An interview with Kaya Scodelario about her new Netflix series, ‘The Gentlemen,’ and whether or not she keeps in touch with her ‘Skins’ castmates.
What is “good taste” anyway? Allow your favorite actor, musician, celebrity, or comedian to let you in on what they’re watching, reading, and consuming.Kaya Scodelario has been acting on sets for nearly two decades, ever since she was a 15-year-old playing a hard-partying raver in the U.K. seriesWhen Scodelario first appeared onscreen in 2007, Effy was just a side character — the younger sister of the show’s embattled and floppy-haired heartthrob, Tony Stonem.
What I liked about her was that this isn’t a story about her learning how to be a criminal. She already is. She knows what’s going on. She’s already at the top of the ladder. I thought it was very exciting to get to play a character who starts there already. She’s definitely the leader. It’s interesting, because every time someone asks me about the project who hasn’t seen it yet, they assume that I’m the girlfriend or the wife or the sidekick.
There seems to be quite a lot of TV and film at the moment that discuss social class and wealth — much of it is from a British perspective. Why do you think that is? There was a phase where every girl in my school wanted to look like Effy — in their MySpace profiles and everything. She had quite an aesthetic influence, didn’t she?
it wasn’t shocking to anyone if they saw us out drinking. I think that probably saved us a lot of tabloid drama, because no one found it strange to see us in the pub. I’ve always enjoyed working in America. When I was 19, I gotand I worked in Louisiana for a year. I was able to see that the world was a much bigger place and I could ignore the weird laddish culture that Britain had at that time.
