FRESH FACE: 'Year One' Star Juno Temple
Her Current Gig: Juno Temple plays Michael Cera’s B.C. (ahem, before Christ) love interest Eema in Year One.
You Know This Face Because: Temple was the girl who cried rape on James McAvoy in Atonement and Cate Blanchett’s rightfully pissy daughter Polly Hart in Notes on a Scandal.
Why So Fresh? The English actress made her onscreen debut in 1998’s Vigo - Passion for Life written by noted rock documentary filmmaker (and Juno’s dad), Julien Temple. In the decade since, Juno has appeared in seven films, two of which have been nominated for Academy Awards. Not a shoddy resume for a 19-year-old.
In Her Own Words: On Year One: “I had to do an American accent, which is a bit of a challenge, and unfortunately the one letter I have difficulty with is ‘o.' My character falls in love with Oh (Cera's character), so whenever I have to say ‘Oh,’ I panic, but it’s been cool. Everybody’s American … so they’ve all been helpful making me sound as American as possible.”
Why We Love Her: Major talent. Awesome name. Haute couture beauty. British accent. Wild child hair. Daughter of rock filmmaker. Star of a film based on the works of cartoonist Ronald Searle. There’s literally nothing unlovable about this girl.
What’s Next: Temple takes on the bard in Ophelia, a big-screen adaptation of (the untold parts of) Hamlet. We all know how it ends, but won’t she look pretty floating dead down the river with that mess of hair bobbing around her?
