Calypso From Pirates Of The Caribbean Is Unrecognizably Gorgeous In Real Life

Most actors who make it in the business young simply take their success and run with it, particularly nowadays in the era of YouTube and TikTok celebs. Harris wanted to perfect her craft so, in spite of the fact she was technically a working actor since the age of nine, the London-born star decided to put herself through drama school. She described the decision, in an interview with Express, as the bravest thing she's ever done, admitting, "I couldn't get any funding as I'd already been to university but I didn't listen to anybody who said I couldn't do it."

It took 250 letters to local charities and a sizable loan from her uncle, which was all the money she had to her name. "I didn't know how I was going to last the two years or pay the fees and I think that is incredibly brave now I look back at it," Harris recalled. Thankfully, everything worked out, because the charities she had appealed to helped support her studies. Looking back, the actress realizes, "It was just fate and being fearless, I managed to get through."
