TALK OF THE TOWN: Ellie Bamber on the road to stardom… or the scrapheap as her ancient BMW is older than her
Ellie Bamber has already made it big in TV by starring in BBC dramas The Serpent, The Trial of Christine Keeler and Les Miserables, but she’s yet to pick up her first big blockbuster pay cheque it seems – as you can tell from her car!
The 24-year-old has been pictured driving what I would call a beaten-up, second-hand BMW banger, above, which is even older than she is.
She might prefer the term ‘classic’.
TV star Ellie Bamber, 24, pictured, was wearing an oversize fine knit cardigan and carrying a Chanel rucksack while out and about in north London earlier this week
The star, pictured in her 30-year-old BMW convertible might be able to upgrade her 3-series now she is on the Disney payroll
Not only that, but she was pictured in North London, wearing a tired-looking dressing-gown style coat that doesn’t exactly scream ‘Hollywood megastar in the making’.
Yet that is precisely what she is, as she starts filming Lucasfilm’s big fantasy blockbuster series Willow next week and will soon be raking it in, now she’s on the Disney payroll.
Expect an upgrade from the 30-year-old BMW 3 Series soon…
Isabella’s famous last words
At the emotional climax of the classic film Casablanca, Humphrey Bogart tells Ingrid Bergman: ‘We’ll always have Paris’, before their characters part ways for ever. And now the actress’s daughter, Isabella Rossellini, has said farewell to her lockdown lover in just the same way.
Isabella has been enjoying a pandemic romance – her first for 20 years – with a mystery man, but sadly has ended things now lockdown is over.
‘I didn’t expect that at 68 you can have a fling after 20 years,’ says New-York based Rossellini, whose exes include Gary Oldman and Martin Scorsese. ‘I have to say it was very pleasant and very surprising.
‘We were caught in my house in those early months and now he’s gone back to the West Coast, where he lives. So I always quote, Casablanca-style, to this man, “We’ll always have Covid.” ’
My Lips are sealed, but…
Which famously attractive British TV drama star has taken a hunky male lover?
The pair enjoy languorous weekdays together at a smart postcode in East London, but at the weekend the A-list actor returns to the family home 75 miles away… where his wife lives blissfully unaware with their baby!
