A nepo baby with two very famous actor parents has bagged herself a role in the new Peaky Blinders movie – can you guess who her mum and dad are?
Ruby, 27, has followed in her parents footsteps as an actor and according to IMDB, she’s set to star as Agnes Shelby in the upcoming film, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.
The highly-anticipated project is a direct continuation of the BBC One television series and has an epic cast.
Cillian Murphy is back in the role of Thomas Shelby alongside Stephen Graham, Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee and Ian Peck.
Ruby joins other actors who are new to the Peaky Blinders world, including Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Jay Lycurgo and Barry Keoghan.
Her actor and filmmaker father is best known for his motion capture roles working with animation and voice work for computer generated characters.
He’s starred in massive Hollywood films including The Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong and the Planet of the Apes reboot series.
His work has garnered him several BAFTA awards, a Daytime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe nomination.
Meanwhile, his wife also has an impressive resume, having appeared in massive shows including The Crown, Bridgerton and Grantchester.
And she most recently entertained fans in the BBC drama Riot Women, written by Happy Valley’s Sally Wainwright.
Have you guessed who Ruby’s famous parents are?
That’s right, it’s none other than Gollum actor Andy Serkis and his wife Lorraine Ashbourne.
As well as the projects previously mentioned, Andy has starred in other big projects including Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Batman and Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
The couple got married back in 2002 and live in London with their three children, Ruby, Sonny and Louis.
Ruby Ashbourne Serkis has already starred in some big productions, having bagged small roles in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies thanks to her dad.
She’s since carved out her own career with projects such as drama comedy film La Cha Cha and most recently, Netflix film Steve, alongside Cillian.
Ruby is also set to appear on stage at The Hampstead Theatre in Indian Ink, alongside Felicity Kendal and Gavi Singh Chera.
A synopsis for the play reads: “Satirising the self-importance of both academia and the ruling class, Tom Stoppard’s Indian Ink is an evocative meditation on art and love, exploring how creativity can bridge even the most profound cultural barriers.”
Both of Ruby’s brothers, Sonny and Louis, have also bagged the nepo tag and ran with it, and are also acting.
Sonny has appeared in mini series Masters of the Air, The Witcher, The War Below and Young Wallander.
While Louis is best-known for his role as Alex in the 2019 fantasy adventure film The Kid Who Would Be King.
Back in 2017, Andy directed the film Breathe, which is a true story about the love between Robin and Diana Cavendish.
Many fans thought the film was inspired by Andy and Lorraine’s own love story, having been married for 23 years.
However, Andy has clarified the project was inspired by the Cavendish’s story and the power of their love to overcome adversity.
