Pom Klementieff Gets Candid About Skydiving, Sex Appeal And Standing Up For Herself

With her elfin features and platinum bob, Pom Klementieff has the kind of looks you don’t easily forget. Couple that with her magnetic screen presence and a flair for high‑wire action, and you’ve got yourself the new decade’s most charismatic superheroine. The 36‑year‑old actress of French‑Russian and South Korean parentage started her career in French indie films before making her way over to Hollywood. In 2013, she scored a breakthrough in Spike Lee’s Oldboy, but it was in 2017 that Klementieffhit the big time, when she joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe—the biggest franchise in entertainment—as Mantis, first in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and then in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. As the lovable but formidable alien, she got to flex both her action and comedic chops, earning her a legion of fans along the way

.

Things have been good for Klementiefffor the past few years, but this and the next two are shaping up to be supersonic. She has three Marvel films in the pipeline—Thor: Love and Thunder, Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3—and not one, but two Mission: Impossible films slated for release in 2023 and 2024. Despite her frenetic schedule, Klementieffmakes time for this cover shoot. Landing in London at 6am, she whizzes straight to set, where she spends the entire day executing high kicks, splits, pull‑ups and planks—all while dressed in clouds of pink marabou and purple taffeta. She’s super chill, completely down‑to‑earth—no airs, no manager on set—and works the camera like a dream. Here, she talks to us about fashion, film and her fighter’s spirit.
