Ellie Bamber, famously known for her role in “The Serpent,” has undergone a remarkable transformation to embody iconic supermodel Kate Moss in a highly anticipated biopic. The film’s production has officially begun.
The 27-year-old actress from Surrey was spotted filming scenes while dazzling in a sequined dress with a deep neckline, embodying the essence of the supermodel.
Embracing the role of the renowned Croydon-born model, Ellie Bamber was a doppelganger for Moss, notably as she recreated the fashion legend’s 30th birthday experience at the lavish Claridge’s. Her complete look was accentuated with blonde corkscrew curls and a classic combination of blue eyeshadow and nude lip gloss.
A striking portrayal was captured as Ellie skillfully puffed on a cigarette, delving deep into character for the on-screen portrayal.
The biographical motion picture, titled “Moss and Freud,” will delve into the narrative of Kate Moss electing to sit for a nude portrait by acclaimed artist Lucian Freud back in 2002. This event and the resulting portrait—later auctioned for a remarkable £3.9million at Christie’s—are said to have been life-changing for both parties involved.
Kate Moss herself, who holds the title of executive producer on the project, played a pivotal role in the casting process, specifically in the selection of Ellie Bamber for the part. Moss commented on the film’s progress and her excitement to see the final result, expressing her deep personal investment and involvement in its creation.
Ellie Bamber captured attention with her acting debut in 2014’s “The Falling” and has since then displayed her versatility across various roles. Notably, she starred in the BBC’s gripping thriller series “The Serpent,” where she portrayed Angela Knippenberg and showcased her talent through linguistic challenges in both Thai and German accents.
With the first glimpses of production well underway, audiences are eager to witness Ellie Bamber’s complete transformation into the iconic supermodel Kate Moss.
