Rebecca Ferguson / Rebecca Louisa Ferguson Sundström

Born on October 9, 1983 (Stockholm, Sweden).

Rebecca Ferguson has a way of commanding the screen without raising her voice — a quiet intensity as sharp as a blade. From outwitting Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible to ruling the sands in Dune (2021), and standing as the fearless heroine of the series Silo, she balances grace and danger with effortless precision. Born in Sweden with British roots, she once stepped away from acting altogether after early success in Swedish television, retreating to a quiet life far from the spotlight. Then fate — in the form of a film director — found her in the most unlikely place: a supermarket parking lot. That chance meeting led to roles that propelled her into the ranks of global superstars. She doesn’t just play strong women — she inhabits them, as if strength were her native language.

Married. Mother of two children.
