Synnøve Karlsen is one of London’s hottest talents, a former Screen International Star of Tomorrow who has been in two Netflix series, Bodies and Medici; yet her “shouting at a TV star in the street” experiences still revolve around her role in 2017 BBC psychological thriller Clique, which she bagged at 19.
“Probably a couple of times a week, someone will come up and say, ‘Oh my god Holly! Hey Holly!’,” she tells me. “It’s nice that people have a memory of the show.” In Clique, Karlsen played a student — Holly — who found herself drawn into the shadowy world of university secret societies.
