Zazie Hayhurst

Zazie Hayhurst might not be splashed across every tabloid, but she’s definitely made her mark, popping up in some genuinely curious projects. You might’ve caught her in “Halo” (2022)—yeah, that wild sci-fi ride based on the video games. The show’s all futuristic armor and intergalactic chaos, but Zazie holds her own in the madness, giving off this grounded, relatable vibe even when the plot’s rocketing off the rails. Not everyone can pull that off, let’s be real. Then there’s “That Christmas” (2024). Just as you’d expect, it’s got all the holiday movie feels—awkward family dinners, tangled fairy lights, and those moments that are almost too cringey to watch (but you can’t look away). Zazie slips into the chaos of Christmas with a kind of warmth and comic timing that makes you actually want to root for her character, even when things go sideways. It’s not exactly reinventing the wheel, but hey, sometimes you just need a cozy holiday flick. And don’t sleep on “Man Down” (2013), either. It’s British comedy at its most offbeat—think weird teachers, schoolyard disasters, and that sense of secondhand embarrassment you just can’t shake. Zazie’s got this knack for showing up in scenes and stealing them, even when she’s not front and center. There’s something about her delivery, like she’s in on the joke but not trying too hard. Not a household name yet, but if you’re keeping score, she’s definitely worth watching.
