Lucy fromThe Chronicles of Narniais all grown up!
But what exactly has she been up to since leaving the magical world of Narnia?
As it turns out, little Lucy Pevensie is all grown up.
Read on to discover how Georgie Henley from theNarniaseries grew up to become gorgeous, both inside and out!
Georgie Henley’s rise to fame began when she was cast in theChronicles ofNarniaseries at justseven years old.
As Henley explained toThe Sunday Times, life on set wasn’t easy at first.
However, Henley and her co-stars soon ended up being like a real family on set.
In theblooper reelfor the first movie, viewers can see the four siblings laughing and singing together on set.
She continued, writing, “We’re so lucky, lucky, lucky.”
“I was bullied mercilessly; people were so awful to me at school,” she explained.
Apparently, living the life of a movie star made the bullying worse rather than better.
The bullying got so bad that Henley downplayed her acting achievements and avoided acting in school productions.
Apparently, she was too scared to act at school until her final year.
After growing up a little more, Henley wished she had been braver when beingbullied as a kid.
“I should have had the confidence to be proud of what I did,” she said.
It certainly sounds like Henley is a perfect example of how evenchild starscan go through difficult times at school.
For Georgie Henley, this dream became a reality.
Apparently, she was recommended by a local drama teacher (viaWhat’s On Stage).
As Henley said toThe Times, “I was just plucked from nowhere.”
Sounds like Henley’s entire acting career was based on one lucky childhood audition.
Talk about fate taking a hand!
“I went on and had a normal school life,” she toldWhat’s On Stage.
The university is listed as being theninth bestin the world, proving that the star is whip smart.
When Henley arrived at Cambridge, she wasn’t shy about getting involved in the student theater scene.
In fact, she did plenty of student productions of all shapes and sizes.
As Henley explained, she found theater to be a whole new throw in of experience.
As Henley grew up, she started to recognize issues with how the industry treats its youngest stars.
She continued, musing, “‘Disney kid gone off the rails’ is a self-perpetuating cycle.”
It’s clear that Henley has more than earned her stripes over the years.
It’s clear critics have long been impressed with Henley’s skills!
According toIMDb,Henley directed and written her own short film, calledTide.
Eventually, she made the film while she was still attending Cambridge.
WhileTidewas just a small production that Henley made with her university friends, it was deemed a success.
whileAnother fan gushedthat Henley had created “something so beautiful and important.”
Obviously, audiences have had no trouble noticing just how multitalented this former child star really is.
However, Georgie Henley has proven she isn’t afraid to take on some less-than-lucrative roles.
In fact, many of Henley’s projects have been pretty low budget in comparison toThe Chronicles of Narniafranchise.
In 2019, Henley starred in another short film calledGirl, SWEETVOICED.
Based on the poetry of Sappho, the flick proved to be another incredibly artistic piece.
That’s right: Henley’s talents don’t stop at acting and directing.
As it turns out, this star has actually written and published a few poems of her own.
As Henley explained, the poems were all about her experience of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown.
Additionally, some of her poems were published in the second issue ofFourteen Poems.
It seems that poetry helped Henley stay busy, creative, and artistic, even during a dark time.
However, Georgie Henley has tried her best to make a positive social impact, as well.
Henley is passionate when it comes tomental health.
There have been multiple instances where the star has spoken up about the importance of acknowledging depression and anxiety.
Progress is not linear, crying can be as beneficial as laughing, all things will pass."
In the caption for the photo, Henley wrote, “I am a feminist.
Talk about a bold, straightforward attitude to women’s equality!
It doesn’t get much cooler than that!
In 2016, Henley toldThe Varsity,“Whenever we can see each other, we do.”
She continued, explaining, “We spent so much time together that we genuinely are so close.”
According toThe Times,Henley is actually neighbors with her co-star, Anna Popplewell.
In 2019, Henley and her co-stars reunited for anemotional reunionas part of a Disney+ series calledProp Culture.
For these former costars, family is forever even fictional families.
We love to see it!
It’s pretty clear that Henley’s career was a bit more low-key following her Narnia years.
However, Henley has actually been tied to a few major, career-boosting projects.
