Ruby Rose Langenheim, or just Ruby Rose if you’re cool, is basically a powerhouse from Melbourne who’s done it all—model, DJ, actress, the works. She blew up on MTV Australia and then everywhere else as the face of Maybelline. This chick didn’t just stick to posing, either. She co-hosted Aussie TV shows, designed clothes (Milk and Honey, anyone?), and somehow found time to act, too. Her acting started back in 2008, but it was Orange Is the New Black that shot her into the North American spotlight. People couldn’t get enough of her as Stella Carlin—her dry humor and killer looks definitely helped. She’s been in a bunch of action flicks like Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, xXx: Return of Xander Cage, John Wick: Chapter 2, and even Pitch Perfect 3, because, why not? Oh, and she was tapped to play Batwoman for the Arrowverse, which is pretty wild. Ruby’s backstory is just as interesting—raised by a single mum, moved all over Australia as a kid, and has some pretty epic family connections (her godfather is boxing legend Lionel Rose, and her great-granddad survived Gallipoli). She’s not just a face—she’s designed fashion lines, worked with brands like Urban Decay and Nike, and even made her own viral short film that helped jumpstart her acting career. She’s graced the covers of Vogue, Marie Claire, all the big mags, and has been the Aussie ambassador for a bunch of brands. All in all, Ruby’s done more by her mid-thirties than most people do in a lifetime.
You know, filming The Meg back in 2018 wasn’t just all Hollywood magic and green screens—there was some legit danger on set. One of the wildest stories? Jason Statham, the guy who punches sharks for a paycheck, actually almost drowned while making this thing. No, seriously. Turns out, those water scenes weren’t all fake. At one point, Statham’s safety rig failed, and he just dropped right into the water—fully clothed, weighed down, the whole deal. Everyone freaked out. He’s a former Olympic diver, so he managed to get out of it, but the crew was like, “Holy crap, did we almost lose our action star to the very thing we’re filming about?” Talk about method acting, right? It’s honestly wild how close the movie came to turning into a real-life disaster. That’s the kind of behind-the-scenes chaos that never makes it into the press junkets.
Honestly, I used to think there were only two boxes—boy or girl, nothing in between. Then, somewhere along the line, bam, I find out about all these other options: gender neutral, gender fluid, you name it. Mind blown, right? Turns out, you can be a girl and rock “guy” clothes, or just not care about those dumb rules at all. Watching people own their style and ignore labels, it kind of makes you rethink the whole deal. Those old ideas about how you’re “supposed” to dress or act, they just don’t stick anymore. There’s this freedom in realizing you don’t have to pick one thing and stay there forever. Some folks flip the script every day, and honestly, isn’t that way more interesting than just following some boring rulebook? Everybody’s got their own way of being, and that’s what makes things actually fun to watch.
