Mia Goth

Mia Gypsy Mello da Silva Goth (born 25 October 1993) is a British actress. Following a brief stint in modelling as a teenager, Goth made her feature film debut in the erotic art film Nymphomaniac (2013). She gained further recognition with films such as The Survivalist (2015), High Life (2018), Suspiria (2018), Emma (2020) and Infinity Pool (2023). Goth achieved a career breakthrough in 2022 when she starred in the X slasher film series installments X and Pearl, the latter of which she also co-wrote. She has since starred in the horror film Infinity Pool (2023). Early life Goth was born in Guy's Hospital in London, England. Her mother is Brazilian and her father is Canadian, originally from Nova Scotia. Her maternal grandfather is Jewish-American artist Lee Jaffe, and her maternal grandmother is Brazilian actress Maria Gladys. Goth moved to Brazil when she was a few weeks old, because her mother, who was 20 at the time, needed help from her family to raise her. They returned to the United Kingdom when she was five and briefly relocated to her father's native Canada when she was ten. There, she attended nine schools in a single school year; Goth said that the period when they tried living with her father was very difficult. When she was twelve, she and her mother settled in southeast London, where she attended Sydenham School. Goth's mother raised her in a single-parent household, working as a waitress to support them.
