Jade Ma

Jade Ma’s got this wild, cross-continental story. Born in ’97 in Hong Kong with a British dad and a Chinese mom, she started out smack-dab in the middle of two cultures. Kind of a spicy mix, honestly. By the time she was seventeen, she’d already packed her bags for the UK, chasing the whole actor dream at the Guildford School of Acting—talk about guts, right? Not everyone’s jumping countries at that age. Her first real TV gig? She landed a role in Surviving Christmas with the Relatives back in 2018, juggling that with rehearsals for the Miss Saigon UK/International Tour. Multi-tasking level: expert. She wasn’t just dipping her toes in—she dove straight into the deep end. Then, in 2019, things started picking up even more when she got cast in Black Widow. That’s Marvel territory. Big deal. Not everybody gets to rub shoulders with those superhero types. Fast forward a bit, and now she’s making waves on Netflix, playing Sky Tyler in Zero Chill. The show’s got her front and center, and let’s be real, she owns it. You can see her bringing all that international flavor and stage hustle straight to the screen. It’s pretty clear she’s not slowing down anytime soon, either. With that sort of background and work ethic, you can’t help but wonder what she’ll tackle next. Whatever it is, it’s bound to be interesting—she’s just getting started.
