Gwendoline Christie is proof that Amazons once roamed the groomed lawns of England. Maybe there WAS a secret society of female warriors on some island no-one has ever visited, much like the Wonder Womsn movie. Plausible? Yeah.
Standing at 6’3″, Gwendoline Christie probably knew she was going to be typecast as a villain or warrior when she started acting. Lucky for us she’s been cast as both. The English lady has been a series regular on Game of Thrones playing warrior Brienne of Tarth and in the Star Wars saga as the demanding Captain Phasma. Gwendoline has also trampled through the Theatre district in London playing parts in: Cymbeline, Dr.Faustus, and Mirandolina.
