfortable on the red carpets of film festivals. Mia worries every time about the danger of accidentally falling and exposing her leg. In addition, make-up becomes another problem, which under the rays of spotlights can unexpectedly "float".

And between these films, the actress managed to work on the set of the Jane Eyre melodrama. Mia read the book back in 2009 and immediately called the agent to find out if preparations were underway for the filming of the film adaptation. The girl was lucky: six months later, the actress was waiting for a contract with the British company BBC films, which began work on the novel by Charlotte Bronte. Along with Mia Vasikovskaya, Michael Fassbender, Jamie Bell and Judy Dench were invited to the main cast. The film itself won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design.

Later the filmography of the actress was replenished with works in the thriller "Vicious Games", the vampire story "Only Lovers Left Alive", the adventure film "Trails". Mia became so in demand that the directors employed the artist in at least four projects a year.

In 2013, Mia starred in the thriller "The Double", where she played the girl of the main character - the loser Simon (Jesse Eisenberg), whose life gradually passes to the double James, a successful manager. A year later, followed by work in the comedy "Star Map", where Mia got the role of a young adventurer who dreams of conquering Hollywood. For this, the girl made an acquaintance with the aging star Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore) and entered the house of the film star under an incredible pretext. The premiere took place in Cannes.

Among the latest films, the most popular among viewers are the mystical thriller Crimson Peak, the comedy Star Chart and the screen version of the classic novel Madame Bovary.

Few fans of the actress know that Mia is fond of writing scripts and staging films. In 2013, the girl participated in the creation of the film almanac "10 Moments of Destiny", which was filmed in Australia. At home, the film was nominated for a number of national awards. Three years later, Mia repeated a similar experience, presenting to the audience a film novel in the international almanac "Crazy".

The personal life of Mia Vasikovskaya is not as open as that of other star colleagues. The girl hides most of her romantic relationships from fans and ubiquitous journalists. It is only known that Mia had been dating actor Jesse Eisenberg for two years, whom she met on the set of the thriller "Double". But since 2015, young people are no longer together.

Perhaps the profession of parents in some incomprehensible way was genetically transmitted to Mia, because Wasikowska loves to photograph. Also among the hobbies of the artist are reading and hiking. The girl got used to travel from an early age, because together with her father and mother, still little Mia, she visited many European countries, including Russia, where an exhibition of works by Mazhena Vasikovskaya was held.

Interestingly, after Mia became famous, the Polish government approached the actress with a proposal to take a second, Polish citizenship, since the girl has the necessary data for this. But Wasikowska refused without specifying the reasons.

Wasikowska does not maintain an account on the Instagram network, where you can upload your favorite photos for fans to see. But on her behalf, an official group acts on the VKontakte network. Mia Vasikovskaya's Russian fan site is also active on Twitter.

Mia Wasikowska does not pursue the number of roles played, but she carefully chooses the staging material. In 2017, the actress delighted her fans by appearing in the rating international project - the biographical thriller "Himmler's Brain Is Called Heydrich", in which she played the heroine Anna Novak, the beloved of the Resistance member Jan Kubis (Jack O'Connell). The Lena was based on the story of the assassination attempt by a group of Czech saboteurs on the political leader of Nazi Germany, Reinhard Heydrich (Jason Clarke), who dealt with the Jewish question.

Now the actress is starring in the American thriller "Piercing", and also plays the heroine Penelope in the comedy western "Maid".
