Kaya Scodelario Instagram – Introducing our ‘Good People’ cover star Kaya Scodelario (@kayascods) 🗡️
“At the beginning of my career, everyone wanted me to be this English rose and play all these period drama characters, and be very nice and good. But I never felt like an English rose because I’m not one.”
Make no mistake, Kaya Scodelario (@kayascods) is no English rose. Despite making her name for herself as Effy – who had teens up and down the UK reaching for black eyeliner – she’s since carved out a career that defies expectation: no period dramas, and nothing you’d expect from a British “girl next door”. From battling alligators in Crawl to playing the felonious Susie Glass in The Gentleman, she’s made complexity her calling card. And Scodelario’s resistance to the English rose label runs deeper than roles alone — it’s tied to her Brazilian heritage, which is finally taking centre stage in Netflix’s Senna. For an actor who’s always questioned her characters’ intentions, it might be her most authentic role yet.
