The 26 -year- old actress is not giving herself much time to savour one of her greatest joys, her huge fan base. She has movies coming out this year, an ambassador role for the new jewellery line, Clash De Cartier, and her commitment to support women causes are all part of her busy schedule. This passionate and articul ate english - brazilian actress talks candidly to elle. What a girl!

Kaya Scodelario-The Authentic Heroine

Kaya Scodelario sits on a huge and comfy sofa, dressed in a black fitted dress, with her long jet black hair hanging down loosely. With a sincere smile and a gentle gesture, she invites me to sit next to her. “More convivial,” she says. Her big blue eyes fix on mine: The warrior from Maze Runner, the fighter from Pirates of the Caribbean and the heavenly creature from Robin William’s Candy video — the characters that she played — they are all here.

She looks really cool, and she is! For each question asked, she answers with conviction and sincerity, expanding on her responses. She’s a journalist’s dream. I’m starting to understand why many love her so much.

I’m dying to ask her about her love story with actor Benjamin Walker, the vampire slayer from the film Abraham Lincoln, whom she met on the set of The King’s Daughter. But I’m too scared to break the magic of the moment. Celebrities hate being asked about their love life and their agents are never far away to oppose anything “too personal”. Despite the good vibes, I try to focus on the several characters she’s played that resonate with the millennials and Generation Z.
