Early life
[edit]Tamsin Egerton was born on 26 November 1988 in Surrey, England, to Michael Dick and his wife Nicola Egerton.[2] Her father is a businessman.[3] She began her acting career at age 6, following her older half-sister Sophia, in a local youth theatre.[1] Egerton attended the independent Ditcham Park School in Hampshire.[1]
Career
[edit]In 2001, Egerton began acting professionally when she played Mary Lennox in a Royal Shakespeare Company musical production of The Secret Garden,[4] and appeared as young Morgaine in the television miniseries The Mists of Avalon.[5] She soon chose to shorten her surname to Egerton to improve her career prospects.[1] The following year she played Princess Elenora in the children's television series Sir Gadabout: The Worst Knight in the Land.[2]
Egerton's film debut was as Holly Goodfellow, a precocious vicar's daughter in the black comedy Keeping Mum (2005),[6] where she performed a nude scene. Her breakthrough role was as Chelsea, a member of a posh clique in St. Trinian's (2007).[1] She reprised the role in its sequel St Trinian's II: The Legend of Fritton's Gold in 2009.[2] Two years later, she starred in Chalet Girl with Felicity Jones, Ed Westwick, and Bill Nighy.[7] In the same year she portrayed Guinevere in the historical fantasy drama series Camelot.[8] In 2013, Egerton appeared in Michael Winterbottom's biopic The Look of Love which was based on the life of strip-club owner Paul Raymond.[9]
Personal life
[edit]Egerton has been in a long-term relationship with American actor Josh Hartnett, first announced in 2012.[10] They have a daughter (born 2015), a second child (born 2017), and a third child (born 2019).[11] In March 2022, Hartnett revealed he and Egerton had married in November 2021.[12] They reside in the Surrey–Sussex border region, in southeast England.[13] In 2024, Hartnett confirmed that he and Egerton have welcomed a fourth child.[14]
