Fourteen-year-old from County Kildare to play opposite Oscar winner in feelgood film Joyride
An Irish teenager has been plucked from obscurity and cast alongside Olivia Colman, one of the industry’s most sought-after actors, as the lead characters in a feature film that begins shooting this month.
Fourteen-year-old Charlie Reid, from County Kildare, is said to be “absolutely thrilled” to have been picked to play a 13-year-old “scallywag” opposite Colman, who won an Oscar for her portrayal of Queen Anne in The Favourite and whose acclaimed performances include Queen Elizabeth in the Netflix hit The Crown.
