Acting Career

At a certain point, the young actress got tired of all the popularity which so suddenly invaded her life, so she decided to take a break from acting and tend to her personal life.

One day she was accidentally spotted in the market by the director Richard Hobert. Rebecca’s unusual looks had such an impression on this master director that, without a second thought, he offered her the leading role in his movie A One Way Trip to Antibes.

Rebecca’s aristocratic beauty did not go unnoticed and she received the role of Elizabeth Woodville in the movie. After the movie was released, the Swedish actress became famous outside her own country and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award.

The sequence of lucky chances in Rebecca’s life didn’t stop there. In 2014 the filming of the fifth installment in the Mission Impossible blockbuster series began. Tom Cruise - the all-time lead actor of this franchise - hand-picked Rebecca to be his partner in the movie after seeing her act in The White Queen series, and he didn’t make a mistake. Despite her exquisite looks, the actress proved to be a true superhero.
