As she put it toVogue, she “only felt British outside the house.”
As a young girl, Lynch quickly realized that acting was her passion.
After going toArtsEddrama school, she soon began racking up impressive film and TV credits.
Curious to learn more about this up-and-coming British star?
Here are some of the things you never knew about Lashana Lynch.
Lashana Lynch loves her natural hair
Lashana Lynch grew up feeling a little insecure.
As a Black girl in London, she didn’t always feel confident in her appearance.
As she explained toVogue, “Hair was a massive factor,” she says.
“I’ve always had natural hair, which is a big deal for a black girl … At first, she missed her old look.
But soon, she found that her shorter style could help her learn about herself.
Sounds like Lynch’s hair journey has been a big part of her life!
Like many other health-conscious actresses and actors, Lynch does follow a fairly strict diet on most days.
Sounds like Lynch is super healthy and regimented.
It turns out, she got her inspiration from a pretty unexpected place.
As the actress toldGQ, she was blown away by just how moving and affecting the films really were.
So, her dramatic education began early.
As a child, she took dance and music lessons.
She also took part in school plays.
“My first lead was Pinocchio in the school play,” she toldThe Guardian.
As a teenager, she continued to pursue acting by taking classes at Sylvia Young Theater School every weekend.
It seems that Lynch was already taking her career pretty seriously, even as a child.
In fact, at the time, she didn’t even let herself consider doing anything else.
“I was like, ‘[Another option] doesn’t exist.
There was never a plan B,” she said.
“I’m scared for cinema and theater,” Lynch said.
“It’s affecting actors.
We have to say, we’re super impressed with Lynch’s honesty and openness about her political views!
“I got on the Northern Line the wrong way and got there so late,” she recalled.
Luckily, the ordeal with the train only helped Lynch with her performance.
Sounds like this was the perfect audition to get a little stressed about.
As she explained toWho What Wear, that’s all thanks to her unique, bold approach to fashion.
For Lynch, fashion is just another opportunity to express herself and take charge of her appearance.
One of her favorite looks to date was her outfit for the “Captain Marvel” premiere in London.
“That’s all I want to do celebrate what I have while feeling comfortable.”
Lynch also has a great everyday style that’s all about pairing practicality and style.
Sneakers paired with a dress.
What a total style inspiration!
All of that changed when she took on the role of Nomi in “No Time to Die.”
For one thing, Lynch took on an intensive training regime for the part.
“They’ve trained me for life.”
She also became obsessed with healthy eating.
In fact, once the shoot was finished, she even bought herself a juicer.
“Forget all the big, expensive fancy stuff, I just want juice.
And I want it to be green,” she said.
Lynch clearly transformed into a ninja juice-drinker after Bond and we are super impressed!
While it was her first Marvel movie, it wasn’t her first brush with the MCU.
As she toldGQ, she had been trying to land a role in a Marvel movie for years.
“I’d taped for many roles, big and small,” she said.
“‘Black Panther,’ … ‘Venom,’ an ‘Avengers’ film.”
In fact, her ultimate goal was joining the MCU.
“It was a good few years of sending audition tapes before my role in ‘Captain Marvel.'”
As far as Lynch is concerned, she manifested her role in the film.
We totally love how she never gave up on her dream!
And for Lashana Lynch, it can be extra difficult thanks to racist and misogynistic online trolls.
Luckily, Lynch has a great self-care routine to keep herself grounded.
Lynch has also posted on Instagram about her love ofcrystalhealing,yoga, andself-help books.
This actress certainly knows how to take care of her mind and body!
It’s no surprise that she has a totally amazing beauty routine.
As the star explained to The New Potato, her routine involves a few key ingredients.
Her favorite brand is Dermologica, especially for days when she’s on set.
Apparently, shea butter really helps her with blemishes.
She also likes to use the Rituals Lotus Flower & Moringa Extract Creamy Foam Cleanser on a day-to-day basis.
As she explained, it “is cleansing but also gentle on the skin.”
It’s pretty clear that this star has an airtight skincare routine we’ll definitely take some notes!
However, some of us found ways to make the most of the time at home.
“At first I thought, ‘So, what do I do with my thoughts?
Where do I place all of these plans that I have?'”
Lynch toldTime Out.However, as she went on to explain, she quickly found ways to keep calm.
One of her favorite coping mechanisms was binge-watching TV shows online.
Another way she kept calm was by meditating and walking through nature.
Look at you, growing,'” Lynch recalled, laughing at herself.
Who knows, maybe we could all benefit from talking to our local plants!
For Lashana Lynch, getting into character is something that happens somewhat differently for each film.
However, she does have a few habits.
As she put it, “Ideas usually stick during the job, rather than before.
It sounds like Lynch has a very organic, flexible process.
