RGE Ep.7 - Kaya Scodelario

Video Description

This week is the final episode of this season on ‘Really Good Exposure’ (Boo! But don’t worry, we will be back!). To end it with a bang we have the incredibly talented Kaya Scodelario! Meg has had the pleasure of knowing Kaya for almost two decades now - they first met as teenagers when they were on the UK teen drama ‘Skins’ together a shocking 18 years ago (!!!) and Kaya has not been able to get rid of Meg ever since :) During this episode, Kaya and Meg talk about the not-so-glamorous side of acting and what it was like working on such an adult show at such a young age. Kaya tells the story of how she was discovered at the Skins open auditions - and the fact that she was actually NOT The first person who was cast to play Effy in Skins (there’s also an alternate universe where Meg and her twin sister Kat play different roles too!). Kaya and Meg talk about the moment they first met, what filming together was like, the importance of prioritising your mental health and how it was for Kaya growing up in the spotlight, managing social anxiety and the para-social relationships people can have with actors, particularly women in the industry. Meg also has a guess at which very well known actor is a sh**ty kisser… You can watch Kaya play the badass Susie Glass in 'The Gentlemen' on Netflix (season 2 is in production now!) and you can follow her on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/kayascods.
