Childhood and Early Life

Freya Allan was born on September 6, 2001, in Oxfordshire, Southern England. School came easily to her, and she earned excellent grades throughout her secondary education. But one thing always captivated Freya more than math and physics.

The young performer was incredibly artistic, demonstrating amazing talent at Starcast Performing Arts School through singing and dancing, quickly becoming a star in school plays.

At twelve, she joined the Tangled Ballet Team, which found success performing at an Oxford Theatre. Freya loved film and theater, dreaming of becoming a school success story like Harry Potter star Emma Watson, who also attended the same school. All her dreams have come true.

Acting Career

In 2017, Freya Allan landed her first film roles. That year, she appeared in three short films from British directors. The standout was a 14-minute film called Captain Fierce, which showcased a brilliant pairing between Freya Allan and young British actor Jack Whettingsteel.

In the short film, Danny and Linda meet only once a year when the girl's family comes to town for a fair. The pair discover an old sailing ship and decide to repair it for their own adventure.

In 2018, the young actress took on a bigger project. She landed a small role in the American TV series Into the Badlands. The series follows a warrior and a boy traveling the world in search of enlightenment. The series features impressive martial arts sequences performed by Chinese-American actor Daniel Wu and the cast. The theme song belongs to Mike Shinoda from the famous rock band, Linkin Park. In one of the episodes, Freya portrayed a Young Minerva named The Widow. Emily Beecham portrayed the Adult Minerva.

The Witcher

In late 2017, Freya Allan landed a role in Netflix's upcoming fantasy series The Witcher. Based on the book series by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, the show takes place in a fantasy world reminiscent of late medieval Eastern Europe.

The series features several fresh faces. Freya Allan (Ciri) and Anya Chalotra (Yennefer) will play two female leads. The young actresses join Henry Cavill, who portrays Geralt, a witcher and nomadic monster hunter.

Allan's character, Cirilla (Ciri for short), is a Princess of Cintra and Geralt's ward. She has amazing powers. Producer Lauren Schmidt said they auditioned over 200 young women from across Europe and saw many talented actresses, but then Freya caught their attention—even though she was originally auditioning for a different role. Schmidt later flew to London to meet Allan in person and confirm she was their Ciri.

Polish fans especially welcomed the producers' decision to cast a white actress as Ciri. Earlier media reports had suggested producers were considering casting a Black actress for Princess Ciri.

Fantasy fans criticized what they saw as Hollywood's liberal agenda, accusing it of mocking their culture.
First, they [the Western media] will take your culture disrespectfully, and then they will call you a racist if you refuse to support them, angry Twitter users wrote.
Fortunately, producers chose to preserve The Witcher's Slavic roots and present these stories authentically to global audiences. Jodhi May (Game of Thrones and Genius), an Icelandic actor Björn Hlynur Haraldsson (Fortitude), Adam Levy (Knightfall and Snatch), MyAnna Buring (Descent and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1), Lars Mikkelsen (older brother of Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen) and other actors round out the cast. The series premiered in late 2019.

Private Life of Freya Allan

Freya Allan remains focused on her career. Fans believe the young actress is single, but if she's dating someone, she's keeping it private.
As a teenage actress, Allan makes pretty good money. Though her exact salary isn't public, industry watchers estimate Freya's projects have earned her around $500,000 through The Witcher.

Carla Gugino, Michelle Yeoh, Paul Giamatti, and some other actors will also appear in the film. The premiere is expected in 2021.

  • It is too early to talk about the talent of the actress and to think of something. If she is destined to become an actress, then I think so!
