“You understand why feminists are furious, we’re still talking about this?” Does this line ring a bell about a beautiful and unstoppable lady? Yes, we’re talking about none other than Rose Byrne. The Sunshine star is known for her irresistible beauty and talent. With her decision of taking up offbeat roles, Byrne’s emergence has revolutionized the prospects of acting. In the times when women were more into glamorous roles, she shattered glass by taking up comic roles and stunned the audience with her performances in movies like Bridesmaids and Neighbors. She was also critically acclaimed for her movie Spy (2015) where she played the role of a terrorist. Though she is known for her comic roles, she didn’t start out doing comedy. Before her breakthrough, Rose played several small roles in big films like Marie Antoinette, Wicker Park, Troy, and The Dead Girl. From horror films to romantic comedies to serious dramas, there’s nothing this talented actress can’t do.
Our favorite Rosie – Rosa – Rose Byrne was born as Mary Rose Byrne in Balmain, a suburb of Sydney. She is of Irish and Scottish descent and has three siblings. According to a statement given by her, her mother is an atheist, but she and her father are agnostic.
Every big break comes after a lot of rejections and things were no different for Rose. Byrne once expressed in an interview how growing up, she faced plenty of rejections from film schools. But little did she know that she had a long way to go. She seized her first role for Dallas‘ Doll just at the age of 15! Amazing! Right? Byrne has explored a lot of genres that brushed her as actress par excellence. Well because according to her, you have to be aggressive in this (Cinema) business, you cannot be ‘Boxed’. From the movies like Echo Point, Two Hands, and Three Sisters to the movies like Star Wars, Sunshine, and 28 Weeks Later, Byrne gave remarkable performances and tasted success in each one of them. Not only Cinema and Theatre, but Byrne also made her mark in television too. She was nominated twice for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding supporting actress in drama series in 2009 and 2010. She played her role in all fifty-nine episodes of the series Damages until its finale in September 2012 for which she also won two Golden Globes! Her turn to comedy led to The Hollywood Reporter calling her “the most in-demand supporting actress for comedies”
Just when we thought she could not amaze us more, let us tell you that she is considered as one of the most beautiful women around the world. She ranked 9th and 15th in Australian FHM “Sexiest Women in the World” in 2001 and 2006 respectively. She has been featured several times in “The Annual Independent Critics List of the 100 Most Beautiful Famous Faces From Around the World”. Quite a Men’s favorite, Bryne has been ranked 78th on AskMen’s Top 99 ‘Most Desirable Women’ in 2012. She was also featured in the “Most Beautiful People” list of 2007 in Who Magazine and People ranked her 7th in their list of ‘Best Dressed Celebrities’ in 2015.
We know she is a stunner on-screen, but do you know that she is as stunning off-screen as well? Byrne has been supporting UNICEF Australia by being the face of the 2007 Designers United campaign and a member of Tropfest jury in 2006 and Tropfest at Tribeca in 2007. Rose Byrne has supported the Motion Picture and Television fund foundation for Creative Arts. Not only this but she also once attended the Ads-Up event to support refugees who cannot go back to their country. No wonder she is a people’s person. She also openly advocates for the LGTBQ+ community. In 2016, her husband Bobby shared a photo of Rose in a “Say I do down Under” shirt with an Australian Map which clearly shows that she stands up for country and countrymen. Speaking of her husband, She and Bobby Cannavale have been together since 2012 and birthed two children named Rocco and Rafa, aged two and three respectively. Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale are a power pairing of talent. They do projects together again and again and again, though they don’t do press as a couple. In the seven years they’ve been a couple, they’ve worked together five times and are about to make it two more.
Rose Byrne has been often described as minimalistic. With her charming smile and talent, she has locked our hearts with her. Be it her fashion sense or her character, she has always been
fierce and fun!
