Ruth Negga

The "alien" appearance of this actress, coupled with a brilliant talent, literally fascinate the viewer watching her play. Ruth Negg's first claim to success was the role of Charlie in the Irish director Neil Jordan's Breakfast on Pluto.

Then she started her career on television, which grew into worldwide popularity thanks to the MCU series "Agents of SHIELD". And finally, in 2016, Ruth took the first step towards the coveted Oscar statuette, being nominated for the Best Actress for her work in the drama Loveing.

Ruth Negga was born on January 7, 1982 in Addis Ababa. Knorr's mother, an Irish national, met her future Ethiopian husband, Dr. Neggu, while working as a nurse in the capital. Soon the couple had a daughter, Ruth.

When the girl was 4 years old, her mother took her to Ireland due to the unstable political situation in the country. The father was supposed to follow them after a while, but after 3 years he died in an accident. The mother had a hard time going through the tragedy, she never married again and devoted herself to raising her daughter.

Ruth spent her childhood in Limerick, Irish, along with numerous cousins. After graduating from school, she studied at Trinity College, Dublin, where the renowned Irish playwright Samuel Beckett was educated. Having become the owner of a diploma in acting, the 20-year-old girl moves to London, where she hones her skills, conquering the theatrical stage. Among Negg's outstanding theatrical works is Shakespeare's Ophelia at the Royal National Theater.

The actress admits that, despite growing up in a completely non-aggressive environment, from an early age she felt a kind of isolation.

Perhaps this feeling of alienation inspired her to create vivid film images. Sometimes these are strange people living in the world of their dreams, and sometimes they are outright marginalized. Following her debut in Capital Letters in 2004 as Taiwo, Ruth Negga starred in Irish director Neil Jordan's Breakfast on Pluto, opposite Cillian Murphy.

Moreover, Jordan deliberately changed the script to introduce a role for Ruth, whose performance impressed him incredibly. Charlie, a pregnant Irish terrorist girl, earned the budding film actress a nomination for the Irish Film and Television Academy IFTA Award for Best Supporting Actress.

In the same year, the actress made her debut in the horror genre, starring in the film "Isolation" about the terrible consequences of a genetic experiment on livestock on an abandoned farm in Ireland. The filmography continued with the drama Being Stanley Kubrick. The episode is very short, but on the set with John Malkovich himself.

2008-2009 годы отмечены плодотворной работой на телевидении. Рут сезон снимается в британском детективе «Уголовное правосудие», после чего ее ждет главная роль в комедии «Секретарши». Сериал рассказывает о жизни 6 близких подруг, работающих персональными помощницами у больших боссов.

Но самой резонансной работой актрисы этого периода стал сериал «Отбросы» (2010), представленный в смешении жанров драмы, комедии и научной фантастики. В центре сюжета - группа молодых правонарушителей, которые проходят наказание общественными работами.

Попав под удар молнии, они становятся самыми настоящими супергероями, их возможности безграничны. Героиня Рут Негга – Никки, девушка, ставшая обладательницей дара телепортации, - продержалась в проекте 6 сезонов. А сама актриса заработала номинацию на премию IFTA Award.

Новый проект, за который берется талантливая артистка – фильм-биография о британской певице Ширли Бэсси, мировую известность которой принесли саундтреки к фильмам о Джеймсе Бонде («Голдфингер», «Бриллианты навсегда», «Мунрэйкер» и другие). За роль знаменитой исполнительницы Негга получила-таки первую награду IFTA Award.

В творчестве актрисы особняком стоит 2013 год. Прежде всего он отмечен большим количеством вышедших с участием Рут проектов. Актриса отметилась небольшой ролью доктора ВОЗ в постапокалиптическом блокбастере «Война миров Z», продюсером и исполнителем главной роли выступил Брэд Питт.

Также вместе с Питтом Рут работает и на площадке картины «12 лет рабства», получившей 3 статуэтки «Оскар», в том числе и за лучший фильм года, а также премию Британской киноакадемии и «Золотой глобус». Отмечен этот год и успехами на телевидении. Негга начала сниматься в рейтинговом американском сериале о супергероях «Агенты Щ.И.Т.». Героиня Рут - бывший агент организации HYDRA, принадлежит к расе «нелюдей» и занимается научными экспериментами.

После 3 сезонов в «Агентах…» актриса присоединяется к другому проекту – «Проповедник» (2016), также снятому по одноименному комиксу. В центре сюжета - техасский проповедник Джесси Кастер (Доминик Купер), его бывшая пассия Тьюлип О’Хара (Рут Негга) и лучший друг, вампир-алкоголик Кэссиди (Джозеф Гилган), отправляющиеся в путешествие в поисках Бога.

Начало съемок в «Проповеднике» совпало для Рут с выходом на большие экраны фэнтези-боевика «Варкрафт», где она сыграла Леди Тарью, королеву Штормграда. Кассовый проект, собравший в мире более $ 4 млн, принес актерам невероятную популярность. Но в этом же году актрису ждет еще больший успех: за роль в британо-американской драме «Лавинг» она номинирована на премию «Оскар».

В роль Милдред Лавинг актриса действительно вложила нечто большее, чем просто актерский талант. В этой работе ожили ее собственные воспоминания о межрасовом браке родителей и личные ощущения от взросления в стране, где ее внешность считалась экзотикой.

The plot of the film, directed by Jeff Nichols, is based on a true story that took place in Virginia in 1958. Richard and Mildred were married despite the state's legal prohibition on interracial marriage. Lovers go through arrest, trials and prisons to win the right to be together. And only in 1967, similar marriages were legalized throughout America.

In 2010, Ruth Negga, while working on the production of Phaedra, met the British actor Dominic Cooper, the star of the musical Mamma Mia! and the melodrama "Education of the Senses".

The actors met for 8 years, carefully hiding their personal lives from others, only occasionally appearing together in film and television projects (Warcraft, The Preacher). Fans were upset to learn about the couple's separation in April 2018.

There is one consolation - Ruth and Dominic parted as good friends and in the summer posed nicely for photographers at the premiere of the 3rd season of The Preacher.

The miniature actress (height 160 cm), in addition to cinema and theater, is engaged in the fashion industry and is often filmed for famous fashion houses.

Negga is not active on social media, and fans find out about the news from her fan pages on Instagram.

In 2019, the science fiction drama "To the Stars" is expected to be released with the participation of Ruth Negg. Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones starred in the film about the journey through the solar system.

Theater also occupies an important place in the work of the Irish woman. On September 27, 2018, the premiere of Hamlet took place at the Gate Theater in Dublin, where Ruth played the main role.
