Rising Star Shares Advice She’s Received from Hollywood Legends

By Movieguide® Contributor

At only 15, Chloe Coleman has become one of Hollywood’s biggest rising stars, sharing the screen with dozens of A-list actors; she opened up about what she has learned so far and where she sees the future taking her.

“I treat all the characters I’ve gotten to play as parts of my learning experience in growing and working in film,” Coleman told Variety. “I think one of my favorite experiences was working with Adam Driver. I played his daughter in a movie called 65. He’s just so real. He was also very complementary, which meant a lot to me. I remember we were doing reshoots, and he was like, ‘I saw a cut of the film. I just wanted to say you did such a good job.’ That meant the world coming from him because I really do look up to him.”

Coleman has not allowed these opportunities with big-name actors to slip by. Whenever she is paired with these icons of the industry, she makes sure to ask them for advice so she can continue to grow her career.

“I’ve gotten different types of advice for both work and life. One of my favorite experiences was working with Chris Pine. I remember we were filming this really emotional scene and it was my coverage. And you know, I have to be emotional, it’s like a big thing,” Coleman said. “And he asked me, ‘Can I do anything for you as an actor?’ I was so floored because he was treating me like an adult even though I was a kid.”

“Emily Blunt, I had a conversation with her one day and she told me to make sure to always work with the best and to protect myself, and if I ever need anything I could reach out,” she added.

One of her favorite co-stars has been Dave Bautista who she worked with on MY SPY. The pair became fast friends and have stayed in touch throughout the five years since. They were recently reunited to film a second installment in the series, MY SPY: THE ETERNAL CITY.

“The coolest thing about how I’ve gotten to know Dave is that I knew him when I was nine, turning ten,” Coleman explained. “I’ve grown with him over the years and I am now 15. That’s crazy to me to have someone so special in my life for that long because, even though I work with him, he is like a father figure outside of work. From day one, I knew I was gonna love him. He’s epic. He’s like a best friend.”

“I couldn’t love her any more if she were my own child,” Bautista said of their relationship.

While Coleman does not know what the future holds next for her, perhaps fueled by her friendship with Bautista, there is one franchise she hopes she can join.

“I’ve always wanted to do a Marvel movie,” she said. “I love action, sci-fi, superpowers and all that.”
