There's been a lot of discussion around this topic in the British media with actors like James McAvoy and Judi Dench weighing in on the subject in the past and this article sums some of that up.For my part, I was surprised at just how many successful British actors are privately educated considering only 6.5% attend independent schools.A list below gathered from various articles:Eddie Redmayne (Eton) Benedict Cumberbatch (Harrow), Dominic West (Eton) Damian Lewis (Eton), Tom Hiddleston (Eton), Henry Cavil (Stowe) Jamie Campbell Bower (Bedales), Tom Hardy (Reed) Matthew Goode (Exeter) Dan Stevens (Tonbridge) Andrew Garfield (City of London Freeman School) Josh O' Connor (St Edwards, Cheltenham) Alex Lawthers (Churchers College)Rosamund Pike (Badminton) Alice Eve (Bedales), Juno Temple (Bedales) Carey Mulligan (Woldingham)Kate Beckinsale (Godolphin and Latymer) Imogen Poots (Latymer) Emilia Clarke (St Edward's) Emily Blunt (Hurtwood House) Rebecca Hall (Roedean) Anya Taylor Joy (Queen's Gate School) Florence Pugh (St Edward's School) Emma Corrin (Woldingham School) Phoebe Dynevor (Cheadle Holme School)I'm not an actor and don't have any aspirations to act but if I came from a working class background and wanted to break into acting, I'd be seriously intimidated. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3vxzylk
