Acting Background: Started training at 14 when she joined the National Youth Music Theatre (NYMT). She then studied at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School where she attained a BA in Acting graduating in 2009.
Her take on fashion: “I’m always on the lookout for a new vintage shop, that’s not one of the ones that everybody knows about, you know what I mean? Brick Lane is good for vintage, but everybody knows about it. Have you been to Beyond Retro? That’s a really good one.”
Her Favorite Music: “Broken Bells, King’s of Leon. A friend of mine, a girl called Rox, she’s amazing. Her music’s wicked; everybody has to listen to it.” She states matter-of-factly. “Johnny Flynn’s incredible. And I really love, Mumford and Sons.”
Antonia on being an artist: “I was at art school doing a course at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design in Fine Art. I had got a place at Chelsea College of Art after my foundation to do Fine Art Painting, which I very nearly took. It’s funny because my foundation was in the same building as the Drama Centre and I spent all my time wanting to know what they were doing. And I realized that painting was great but the solitary life of the artist wasn’t for me and I missed the theatre.”
What’s Next: Left Misfits after Series 3; starring in new Coldplay video “Charlie Brown.”
