Emma star Mia Goth on marriage, modelling and that Miu Miu campaign
Emma can’t wait to set up her low-born friend, Harriet Smith, Mia Goth with the oleaginous clergyman
When the comparatively lowly Harriet played by Mia Goth with an infantile innocence that extends from...
Mia Goth loves playing prim and proper characters, even if she is a nightmare on set. The London-born actor, who stars in the BBC’s new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma, says she relishes the opportunity to inhabit a world that is so different from her own.
“I love playing someone who is so buttoned-up and seemingly perfect,” she says. “It’s a challenge to find the cracks and the flaws in those characters, and to make them feel real and relatable.”
Goth is perhaps best known for her role as Pearl in the 2022 horror film X. In the film, she plays a young woman who is held captive by a group of elderly criminals. Goth’s performance was praised for its intensity and realism, and she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.
In Emma, Goth plays Harriet Smith, a young woman who is taken under the wing of the wealthy and well-connected Emma Woodhouse. Harriet is naive and socially awkward, but Emma sees her potential and decides to take her under her wing and introduce her to society.
Goth says she was initially drawn to the role of Harriet because she saw her as a complex and flawed character. “Harriet is so naive and trusting, but she also has a strength and resilience that I really admire,” she says. “I think she’s a great example of how even the most unlikely people can achieve great things.”
In addition to her acting work, Goth is also a successful model. She has appeared in campaigns for Miu Miu, Prada, and Louis Vuitton. Goth says she enjoys modeling, but she sees it as a way to express herself creatively, rather than a career path.
“I love fashion and I love playing with different looks,” she says. “But I don’t think I could ever be a full-time model. I need to be able to act and create characters. That’s what really fulfills me.”
Goth is currently in a relationship with actor Shia LaBeouf. The couple met on the set of the 2013 film Nymphomaniac. Goth says she is very happy with LaBeouf and that he is very supportive of her career.
“He’s an amazing actor and he’s always there for me,” she says. “I’m very lucky to have him in my life.”
Goth is one of the most exciting young talents in Hollywood. She is a gifted actor and model, and she has a bright future ahead of her.
