Fans of the popular series "The Game of Thrones" Gwendolin Kristi's name is well known. Hollywood actress of British origin became famous, playing the role of militant Brienne Tart. About the talent of the thirty-year-old Christie is written a lot, but her unusual appearance, which does not fit in with the generally accepted standards of beauty, is discussed in the press many times. The thing is that the actress Gwendolin Christie is one of the tallest representatives of her profession. She left far behind such famous beauties as Sigourney Weaver, Nadia Auerman and Uma Thurman. In this case, the parameters of Gwendolin Christie are practically the same as the model ones.
From sport to cinema
Christie was born in a small village of Worthing, which is located near the southern British town of South Downs in West Sussex. Her parents spent their whole lives on farming, but the future of their daughter Gwendolyn, who was born in October 1978, was seen differently. The girl received an excellent education in one of the British colleges. From childhood, she was fond of rhythmic gymnastics. At first, teachers did not believe that Gwendolin Christie could succeed, because her height and weight did not match the parameters characteristic for this sport. However perseverance and diligence young athlete was not to occupy. Gwendolyn firmly believed that sport is her destiny, but everything changed in a moment. During one of the exercises, the gymnast unsuccessfully performed a complicated trick. The fall resulted in a serious spinal injury. After a long course of treatment and rehabilitation, doctors forbade Gwendolyn to engage in not only rhythmic gymnastics, but also any other sports associated with physical exertion.
At the age of twenty-two, Christie decided to do what she always liked - a game in the theater. However, for this, the girl had to study acting for a few years at the London Drama Center. But even after the girl finished her studies, the directors did not hurry to make suggestions to her. It is likely that they simply did not have a role for a stately blonde, whose growth is 191 centimeters! The first role of Christie was received only in 2010. She played the queen in the play "Tsimbelin".
The production was successful. Gwendolyn began to learn on the streets, which added to the actress self-confidence. In 2011 she decided to pass a casting for the role of Brienne Tart in the second season of the Games of Thrones, organized by the HBO channel. And it happened not by chance! Gwendolyn learned that her candidacy is discussed in social networks. Many fans of the series claimed that the figure Gwendolin Christie is perfectly consistent with the description of this character by the author of the book "Song of Ice and Fire" by George Martin. Indeed, not much in Hollywood actresses who could play a tall, strong, courageous woman who can masterfully master a heavy sword. Gwendolyn became interested in what she heard, and reading the comments prompted her to read the popular novel. And the actress realized that she really wants to play this role, which completely absorbed her.
