My name is Leona. I'm a Dutchy (and proud) and I grew up in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside alongside my wonderful family and treasured friends. People like to call me Clarkie, Lee, El, Elsie, Little Loner...
I'm around 5ft 7 ('snack size' - as some like to call me), blonde haired and blue eyed. Fairly Casper-
like (sometimes even a little translucent, but we can blame that on the English weather), carefree and a happy soul. Big dreams, big ambitions and a lot of love for the world and everything in it.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pirate. Without the fighting and pillaging of course... Just sailing around the beautiful Caribbean on an awesome ship drinking rum. Yup. My brother and I used to spend hours in the garden stick fighting and pretending to be pirates. Oh the joys of being a kid... Growing up though, I realised that dream wasn't quite attainable. So I opted for the next best thing: being an international movie star. Because, you know, that's totally attainable...
All joking aside, I absolutely love the craft. I could spend every waking
(and sleeping) minute on a film set and be a very happy chappy. There's
something about film that makes me feel like I'm completely coming alive;
it makes my heart soar and my soul sing. Speaking of souls, I have always
been a very sensitive one. I sense and feel people's emotions as if they were my own.
It can be a tribulation at times and sometimes I think I need to 'toughen up' to the world and all its hardships, but I also consider it my little superpower. The ability to empathise with people's circumstances and experiences on such a personal level means I'm able to reflect truth within my acting. In some ways, it's a little like a form of therapy for me too. I get to express so many different thoughts, feelings and emotions and attach them to fictitious characters, not myself. It's very freeing.
​
One of my main goals in life is to touch the lives of millions through film, and to inspire people to put kindness, generosity and love first. I believe that acting can help provide the necessary platform of world-wide influential status through which I can try to inspire change.
