Did Gwendoline Christie go to film school?
According to the records we checked, Christie’s first career choice was gymnastics but had to quit due to a spinal injury she suffered while training.
She subsequently took up acting as a career after her career as a gymnast ended abruptly.
Christie enrolled and graduated from Drama Centre London where she studied theatre. She faced a lot of skepticism from a lot of people including her own agent due to her huge physique.
According to them, she had to quit acting because her looks were unconventional and nobody will cast her for a role in any movie.
We can all attest to the fact that they were very wrong because as Christie has proved over the years with her stunning displays in her roles, there is a place for everyone in this world.
