Childhood and First Screen Appearance

Lucy Christabel Boynton was born in New York on January 17, 1994, but five years after her birth, the Boynton family moved to London. Lucy is the daughter of a famous British journalist, Graham Boynton, and a writer, Adriaane Pielou. The girl has an older sister named Emma Louise.

Lucy was a dramatic child. Her favorite childhood film was the family drama My Girl. The story follows the complicated relationship between 11-year-old tomboy Vada (Anna Chlumsky) and the world around her. Inspired by Chlumsky's performance, Boynton would rewind a funeral scene repeatedly, then practice crying in front of the bathroom mirror for hours.

Boynton's first screen appearance was as a young Beatrix Potter in the British-American film Miss Potter (2006). Renée Zellweger portrayed the adult Beatrix. Later, Lucy said that the first day of filming was the best day of her life.

In 2007, she was nominated for the Young Artist Award in the category Best Supporting Young Actress in a Feature Film for portraying the young Beatrix, but the award went to Emma Roberts for her acting in the American Australian fantasy-comedy Aquamarine.

In that same year, Lucy portrayed Posy Fossil, one of three lead characters in the BBC film Ballet Shoes. The girl portrayed a young and ambitious ballet dancer who was improving her skills at a prestigious dance academy. A ballet dancer performed Boynton's dance scenes. Emma Watson and Yasmin Paige portrayed sisters of Lucy's character.

Acting Career

After her brilliant debut and impressive career trajectory, Lucy earned recognition in film, with her reputation growing stronger each year. This was largely because she steered clear of typical rom-coms and comedy series. Lucy stuck to her convictions and refused generic, easy roles—a strategy that ultimately helped establish her as one of Hollywood's most promising young actresses. All those years of hard work and tears finally paid off, Boynton later joked.
In 2010, Boynton appeared in the TV miniseries Sense & Sensibility, and two years later landed a role in Philip Martin's biographical drama Mo, starring Julie Walters. In 2011, she appeared in the fourth episode of Lewis's fifth season, and in 2013, audiences got to see Lucy's performance in Ronald F. Maxwell's independent Civil War drama Copperhead. She also appeared in British musician Saint Raymond's music video for "Fall at Your Feet."

In 2012, Lucy graduated from high school and entered college, requiring her to take a brief creative hiatus. Despite huge opportunities in film, she chose to prioritize her education. Anthropology and psychology were among her favorite college subjects. Boynton believes it's difficult to be a strong actor without understanding psychology.

In 2014 and 2015, Boynton appeared in several episodes of TV shows including Borgia, Endeavour, and other series. Later, she worked alongside her Young Artist Awards competitor Emma Roberts in the horror film February, directed by Oz Perkins.

According to Zoomboola.com, 2016 proved incredibly productive for Lucy, with three major film projects featuring her being released, including the musical film Sing Street (she portrayed a rock singer, Raphina), horror film I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House by Oz Perkins, and Don't Knock Twice by Caradog W. James (she portrayed a teenage girl named Chloe).
It was incredible how the attitude of casting directors changed after I had gone from brunette to blonde. I auditioned for the same projects, the same roles with different hair colors, but when I went to blonde, I heard everyone saying something like this, Great, you`ll be portraying that careless girl. I try to avoid such things.
In January 2017, the world premiere of the drama Rebel in the Rye took place. It's a biographical drama about American writer Jerome David Salinger, who became famous for his novel The Catcher in the Rye. Besides Boynton, Zoey Deutch, Kevin Spacey, and Nicholas Hoult also starred in the film.

In May 2017, the film Let Me Go by Polly Steele was presented in Great Britain. It's a drama exploring mothers and daughters, examining how echoes of the past shape the present. Lucy Boynton, Juliet Stevenson, Jodhi May, and Karin Bertling portrayed the lead characters. In September 2017, the world premiere of the TV show Gypsy took place. It's a drama about a New York psychotherapist whose professional boundaries blur as her destructive obsessions damage both her patients' lives and her own. Naomi Watts portrayed the lead character, with Lucy appearing as Allison, a 19-year-old patient struggling with drug addiction who recently dropped out of school and is desperately trying to hide it from her mother.

That same month, it was announced that Lucy would portray Mary Austin, the close friend and great love of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, in the biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. A star of the TV show Mr. Robot, Rami Malek, portrayed Freddie.

In November, the audience had a chance to appreciate Lucy's acting in the sensational screen version of the detective Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. The actress portrayed the frail Countess Helena Andrenyi, wife of Hungarian Count Rudolph Andrenyi (Sergei Polunin) and younger sister of Sonia Armstrong (Miranda Raison).

In 2018, Gareth Evans' psychological thriller Apostle was released, with Lucy portraying one of the leads—a woman kidnapped by a religious sect. Dan Stevens became her castmate. However, it was Bohemian Rhapsody—earning Oscar nominations and winning over both critics and audiences—that became the year's true sensation.
