Marisa Abela
(Picture: Evening Standard)“If I’m on my own, it’s dark out, I’m walking down the street and it’s a group of guys who are like ‘that’s Yasmin!’ — that can freak me out sometimes. I guess because I’m aware of the nature of the show, and in season one, for Yasmin, there was quite a lot of nudity.” Marisa Abela, 25, one of the stars of cult drama Industry, still isn’t used to being “spotted”.
It is a testament to the very particular level of fame she is at — not a household name, but recognisable enough to make the odd trip to Tesco eventful. But if the amount of Hollywood heat on her is anything to go by, her star is on the rise: Abela has just finished shooting on Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Barbie film, alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
