Ava Joyce McCarthy
Ava Joyce McCarthy, born in Whitechapel, East London, back in 2013, is sort of a force of nature, honestly. She got her start super young—like, she was already modelling for big-name high street brands in 2017. That’s before most kids even figure out how to tie their shoes. Kids London picked her up as her agency, which, let’s be real, isn’t something you see every day for someone her age.
By summer 2022, Ava pops up on TV for the first time, doing a Wilko commercial. Just dipping her toes in, you know? But then, she doesn’t hang around—by the end of the same year, she jumps straight into acting with her debut in ‘The Ballerina’, which is actually the first spin-off from the whole John Wick universe. And yeah, people are hyped for that one; it drops in June 2025.
Ava’s just been climbing since then. She’s snagged a role in Disney’s ‘Andor’ season 2. That’s not exactly a small gig. Now, she’s filming her first leading role in a TV show that’s still hush-hush. There’s real momentum behind her—like, she’s not just along for the ride; she’s driving the thing.
She’s nuts about performing, totally obsessed with acting, and it shows. The way things are going, she’s probably got a wild future ahead of her. Not everyone gets this kind of start, and Ava’s clearly not wasting it.
