In an industry full of them, actress Claudia Jessie is no nepo baby. In fact, she’s quite the opposite: she grew up between council estates and houseboats, moving around for reasons to do with her dad that she can’t fully get into (“Without, uh, incriminating him”, she laughs, clearly having gone through this process of redaction before), and she never went to drama school.
She actually didn’t go to school school, either. Born in Moseley in 1989, her family struggled financially while she was growing up, moving between Birmingham and London and back again.
