Juno Temple

Born on July 21, 1989 (London, England, United Kingdom).

Juno Temple carries a rare spark — a mercurial mix of mischief, fragility, and a kind of feral curiosity that makes her impossible to categorize. She can be the wide-eyed dreamer, the streetwise survivor, the bruised angel or the unpredictable trickster — sometimes all within the same breath. In the restless sensuality of Little Birds (2011), she radiated a danger wrapped in innocence; in Killer Joe (2012), she delivered a performance as raw as a nerve ending, equal parts unsettling and heartbreaking. The offbeat charm of Dirty Girl (2011) and the bittersweet glamour of Wonder Wheel (2017) revealed yet another face — someone who can carry chaos and vulnerability with the same disarming ease.

There is something chameleon-like about her, but unlike the seamless transformations of actresses such as Amy Adams or Jennifer Lawrence, Temple’s metamorphoses are jagged, unpredictable, emotionally unfiltered. She does not glide between identities — she fractures them, rearranges them, lets the cracks show. That unpredictability places her somewhere near the orbit of Saoirse Ronan’s emotional intensity and Teresa Palmer’s supernatural softness, yet she remains unmistakably her own creature.

Her screen presence often feels like she has one foot in the real world and one in a fever dream. She is the kind of actress who can make you want to hug her and keep your distance — sometimes simultaneously, with a single look. The camera loves her because it can’t predict her; directors love her because she never repeats herself.

Off-screen, Temple protects her privacy with the same elusiveness many of her characters carry — as if she prefers to leave her mythology in the hands of her roles rather than interviews. Her public persona remains deliberately blurred, a soft outline rather than a defined silhouette. It only strengthens the sense that the most vivid, most truthful version of Temple is the one unfolding on screen.

Single. No children.
