She's Hollywood's billion-dollar woman-and the Oscar winner is only just getting started.
Just a few years ago, she was a struggling actress starring in lesser known films while doing bit parts for TV. However, fast-forward to 2019 and Brie Larson is something of a big deal – like, a billion-dollar big deal!
Last week it was announced her latest film Captain Marvel, in which she plays the titular character in Marvel’s first female-led superhero film, had generated an astonishing $358 million in North America and a whopping $645 million overseas – taking the grand total to over one billion dollars!
Here, we take a look at how the rising actress went from a Disney Channel star to a billion-dollar superhero…
CATCHING THE ACTING BUG
Brie knew from a young age she wanted to be an actress. It was during a family talent show at the age of four that she had an epiphany – dressed as the Energizer Bunny! ‘At one point I had to walk across the living room in the costume, and my whole family laughed,’ Brie said in a recent interview. ‘I didn’t know that was something that could happen, and I didn’t understand why it happened, but I liked it.’ A star was born!
Bitten hard by the acting bug, Brie – who was born Brianne Sidonie Desaulniers to French Canadian parents – was homeschooled by her homeopath/ chiropractor mum. As her surname was difficult to pronounce, Brie adopted the stage name Larson from her Swedish great-grandmother – and the surname of the American Girl doll that she received as a child.
The gamble paid offwhen, at the age of six, Brie was accepted to study drama at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco – the youngest student ever to be admitted!
